Hi Christian, Mason Grady not quite there yet, just needs a bit of time he will be a good 13 . Autumn internationals , I think a close win with Australia, Fiji a possible win by a mater of few points, they will want to get a win over us after the world cup game. South Africa is a no, they are not the team they were in the 2010's, neither are we. Catch you soon take care
Yeh agree with everything you said mate. I really think Grady is going to be a quality player. Just needs time. Still very young and raw but he had all the minerals
Probably made as good a start as could have been expected. Tougher tests to come for Cardiff but both them and Ospreys showed great character to come back from where they were in those games. Just shows how important a quality and calm 10 is in those situations 👀
@TheWelshSportsPodcast Sheedy and Edwards are 2 massive upgrades at 10 compared to Costellow and Lloyd, even though i think Costellow has potential to be a great 10. Just dread to think what Gatland is gonna pick 😂
Yeah Costellow seams like he’s regressing to be honest. All his confidence has evaporated when he’s kicking off the tee. I really hope he can turn it around because like you said I think he could be decent
Got a few project on the go but it’s in the pipeline mate. I think that will be a big one so might take me a while 😂 Any particular moments that sick your memory bar the WC exit obvs
Wales greatest problem is the pack They lack quality ball carriers and the props are not international class [consistently] The locks are also fairly sparse with only B.Carter coming through All the talk about the backline is pointless unless Wales can compete in the forwards and that is currently very hit and miss My Wales 1st XV+ Subs 1] A.HEPBURN 2] D.LAKE 3] H.THOMAS 4] D.JENKINS 5] W.ROWLANS 6] J.MORGON 7] T.REFELL 8] M.MARTIN 9] T.WILLIAMS 10] G.ANSCOMBE 11] R.DYER 12] E.JAMES/M.LLEWELYN 13] M.GRADY 14] K.GILES 15] C.WINNETT. - 16] E.DEE 17] N.SMITH 18] S.WAINWRIGHT 19] C.TSHIUNZA 20] A.WAINWRIGHT 21] E.BEVEN 22[ C.SHEEDY 23] I LLOYD
I agree with you about the props. Tight head in particular is a real position where we are thin but I am hopeful that Archie Griffin can be a real player. Second row we have a bit more depth, Carter and Teddy Williams being the young guys coming through and then more experiences players like Rowlands, Jenkins, beard and Tshiunza As you say we are missing a destructive carrier but hopefully Morgan coming back can improve that and that might also force Reffell to the bench maybe to get another big boy in at 6. Not sure Hepburn is Scottish/English by the way
@@TheWelshSportsPodcast I HAVE JUST CHECKED AND IT APPEARS A.HEPBURN IS NOW SCOTTISH MY BAD As he played in this years 6Ns as a substitute against Wales Sorry got the teams wrong waY ROUND LOL So ill replace him with G.THOMAS and start N.Smith
Me and Andrew discuss what we think is going on with Wales rugby. Taken from a full lenth podcast -

Wales need to win blooody ball before we worry about centres!
Agreed our set piece has need shaky but we’ve had plenty of possession in both 6 nations and summer test, just didn’t really create anything with it
Perhaps Wales should play combinations that work at regional level like the ospreys 10 12 13 or Thomas and grady at 12 and 13
Couldn’t agree more tbh. Especially at centre I think that would be very beneficial
I think the half back partnership debate was sealed last night at Bris vs Glos. Tomos & Gareth.
Totally agree Gareth. Fingers crossed for Anscombe’s fitness to keep up 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good chat guys. Have you been impressed by the start the regions have made so far?

Grady just don't seem to cut it, don't know why 😒.
I think he just needs a run of games at 13 and we’ll soon see what he’s capable of
