He's been playing left/right apparently so spends half his time at openside ? Not sure though, only going by reports. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Wouldn't disagree with any of that really. I get the feeling with Wales that the side could really do with freshening up a little with some new faces. As you mentioned some players are definitely getting selected on past reputation - love Lydiate as a player but moving to France has been a huge...

Think Scott has played 13 quite a bit for the Scarlets, looking forward to seeing how he goes, been in great form recently. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

The reference to "wendyball" was just to show that in whatever professional sport you choose to follow the punishment never seems to fit the crime. Ironically when rugby was an amateur sport the bans were far longer for lesser crimes. I remember Wales lock Kevin Moseley getting sent off against...

I agree with you in many ways, it's a bit draconian though and would never happen in professional sport. Many people thought much the same when that moronic twat Roy Keane ended Alfie Haaland's football career. It's a very fine line to tread. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Can't remember that to be honest, but is there a player out there who hasn't done something dull in their career. Glad to hear Ronan is back playing anyway. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Big loss for Wales as we don't have too many options at lock. If Luke Charteris picks up a knock we'll really be in the you know what. :) Scarlets lock (and Aussie born) Jake Ball called into squad to train as cover, he's been playing well this season to be fair to him - big old lump who puts...

Was kinda hoping Warburton may miss out, would love Tipuric to have a run at seven. Attacking wise Wales are far more potent a threat with him playing, sure you lose a little defensively at the breakdown but the pluses outweigh the minuses for me. Although if both are fit maybe playing them both...

I'm not so sure how Wales will go to be honest. As has been mentioned the French based players aren't performing too well - Lydiate looks totally shot. Gatland also has to come unstuck at some point with "Gatland ball", he won't play a wider game even when he has players like Tipuric in supreme...

Fair comments, but they also have seen in depth stuff on the pitch that any of us wouldn't have a hope of seeing on tv or "live". It works both ways. Wouldn't you hold Richie McCaw or Pocock's view on their toughest opponent in higher regard than an armchair warrior who only watches games on tv...

I wouldn't personally have Warburton there either (I'd have Tipuric at 7 for Wales every time), but him being voted there by fellow players means more than any of our opinions. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Gatland's inability to change tactically or personal wise is his biggest flaw. There are some players who are virtually un-droppable - he loves Phillips, Lydiate & Warburton to name 3. Lydiate is a prime example of why moving to France isn't always a good idea - big money but get flogged to...

Totally, no composure at all. Trying that stupid 12 man lineout too when we'd bollocked up nearly every other lineout. Selection too, Samson Lee screwed his opponent in his first scrum and we drove Aus back. How can you pick a starting tighthead who's 5th choice for his region in a big game like...

Well done Australia - thoroughly deserved victory. There's been a few games over the last few seasons where I felt we shaded the game and deserved the win, but it would've be a travesty if we'd managed a score at the end and win that. Some of the interplay between the likes of Genia, Cooper...

Wales need to find touch 2nd half, kicking loose ball to Folau is suicidal Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

It's only Phillips starting things to be fair. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Wonderful game for the neutral to watch very entertaining Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

How haven't Aus scored in the last few minutes ? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Wales should've punted that 50 metres, well taken tho Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Not a bad team selection by Wales, glad to see Cuthbert is fit although I'd have thought Aus will target his lack of match fitness (as well as his naivety in defence). Don't think Lydiate is in great form at the moment and I'd have gone with Tipuric & moved Warburton to 6. Without Adam Jones...
