Whole management needs to go starting with Gatland

Its an absolute shambles and i do feel so sorry for the boys on the pitch.. but the reality is wales are a million miles away from where they were not that long ago.. defence is an absolute shambles at times and in attack wales just look so one dimensional.. after watching ireland against fiji some of the moves ire put together was brilliant.. its not just the players.. for me the coaching staff have got to be changed cos theres just nothing on show for me from wales on the pitch when in possession..

Best Welsh team going towards 6N. 1. N. Smith 2. D. Lake 3. T. Francis (cap rule) 4. T. Plumtree 5. D. Jenkins 6. A. Wainwright 7. J. Morgan 8. M. Morris 9. R. M- Williams 10. O. Williams 11. K. Giles 12. J. Hawkins (cap rule) 13. O. Watkins 14. M. Grady 15. L. Williams (cap rule) 16. E. Dee / S. parry 17. G. Thomas 18. S. Thomas 19. T. Williams / A. Beard 20. J. Botham 21. K. Hardy / T. Williams 22. S. Davies (cap rule) 23. J. Hathaway / T. Rogers Players I’d bring for experience or future prospects 1. K. Mathias 2. E. Lloyd 3. 3. D. Lewis 4. B. Carter / J. Fender 5. F. Thomas 6. A. Mann 7. H. S- Deaves 8. M. Morse 9. E. Bevan 10. D. Edwards / I. Lloyd 11. R. Grace / J. Adams 12. E. James / M Llewellyn 13. M. Page / L. Hennessey 14. O. Lane / T. Cabango 15. J. Beetham Hopefully Scrap 25 cap rule. Sack Defensive and attack coach. Or bring in new coaches all together. Probably T. Booth of Ospreys being the best option. Players who need to move on from the team - W. Rowlands no impact and more exciting players in his position. - S. Costelow, better form and just play time at scarlets. - C. Tshuinza needs to find his best position. Is he a 4,5,6, or 7? - G. Anscombe is he the future with his injury record and age? Love him as a player but maybe time to move on? - R. Dyer leave the dragons for a better club. Needs a win, plus probably better players in his position. - R. Elias fourth choice hooker needs dropping. - B Murray season or 2 for the scarlets. Too small atm, better as a fullback rather than winger. - C. Winnett great going forward, improve Defensive ability. - A. Griffin needs to play more at club level. Experience. - K. Assiratti Just not good enough for international rugby. - T. Reffell needs improvement with going forward, also too much competition for role. - R. Williams good player on his day. No Future for Wales though. - N. Tomkins Why in the team? - B. Thomas might be better as a 10 for Wales. Can’t defend physically however. Can’t play 12 for wales.

planet earth is too overpopulated and needs to stop breeding

do you support aninatalist ideology

Shane Lewis-Hughes big physical defensive player would’ve helped a lot, Jake Ball get him from Japan back in there could’ve done with him, Taine Basham attacking back row he would’ve helped. There’s a lot of overhyped jobs in there not going to mention them would be too brutal but I think if we use our brain we would see some in there who shouldn’t be in there

Mate!! I came away from this positive about Wales. Courage in abundance...& I loved that last try... Respect.

Really not sure where we go from here. I know a lot of people are commending the effort but that’s something I’d expect when you’ve taken a battering in div 4 east? Surely commitment is the minimum standard for professional players playing for their country. The boks looked like they were barely out of 1st gear and had another 3/4 levels to go to if they wanted. Feel like that Italy away game in the six nations is going to be a real pressure cooker. If we lose that and have another six nations whitewash

the riddance should begin with the WRU itself, it's whole entity tbh - they have been killing the game since the early 1980's mun. Still amateurs in the 'professional' game " druan arnom bois bach " Gatland is hampered by the W.. R FFycin U mun 🤬 forwards coach Humph - bring back Mc Bryde for a start

I thought Wales were in for a shellacking but wasn’t as bad as I thought. Please you aren’t on medication. I still think Gatland needs to go as he is out of ideas. Wales needs some easy games against Portugal and Uruguay to get their confidence back as they have some good youngsters. South Africa are monsters and are well ahead of the rest. NZL, France and Ireland are fighting it out and next tier back are Argentina, England, Scotland and Australia which will be the game of the weekend. Australia were in the same position as Wales but have recovered thanks to Joe Schmidt. That’s the level Wales should be aiming at. I feel the Fiji game was the one Wales needed to win for confidence. Good luck against Italy in the 6 nations

God bless wales it’s so sad to us play like this and we have the french away first game of 6 nations I think it’s the wooden spoon for us 😢

I was pleasantly surprised, I thought it would be a lot worse, 👍🏻to Costello whilst he was on , And again plenty of strong performances 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😘

English fan here and enjoying the content! The players never gave up and credit it to them for that but they were always going to struggle so the result isn’t necessarily that important. Welsh rugby needs a complete reset and although I love beating yous on a regular, the six nations and world rugby is better with a strong Welsh side so hopefully that reset can start and develop soon.

