November 16, 2014 at 9:45 am #16219Scotland played pretty well… we got far too much slow ball at the breakdown, a fair bit of the time Perenara needed a bloody shovel to dig the ball out, disappointed our forwards didn’t clean out & blow past the ball enough, after 13 changes though the team was always going to struggle continuity wise.

Brit compare, Ali Williams, Jeremey Guscott and some welsh git from the past (think it was Barry Johns or similar) End of the game all but Ali are very sudbued so lead compare asks Welsh Git who his Man of the Match is. “Oh boyo nooo doubt about it, Jamie Roberts!” A little later with a mild form of derision lead compare asks same question – same result. By this stage me and my brother are fair cracking up. Yes asked a third time and same answer and this time he has the joy of having the same man present to the camera to receive his “reward”. duly embarrassed and all boyo!!
Once the AB’s took the ref out of the game they had it.
November 23, 2014 at 2:08 pm #16286Yeah, Roberts getting M.O.T.M. was a total joke, thought Piutau was a top contender for it.
We were always going to be up against it with Barnes as ref, so it proved again, unbelievable how many times he let Wales get away with playing the ball on the deck, eventually they tired in the last 20 minutes & with the depth we have on the bench ABs won comfortably.
SBW’s limitations as a 2nd-five were shown up yet again, if they’re going to persist with having him in the squad should bring him on in the last quarter of the match or so off the bench.
Congrats to Retallick for picking up IRB Player Of The Year, well deserved.
