Wales v Australia

[Soggypitch]

I watched all this game and to be fair the Wallabies were good but Wales were dire.

Puts England's whitewash in Aus into even more perspective, and providing we have some of our injured players back for the 6N, I would be surprised if we don't have another good tournament, on this form Wales will be fighting Italy for the wooden spoon.

Gatland may even be forced to pick some England players for once!! Ok we'll let a few Irish in as well after last night's performance!

I agree soggy, the same conversation I had with my wife re England's performance. Cant see Wales doing much in 6N's, famous last words, they look very one dimensional in attack. Jamie Roberts must be past his best days now.

Woeful Welsh!! Shame I am away from the office this week - could have had a 'banter full' week!

Despite the coaching of Larkham, Australia used most of the same backs moves they always had; it was as if Wales had never watched Australia play in the last decade or so, failing to drift fast enough when the Aussies stacked one side of the breakdown, and so on.

The speed of passing from Australia (and Ireland) was what struck me yesterday.
They were very direct, moved the ball very quickly and the holes just got bigger until big enough.
Australia made lots of errors but when it stuck it was simple.
Also what the Welsh pundit called dummy runs the Aussie pundit Drew Mitchell called options, two differing mind sets and one very limited play book.

The Aussies constantly stacked their backs behind each other and then played what evolved in front of them - the runners had several options. Not rocket science.

TBH, expect Wales to be better against England, they always are. The thing I've always wondered about is, if they can lift themselves against us, how come they can't find the incentive against others? I'd be pretty annoyed if I was Welsh, I'd want a side with some consistency of effort.

Their record against the Southern Hemisphere teams is appalling.
You are right Loretta they will be better against us, which is similar to Saints against Tigers, too obsessed with the auld enemy and not focused enough elsewhere!