As a Bok supporter - tough game for the Welsh, but I so respect the effort they put in throughout the game. Top attitude. Your captain seems like a top bloke. A few years ago the Boks were really struggling and lost some shocking games. They built over time and are now in a great place. I get that Wales may not have the same depth. But they have the heart and the passion and the character to bounce back. And world rugby needs Wales to bounce back. Botham, Morgan and Lake deserve special credit from todays game. And credit to the Welsh supporters for sticking with their team throughout. All the best for the Six Nations, mate. I enjoy following your reviews and videos, so looking forward to whats to come! Thank you!

Welsh rugby is and has been in a perilous state for years now. - This guy, presenting the Welsh Sports Podcast is a real wierd boy. He presents the obvious biut without any positive or solutions to the Welsh problem (which is money) as an English man, I'm glad my sister ain't married to this odd ball, bet he's never played any kind of sport in his life - Advice for Welsh Rugby fans. - Go to Squidge rugby, 100 times better that this wierdo. There is also a NZ and brilliant South African guy who will give a more constructive video to you Welsh boys situation. This guy is just wierd. Good luck.

I think attack and defense coaches are deffo the ones who need to go. Howley in particular is doing an atrocious job-our only attack is jut kicking the ball high. And Ryan Elias needs to be banned from the national team

Gats needs to go. He has lost the dressing room

some solid performance from costelow before he went of, Botham and morgan but it was all individuals and we didn't function as a team at all wich after being together for over a month now would sort of expect from them.

I thought Wales played as well as could be expected for a team that was under enormous pressure. They showed some pride and limited the damage which is all that could be expected under the circumstances. Wales performance didn't make me sad, the fact the Bokke didn't play their best game also didn't make me sad. What did hit me hard is you not seeing any way forward and being resigned to the future being no better. If the Wallabies can pull themselves up after their devastating performance at the world cup and many months afterwards why can't Wales?

Lake missed 2 lineouts Elias 1. Thought you took notes

When your first try is scored by someone called Dai O'rhia, you know you're the shittest team.

Lake can’t carry this pack… huge fan of Archie. #Cymru #GoBokke ii feel like if you neutralise the Bok pack your in with a shout. No one has done it yet. Cool Funkos btw.

The anthem was one of the most rousing I’ve ever heard - the passion in the fans and the players is tangible, and I think it translated to a heroic effort on the pitch. This team’s time will come.

Thought Morgan & Botham were by far our best players today. The basic errors weren’t great (lost count of the number of line outs lost in their 22). Doesn’t seem to be a definite style of play, then again when you are struggling to get ball time not much you can do on the front foot. I’m not looking forward to the 6 nations, another wooden 🥄 looking likely currently

It's a young team that is under a trial of fire. What impressed me was that they never stopped fighting, even though they must have been knackered from all the tackling and monster scrums.

at least Gats looks how we feel, I don't think I could take some smiley faced up beat personality as coach with these scorelines

Most importantly, we need Howley to go. Then: My choice for a starting XXIII against France: 1. Smith 2. Lake 3. Henry Thomas 4. Jenkins 5. Thomas 6. Botham 7. Morgan 8. Wainwright 9. Tomos 10. Edwards 11. Grady 12. James 13. Page 14. Dyer 15. Rogers 16. Dee 17. Thomas 18. Griffin 19. Tshiunza 20. Fender 21. Reffell 22. Bevan 23. Llewellyn/Hathaway

I'll give Gatland the 6 Nations to turn it around. One thing he definitely needs to stop is kicking possession away constantly , I get it we don't want to be under pressure in our own half, but these top teams counterattack with ball in hand and we pay the price, we look half decent in attack but we need to keep the possession. Freddie Thomas looked good he's a big lad and weren't afraid to get stuck in. In regards to the 10 jersey Costellow just doesn't seem there yet. we need Jarrod Evans as our other option. My team for the 6 Nations 1 - G.Thomas 2 - D. Lake 3 - H.Thomas 4 - D.Jenkins 5 - F. Thomas 6 - J. Botham 7 - J. Morgan 8 - M.Morris 9 - R.Williams 10 - J. Evans 11 - R.Dyer 12 - K.Williams 13 - E.James. 14 - . B.Hathaway 15 - T. Rodgers Bulk them up. Whip them hard Shaun Edwards style. They seem to be going soft.

I don't feel as annoyed as I did v Aus and Im not sure why 😅

Jack and dewi just need to build a team around them quietly

Well you said my fear that we could lose by as much as 70 to 80 points creased you up , when you read it.Luckily the second half of the game became fragmented which suited Wales, and we end up with a "respectable" 45-12 loss, I would have taken that beforehand, Wales players to their credit never stopped trying ,and as you said South Africa never hit their game today . I understand the WRU AGM is coming up, but it will be like how politics is run these days, when their found out, statements are made that "lessons will be learnt", and then the circus goes on in the same manner, maybe with a token resignation to appease the public. Nobody is better at sticking there heads in the sand than the WRU !.

