Question

England Wales. Half time - were Ashtons selections good?

Answer 1

Tim W.The Welsh don`t know what hit them?They won you moron. If the whole team is injured and can`t play the next game that`s okay.Johnny Wilkinson has proved once and for all he is a supreme kicker of the ball and fantastic tackler,but in open play he is hopeless.He didn`t lead his team,some of his passing in open play lead eventualy to turnovers.As for the south sea islander,much more of that high tackling and he will spend most of the 6 nations in the sin bin.

Answer 2

From a Welsh point of view I'm glad that he stuck with Wilkinson, who was having a terrible game and that he didn't bring Cipriani on. The English bench wasn't strong enough to change the game, unlike the Welsh bench. When we could bring on Gethin Jenkins, Shanklin and Popham and England brought on a rugby league player for his debut, we were given the advantage.

Answer 3

I think his selections were forced upon him.

Johnny is on form and some good performances so far.

Loving the fact that Sheridan at prop is finally injury free.

Worth ducking when the Volcano comes flying...hope he makes a good transition from League to Union.

Shame early injuries to Rees, Moody and Strettle....he is such a promising winger.

Wales don't know what's hit them.

Answer 4

You cannot blame Ashton, unless he told them half time:

"we have won this, go out and relax now!"

OR

"let us change the game plan, this one is not working!"

OR

"poor Wales, give them a chance, pity!"

England had total control in the 1st half and they let Wales in and got punished for it!

Answer 5

Ashton might have picked well. It seemed great to start with and WE THREW IT AWAY!

I can't believe this calibre of team could let Wales through from such a lead.

Unbelievable.

Answer 6

Spot on!!!!

Cymru am Byth!!!!

Answer 7

Answer 8
