I quite fancy a Gibson ES 335, figured cherry red.
They do like them though:Blackmac wrote: Sat Feb 25, 2023 6:30 pm I think Wales have a decade of wooden spoons to look forward to.
Ntamack will outdo that tomorrow with better fwds and better backs.
On the scoreboard maybe.
I'm more concerned about his chin fluff and him only being given 20 seconds on the pitch even with Farrell having one of his crapper games.
Can't risk the lead by removing our inspirational leader of men. His replacement might miss a kick at goal, or give utterly predictable passes in midfield. If he's not stood ten metres behind the gainline to hoof an aimless kick to the oppo back three. Best limit the replacements to cameos. Just in case.sockwithaticket wrote: Sat Feb 25, 2023 6:44 pmI'm more concerned about his chin fluff and him only being given 20 seconds on the pitch even with Farrell having one of his crapper games.

I’ve just remarked to a Welsh mate that it’s painfully like watching Scotland 10 years ago. Zero confidence, a lot of good work wasted by unforced errors or inability to retain the ball in contact. I mean this in sympathy- it was utterly shite, and I worry about how easily we might end up there again.C69 wrote: Sat Feb 25, 2023 7:12 pmThis is very old.news.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Feb 25, 2023 6:41 pm Apparently Gatland tried to get Howley back on his team
Wales attack is woeful
Listen mate the Scotland fans have more than earned the right to have their danders up right now but do you really have to lord it over us like thisSlick wrote: Sat Feb 25, 2023 6:50 pm Far be it for me to suggest again that the WC rankings were done a tad too early, but those 2 are the top seeds in their groups

Nah wasn’t meant as a particular dig at England, we have, rightly, been complaining about the draw for a long timetc27 wrote: Sat Feb 25, 2023 7:26 pmListen mate the Scotland fans have more than earned the right to have their danders up right now but do you really have to lord it over us like thisSlick wrote: Sat Feb 25, 2023 6:50 pm Far be it for me to suggest again that the WC rankings were done a tad too early, but those 2 are the top seeds in their groups

The key difference is we had an equally shite Italy to play against - it doesn’t look like Wales will have that.
Interestingly (?) I think S4C said that Grady is the first Wales player to get his first Welsh cap in the 5N/6N since Howley in 199something. Is that credible?Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Feb 25, 2023 6:41 pm Apparently Gatland tried to get Howley back on his team
I agree but let's be honest noone thinks Gats is taking this as a serious tournament he is using this as a trial series rotating players looking at new players and hopefully binning players like AWJ and 1/2 P.Biffer wrote: Sat Feb 25, 2023 7:29 pmVery much so.Yr Alban wrote: Sat Feb 25, 2023 7:17 pmI’ve just remarked to a Welsh mate that it’s painfully like watching Scotland 10 years ago.

Fucking hell, guess whoThe match that almost never happened turned out to be a treat. England always held the edge of superiority, they looked far more like a proper rugby team than they ever did in the latter years of the dismal Eddie Jones reign, and the partnership of Owen Farrell and the competitive Ollie Lawrence in midfield gave them a splendid shape.
It was just as well because Farrell was to miss 11 points in all with his kicks at goal and, with players such as Louis Rees-Zammit around and with their two brand new and youthful centres showing striking promise, Wales could always find a way to break through in those times late on when the margin was only five points.
