I think it does also come back to the regional game. Our half backs play for the scarlets, a team who have not been performing and will have therefore lacked confidence. I do worry about the lack of number 10’s in Wales. Great that Sheedy is going to Cardiff, but it says a lot when their previous outside half is happy to sit on the bench at Quins. In addition, I can’t believe the Welsh government are not keen on refinancing the loan to the regions. It is our national sport and makes a huge difference to the national mood and is an easy win for them. Instead they want another 66 AM’s, it’s pathetic
Considering the amount of retirements and departures, I thought the team did quite well. Considering we have Faletau, Jac Morgan, Rowlands, Plumtree, and others to be included, things are looking up. The cohesion of the team will take a while. Let’s be positive.
Hi Adrian, thanks for subscribing, hope you're enjoying so far. There were certainly some very encouraging signs in that second-half. Like you say, when you consider some of those names to come back (add North and Dewi Lake to that list) then there's plenty be positive about. It's going to take a bit of time, and there will be some issues along the way with youngsters finding their feet. That first-half was exceptionally poor by any measure, mind, so hopefully it was a bit of an aberration. Big game now on Saturday. Cheers, Jon - Head of Sport, WalesOnline
It reminded me of the 2003 World Cup against NZ when Wakes flicked a switch following a few try’s and scared the life out of the ABs
