2024 Six Nations Chat

[RunTigerRun]

I’d like to see the following changes for Wales:

Steward
Freeman
Slade
Dingwall
Feyi-Waboso
Ford
Mitchell
Earl
Pearson
Roots
Chessum
Itoje
Cole
George
Genge (Marler of Genge not fit)

Dan
Marler/Obano
Heyes
Coles
Cunningham-South
Spencer
Smith
Furbank

Nice balance there with some exciting options with power, pace and innovation on the bench.

Agree with the bench. I’d have Roebuck on the left wing and backrow of:

6. Roots
7. Earl
8. Dombrandt / Barbeary

I’ll be honest I forgot Roebuck was in the squad - I’d be happy with him or IFW.

Dombrandt puzzles me. He’s an intelligent rugby player whose lines and attitude are fantastic. I just don’t think he has the bulk - but I’d be happy to be proved wrong. I like Pearson and would love for him to have a shot - but the balance of the backrow has to be right. Maybe that’s why you could slot in Dombrandt. Tough one imo

This year is a nothing year, why doesnt SB have a major clear out of the old timers, give the youngsters a chance, I would have a look at as many youngsters as possible, people like Daly et al are not internationals anymore, good club men but there are so many younger players who need a chance, come on SB it does not matter if we finish 5th experiment more whilst you have the chance. Rugby needs excitement.

Did Dingwell do anything? Carried for 3 metres and missed 5 tackles.

Some good ,some dross. Same old same old

Not so sure about "same old, same old." Some promise from the newbies and, dare I say it, the Saints' backs.

A new side, well shuffled by injury and availability, won (Don't forget that bit) against a side regularly practicing together.

Not a bad day at the office.....except for Daly.

England’s desire to attack was a lot better and if they had been more clinical in the red zone it would have been a 15-20 point win.

Dombrant does nothing for me, todays finishing backrow of Roots, Earl and CCS should be our starters.

Not aimed at you but does a brand new coach/es only count when it's England and Leicester? Italy had one today

[Leicestertinytiger]

Ben White has become a classy 9.

[mol2]

Daly should be gone here....

But he’s George’s best mate.

Dingwell got picked because of injuries.

No,that's why I said not aimed at you. But if we can use the injuries and new players you can use the new coach excuse for Italy and at times they looked more well drilled than us. Seems some England and Leicester fans at times always have excuses ,that was my point. Not aimed at you in particular
