it was awful I agree that more welsh lads should be playing, too english and too old as one of the papers said, but I have to say on that peformance, we dont have the players to beat them. (stu / coconut you called it and you are right I let my passion get in the way of my subjectivity, whichj i usually do to be fair!).
that was a mauling, if it had been dry we would have lost by 40.
it was as abject a performance as Ive ever seen from a lions side.
Its not even like they sticked to the gameplan, if anyone can explain to me why when we blatently picked a kicking side, we started running tap penalities and cross field kicks when points were on offer and in that weather? use your effin brain lads.
Leaderless, under cooked and f*cking woeful.
guess i was always hoping against hopes but the bottom line is we simply arent good eoough to live with them. You can blame woodward as much as you like but if the players underperform as badly as they did on Sat it doesnt make any difference how you coach em.
of course he has made mistakes but the players have to take some responsiblity that was not acceptable as professional sportsmen. If i performined as bad as that in my job id be sacked.
was a disgrace,
new team selection for next test
1. Sheriden
2. Thompson
3 Jenkins
4. O connell
5. owen or corry

11. thomas
12. henson
13 Lewsey (best / only strike runner we need to get the ball to him)
14. S williams

we will still get stuffed but we might actually play some rugby.
saturday was tragic.
but i gotta say well done to the all blacks, they were so good it was scary. in every facet of the game. Apart from the fact, they out run, out jumped, out skilled, outtackled, out kicked, out everything'd us, it was a close
sadly after saturdays drubibng all my optimism has waned
