Actually Scotty I am just being truthful as I saw it.
The breakdown was the same as last week and the Welsh really haven't shown anything in that area in the last two years against the Wallabies. Yes they did well at this phase.
The lineout. The Wallabies did well yes, and perhaps some of the Welsh shiteness here can be attributed to the pressure from Sharpe, Higgers and Simmons, but then again it seemed to me that the interaction between Rees and the pack was very off tonight and not much better last week.
The forwards running onto the ball. Really?
The best part of their play was the execution by Barnes, that you haven't cited. He passed well, ran on occassion and his kicks from hand we excellent, to a degree that we haven't seen from him for at least 3 years.
Areas for improvement -
Scrums. Here I will disagree. As I posted the lottery continues. How many of the penalties and resets are on the hit and are a pure guess by the ref.? I thought the scrum was very good in the first half and OK in the second, though it became hesitant when Moore came on and he was spoken to about going early. Again it is a pure lottery, how do you coach for that or make improvements. Buy more tickets?
Creating more in the backs. - Again I think they lacked imagination in the first half apart from Barnes run when the rush defense left him a nice hole. In the second 40 the plan was obviously more of the same and that was kick in behind and force their lineout, which considering how crap it was is a very good tactic. So I have no issue there, if the tactic was to create I don't know that Barnes would be selected at 10. What I do have issue with is the slowing down of the ball at the ruck. I hate it as much as I hate the Saffas new extended rucks move, especially when we get that static ball for three or four phases one after the other.
