Do either of these teams want to win?
November 15, 2025 at 7:08 PM
Genuine question. What do Wales do well? Kicking game ammateur. Defence mid tier. Attack easily read. Lineout clunky. Scrum nothing to write home about.

Wales are in this game purely due to two moments of magic by Dan Edwards that's it.

Blair Murray, at the heart of everything good (for Japan)

I think Blair Murray more than aything has just highlighted how fortunate Wales were to have Leigh Halfpenny.
November 15, 2025 at 5:52 PM
I believe.
England prove that this NZ side is there for the taking, as Scotland were so close to doing.

You've never had a better shot, Wales. Don't let us down.

Blair Murray's record under the highball for Wales in his last three tests-

v Japan (Test 1): Won 2 of 7 highballs hung on him

v Japan (Test 2): Won 3 of 6 highballs hung on him

v Argentina today: Won 1 of 8 highballs hung on him
I’m just gonna say it. Wales would be a better team without Blair Murray.

No amount of occasional attacking brilliance outweighs the fact that every high ball fired down his throat is guaranteed possession for the opposition.

A liability we cannot afford.

Until Wales sort out the ability to win the high ball in any capacity, they will not compete at international rugby. It's too critical a component of the game these days.

Wales gifted Argentina somewhere in the region of 20 points in this game through basic errors/fitness issues. Does that meaingfully change the result no, but it does perhaps provide some better context to the scoreboard

To go from losing by 3 points at half time, to losing by 15 is brutal. Goes from a game Wales can steal to a game we're playing for pride in an instant

I've really come around to Alex "f-you" Mann
November 9, 2025 at 3:51 PM
Jac Morgan is something else.

Is it just me or does Tom Rodgers look taller without the scrum hat?

Honestly, the talk about the WRU surrendering North Wales to football, feels like it's going to happen again with Swansea. They've seen that Swansea City get massive crowds over the Ospreys, and just decided it's not worth fighting.

WRU is happy being the smaller sport.

Back in the day I was staunchly Warburton > AWJ as Wales Captain

I whole heartedly rescind that opinion. AWJ and Ken Owens are the real ones 🫡

Me: "WRU chooses to support teams that listen to their threats over teams that question."

Newport Fan: "You hate us, and you screwed over Cardiff, and I'll laugh when your team is cut".

I hate Welsh Rugby.

6 months of chaos and uncertainty for an answer that's basically - "We'll be back with the axe in 2 years. In the meantime go play well!"

Every action of the WRU leads them to angering fans, and stressing players.

Turns out that here in Cymru we’re not as keen on fascism as some people thought we were.

I wonder why that might be?

Facts, plain and simple. First thing I did when sharing the team list with the family was try and apply everyone's position
Dear Rugby Social Media Managers,

Nobody likes squads listed alphabetically.

It won't help new fans learn player names or understand positions and experienced fans get fed up with the mental gymnastics needed to figure out the positional balance of a squad.

Thanks.
