B Rubble Oct 2021 11:58am, 31 Oct 2021 2,908 posts	0 B Rubble Once AWJ went off I was worried Wales would not hold it together, and so it turned out as a 50 point drubbing. The defence was good enough most of the time until there was a breakdown (stalled attack, turnover, interception) and they lost at least 20 metres or the ABs scored. Same old story with Wales against NZ, the last 15 minutes are always heartbreaking. On some of the rare closer games I’ve seen it thrown away, Mike Phillips charged down box kick, missed opportunities, interceptions and lack of composure. I can’t see Wales winning this fixture in my lifetime, certainly not by putting up the B team against them.

Worked till late and didn't need anymore stress🤣 But from reports it seems we weren't as dire as previously. You lot know what I and every other blue black & white knows the problem is the coach/DOR whatever the title, until that changes I can't see us winning a game until we play Worcester or Irish and even then it would be a dogfight at the bottom.
