6N's! Wales v Scotland! OK, so we won! But what a shoddy 1st half AGAIN! WTF is it with Wales playing 20 Min's

Question

of good rugby!!!!!!

Is it me?

or do you agree?

Answer 1

We've had this second half or 20 min spell thing ever since G.Jenkins took charge !?!??! I think it's just a matter of time before Gatland/Edwards knock it out of them!!

Its getting to the stage were if we're in front at half time we know we're gonna win the second half and if were close behind (or 13 pts if we're playing the Chariot Swingers) we can still pull it out the bag ?!?!?!

Answer 2

Wales are playing much better mental rugby and the formula is working. They are going to win the Grand Slam this season and early control is necessary and then  put your foot on the gas.

Answer 3

Hey listen, if Wales were shoddy i'd like to know what Scotland was, trust me, you should be pleased at how Wales played.

Answer 4

It's not you. Wales has been a team of 1 half for the last year or so.

Answer 5

Well they played better than they did last week but if they play like that against england again, or france they're not going to advance any more in this tournament.

Answer 6

I'd love to eavesdrop on Gatland's half time talk with the team. Should be interesting.

Answer 7

Not shoddy. A lot more controlled. Scotland were completely predictable. Gat's will be reasonably happy. Winning is not all about the glory of tries, Wales has to learn that.

Have to do the hard yards on D and, when Scotland keep playing like they do year in year out . . . it really is too easy for a well drilled side to take the Scots attacking sets apart and actually attack (move play into the areas you want to and turn the ball over) - even though the other team think they are winning because they have possession -  their possession is being controlled by the team without the ball - they don't realize that they are going backwards, or being forced into a corner or toward the touch line. Australian sides are very very good at doing this - Scotland is not ! Scotland is light years behind modern rugby nations and had no clue (as always) what was happening. The game slowed down a bit - and became frustrating.

Hadden is so old school it's embarrassing. There was a definite taste of "new complex south" meets "old simple north" in this game, and thats not always exciting - you must learn to look beyond the glory of a fantastic try !

Plenty of good things happening for the Ospreys, but I'm pretty sure Gatland will not enjoy any bugger talking grand Slam just yet:

"We have got some momentum now. We've still got a couple of levels to go before we can compete with the best in the world -- but when we get there we will be very good."

Answer 8

playing good enough to win do not complain .. when you throw games away start worrying !!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

theyre simply not good enough to play 21 or more mins of good rugby and will get hammered by the french.  they will lose to the irish too.  and the italians will make them sweat like a welshman in a field full of naked sheep on a scorching summer's afternoon
