Hard to disagree with this. Rome 2nd up decides the wooden spoon I think.

Yeah, it's not a bad squad at all. I still think mid-table is the most we can hope for, but I'd settle for not getting the wooden spoon at this point.

Very true!

But the facts back me up. Longest ever losing streak. Players who don't win many games at club level. Only one 10 in the squad, and he's green. Very few ball carriers.

Then we have question marks about Gatland’s sell by date.

I want to be optimistic but can't be right now.

Sorry don't agree. He's left out Gallagher PREM top try scorer in Max, I know Anscombe is getting on but he is in form and Cam Winner has been outstanding for Cardiff all season.

No to mention Jarrid Evans for the quins

As much as it pains me to say this i think we are destined for another wooden spoon this year!we have some good players in the squad but we have lost so many great players i think it will be a few years before we see the wales we all love again.

Now Bomb is back in the setup, if he can get our scrum firing as it should be, then we might actually stand a chance of beating the Italians.

Winning is a habit we don’t have at the moment . None of the players are muppets , but confidence is a big part of winning and that is lacking at the moment . Coming away from Paris within 7 points having scored at least one good try and our season could be turned around … we could win in Italy and then all of a sudden we play at home with a bit of confidence- this is where Gatland will earn his money

I watched the press conference with Bomb yesterday and what a breath of fresh air he is. I bet he’s been a massive boost in camp for the boys.

Hopefully that will have an impact on the field

"Gatland has to walk away, doesn't matter that it's mid tournament it's just not working!"

That won’t achieve anything. I’ve said it before, but we’re reaping the results of years of lack of investment in the club game, and the abject failure of the regional set up. We sat on our laurels when we were winning slams and championships despite, not because of the system.

Time for a reality check and drop to 2 regions?

Completely agree with the above. Garland leaving achieves nothing. The player pool simply isn't there. Pace, power, physicality all light years behind.

You can't knock the heart and commitment yesterday, and Francis and Morgan were excellent, but the players simply are not good enough and there's little coming through that looks to change that.

There is promise coming through, we certainly see it at scarlets with macs pages, Eddie james, Blair Murray, Ellis mee. I went on Friday and I will continue to support wales but I think wales flattered france on Friday, there was no decisive play going forward and on the moments there was they went through wales.

Ben thomas isn't a 10 he has a boot but doesn't move the game like a general

Gatland hasn't moved with the game he's still trying to play the same game we were playing 15 yrs ago, he did a spell back in NZ when he left wales and it was so obvious there that he was way behind. Its a totally different game now, wouldn't say it's better!

All of those players are backs. We need some ball carrying tight 5 forwards.

It will cost welsh rugby alot of money to get rid of Gatland and thats why he wont walk away.

If we dont improve soon we could become a tier 2 nation and that would be awful for rugby in wales.

Welsh U20's have their first back-to-back wins over the Irish, happened last night. Sign of the times maybe. Dunno. Today was so galacticly different to the last (I don't know, maybe 12 months?) that maybe it is about a waiting game before Wales national rugby gets another purple patch .

U20's were excellent. Plenty of ups and downs to come, patience needed over the next few years. At least we saw a game of rugby today, if only that ball was grounded for disallowed try, so close, great effort..

Totally agree. I watched it live and struggled to determine what constitutes as 'a controlled grounding of the ball' when the replays showed his fingers clearly flexing and applying downward pressure to the ball beyond the scoring line.

But what do I know. I am just a partisan part-time rugby fan.

We gave the Irish a right proper scare today. That is a huge positive
