I know these kind of games can be scrappy but Wales v Georgia at the moment has to be one of the worst international games I've ever watched, there is a big pool of talent on the pitch but no idea how to play as a team.

Probably because they aren't exactly an established team.

The game was never going to be a spectacular team performance but a chance to blood some of the newbies.

But the lack of ambition was disappointing, at 18_0 and 78 minutes on the clock they chose the box kick twice in succession! This is where the likes of NZ would close off games by running I tried until the last minute.

All in all very disappointed with the performance

Really really disappointing

A couple of good newbie performances by Johnny Williams and James Botham

With the utmost of respect, thank fuck we played Georgia

England would have put 50 on us today

Some tough calls ahead of next weekend, especially with Tips looking to not feature now

I thought Botham didn’t quite live up to his hype - he was certainly ‘leggy’ in the latter stages. Williams was a plus, and good to see Wainwright hit some form - we need him fit.

Wainwright's too light at 8

We have too many good blindsides and with Faletau off form we're struggling at 8

Lewis Hughes 6, Botham 7 and Faletau at 8 next week probably

Unless Navidi is back fit (prays) then he walks straight in at 8 for me

How many of yesterday's players start against England?

For me

Zammit in instead of North

Wyn Jones

Wainwright.

There is a long injury list so anything can happen!

The props gotta start as we need props who can scrummage. Jake Ball also start. Thought Toby was one of our best players against Ireland.

We got no chance of beating England unless we match the ferociousity in the forwards.

Navidi is a pleasure to watch. His work off the ball is incredible

Agree if Navidi fit he starts but I’d play him, Wainwright and Falatau. Lewis-Hughes and Botham look a good step below international class at the moment. We need some grunt against the Saes pack.

Wainwright is the same weight as Navidi, 105kg. He looked good with ball in hand. We need people who are willing to take the ball forward. Botham is not ready to play international rugby. He looked out if it at times. May as well move the england game to Sofia gardens, at least the score board will be able to cope.

I think Lewis Hughes offers something the others don't

Who knows how Pivac will go with his selection though as he has been so erratic so far and will obviously be absolutely desperate to be not made to look even more shite than he has so far

So yea I guess he may well revert back to the usual old faces to try and save a bit of face against England

Definitely wouldn't have James Davies in this team. We need grunt. Toby gotta start as I think he was looking a lot better against Ireland in a beaten pack. Hopefully he'll return to the form of late

Agree, he’s skilful, and very good in a scrum going backwards, as will likely happen.

With the utmost respect Cubby doesn't cut it at international level, especially not against the likes of England

And in better news, its looking good for Tips having passed his return to play protocols so far

And Navidi is back in full training

We are not going to toe to toe with them in the physicality sense. Do a japan and play with speed. If we try and match them the beat we can hope for is a 20 point loss

Will never forget his performance against the All blacks at the 1999 World cup just ripped the script apart!

Great player!