I understand the calls for Gatlands head but the issues run far deeper. Who’s to say another coach would get a tune out of them. Who would also want the job. Steve Tandy has been thrown around a bit. He’s done a good job overall with Scotland’s defence . But head coach material ? Nothing against him as a player but the Ospreys parted ways with him. If he got the Welsh job that would sum up Welsh rugby.

When he played , Thomas looked good . I would love to see him and Jenkins in the scrum this six nations if Jenkins is fit. Hathaway had some good moments. I think the lack of experience is stopping this team from being great. Eddie James was good aswell. Looking forward for the future

I’m one of wales biggest critic but we are where we are just need to get behind them I think turn a negative into a positive eventually I hope 👍 😢

The boys never gave up and showed fighting spirit till the end. We desperately need a new head coach and the sacking of Walker and Tierney

Surprisingly not as bad as expected today. (Some) of the boys fought really hard today. We could’ve totally capitulated after the 3rd try but the boys were alright. Man for man we were totally dominated and outclassed and that’s just where we are right now. This hasn’t given me any hope for the 6 Nations but today could’ve been ALOT worse. I think the Saffas were pretty poor for the second half which made us look better than we were. I dunno, man… it just feels so flat right now. One INSANE stat from today is that we MISSED 46 tackles. That basically half of the total tackles that SA made the entire game (93)

Proud of our effort 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Countries like New Zealand and South Africa children are made to play rugby and do as their told.Not the same in Wales.

We have dewi lake, jac morgan, daf jenkins and christ t that are potential world class players. everyone else isnt even close to international level. Most struggle at European level. Theres no talent coming through the ranks, go talk to some coaches. Ask them about the state of welsh rugby.

Good luck fella for tomorrow from a Scots/Welsh Kiwi. Get that secret weapon out of your van, I’m looking forward to your commentary after the match. Cymru

I played against Gavin several times through the International youth system. He was an incredible talent but sadly some choices he made hampered him reaching his full potential.

Elias continuing on the bench is just baffling to me, 40+ caps and still cant hit his jumper is unforgivable, Also Plumtree at 8 feels like Gatland has thrown in the towel, 1 meter from 9 carries vs Fiji, what impact is he gonna have vs SA 😅

If WRU fires gatland without a replacement coach ready, with all their money problems, i think it would be worse than if they would keep him until after 6 nations and search then

Back before regional rugby was introduced there was a pattern to following your team. Every Saturday, 2.30 kick off. If it was an away game and your good lady fancied her shopping in a different town, off you went. You went to watch the game, she shopped. The key was that 2.30. Saturday kick off. Regional rugby introduced Friday night games, Saturday evenings and Sunday games. That disrupted routines, not to mention the hugely increased entry fees. Also, some people couldn’t handle the ‘feeder club’ setup. How come Llanelli could be playing Llandovery when Llandovery were fielding Llanelli players? Neath disliked Swansea yet both had players in the Ospreys side. The same with Pontypridd and Cardiff, Ebbw Vale and Newport, etc. so crowds dwindled and regional rugby has never really been supported. Incidentally, one of your pictures in the opening minutes shows Neath v Ebbw Vale. I spotted Vale’s scrum half, Steve Lewis, (left), (I think he was WRU boss when Mike Ruddock left), wily flanker Phil Gardiner, (nicknamed the silver fox). Don’t remember the name of the guy on the right, possibly winger Ian Evans. Those were great days!

Great to see support for the players! Feel for costelow, 10 is the hardest position in Wales for criticism look at biggs and players before him, he deffo needs confidence to bring out his best like at u20s. Don't see anyone in that squad really staking a claim to the 10 Jersey so hope people get behind him. Would prefer to see Eddie James at 12 would make a difference, you need that size and speed at international level especially against the boks monsters in midfield. Modern game most of the top countries have a solid 12 who can make meters.

South Africa to win by thirty thirty five points and Gatland goes after the game even though it's not his fault.He is a intense New Zealander in a Welsh tomorrow will do rugby culture.

A week before every big game New Zealand and South Africa hand their smartphones in so they can't be distracted from the up coming game,whereas Welsh players are too busy playing games and joking and getting drunk.It all comes down to drink.Why can't they drink lemonade or coke.

There is no talent in Wales, especially at forward level.Like I said the juniors in South Africa play their rugby on concrete pitches.Prepares and hardens them to hard dirty rugby.

Winnett drops too many high balls, when he's under pressure, Dyer's work rate is good, but his positioning and defence is awful, Elias lost 4 out of his first 5 lineouts when he came on, ( He made a great impact for Australia) and the lineout we won was overthrown, Costello, sorry, but he simply isn't International level, Gatland ignored our most potent threat at outside-half, Jared Evans, so he left Cardiff for Harlequins, who can blame him, what a waste...
