If you were watching the Newport under 12's you would have said it was quality judging by how pissed you were mate :D Hope the midnight curry was :thumbs:

Couldn't play as in get it together, or couldn't play as in not given chance to?

[Dave200]

i dont think we could get it together, we werent given alot of chances but when we were, we just fooked it up

Didnt have any time or depth to run at the Ball, I hate to say it but they really miss Henson's sweeping long pass in the backs to make the gap, Peel is also a major loss, nobody took control of the game for us.

Wouldnt have meade much of a difference :no:
They are far superior in every department.
I couldnt believe how aggressive they were, at every breakdown there were Welsh players flying everywhere :eek:

i think the welsh team need to buff up a bit becuase all of the players for new zealand are like juggernauts, i think it was shane williams who got flattened about 30ft in front of me, it looked like he hit a brick wall,

as for ball control, wales were shite a passing and in the lineouts too, shame really. they should of kept their line tighter so no-one could get through.

never-the-less, i still want to go to the home matches to watch as the atmosphere was awesome :thumbs:

Lets look at the positives, our front row was excellent we have strength in depth there now when Gethyn Jenkins comes back and the indroduction of Horseman.

I thought Cockbain was excellent sidoli not so good but didnt have a bad game.

I think our back row is shit! Michael Owen coldn't break the seam of his pants let alone a tackle, We need a few aggressive players to take us forward like Scott Quinnell, Hill and Dilaglio were able to do they just seem too weak and soft!
Charvis has to go hes had his time

Mike Philips was ok at scrum half but played a different game to what he normally does this showed up too! (Peel is a big big loss he controls more than we think)

Steven Jones was excellent made the tackles on the big all black back row bursting through (The tackles charvis and Jonathan Thomas should have been MAKING)

Our centres were shit they both need to go to old too small too weak somes up taylor and sweeney! Should have played Sonny Parker and Gareth Thomas in Centre.

Shane Williams had an average game didnt get any space so couldnt shine tackled well for a small guy but he always does!

Kevin Morgan was shit, either fell over his own feet or missed tackles resulting in tries!!! Perhaps leave him in the changing rooms next time!!

Gareth Thomas Was superb the only man who stood up to the all blacks! He hit them back in tackles and also made a few penetrating breaks, also made two try saving tackles and a truley superb player.

But over all even with our lions we wouldnt have beaten them they are leagues ahead of everyone at the moment
