If you were picking a Lions squad based on the first 3 games of the Ais.

by majesticimperialman Sat 10 Nov 2012, 7:28 pm

NO WALES players would make the squad based on their performance today..

2 places that would be closely contested is 10==15.

At the moment the 10 shirt is between Flood and Sexton.

At the moment the 15 shirt is between Goode, Zebo,Brown(Mike) that is.

Discuss.

Last week I said only 2 or 3 welsh players should be in the Lions squad. I was wrong its only 1 or 2.

by majesticimperialman Sat 10 Nov 2012, 7:36 pm

Having not seen the game yet and only going on the post on here.

Wales would not have any.

by Pot Hale Sat 10 Nov 2012, 7:37 pm

After today's result so far, looks like it should only be England players on the plane.

Maybe Scotland might add to the mix tomorrow.

by anotherworldofpain Sat 10 Nov 2012, 7:38 pm

Cian Healy has to be in the team, he's a turn over machine. He impressed me again today before his unfortunate concussion. I'd also be sure to put 1/2p in the touring squad and leave ROG at home writing out 1000 times "I must not chip the ball away in game winning positions."

I haven't seen the ENG game yet, but I'm not sure what you gain from a route over Fiji other than a feel good factor and a few denaries for the RFU coffers.

by majesticimperialman Sat 10 Nov 2012, 7:49 pm

awop.

I said it last week Argentina was coming into this game/Ais on the back of the 4ns Having just played the top three team in the IRB world rankins.

Yes they may not of won thye 4sn. But atleast they are battled hardened which is more than Wales are where?..

Wales need to stop with the excuse making. Every time they lose it's because they're tired or rusty, or it's blamed on selection issues as though there were 15 guys hidden somewhere who would've won the game. This ostrich approach to loss is preventing the team from moving forward. They need to accept a better team won on the day and look at the reasons and try to improve. Being in denial doesn't help alcoholics, and it doesn't help a losing team to win.

by Guest Sat 10 Nov 2012, 8:05 pm

Hindsight is always 20/20.

And in hindsight, perhaps Howley SHOULD have picked players who are on form, rather than those who are not.

Excuses over.

Lee Byrne and Stephen Jones are currently the best 10 and 15 in Wales.

Morg,

Is that aimed at me?

I have never hidden the fact that I don't think Howley is up to it at this level of coaching. His selection policy is shocking and he seems reluctant or not have the minerals to make the big calls or drag players off when they are clearly not performing.

He came out after the game and slated the players well why didn't he have guts to admit he got thingsd wrong as well.

I honestly fear we will lose all four AI because if we play like that again the we will and we will be no better than 5th come the 6 Nations if Howley continues in his position.

What was the reason that your team did not win today?

Why as it took you so long to come on today and comment on the game?

Are you ashamed of Wales Morgannwg?

Or is it because i have made a comment about Wales that you cold not help your self, you had to say something?

Looking forward to hear what you have to say Morgannwg.

i have no doubt Wales will Improve over the Next few weeks.

And if you cant celebrate putting 50+ points on any team , when can you ?

by Morgannwg Sat 10 Nov 2012, 9:34 pm

Enjoy your moment. A is big score is always enjoyable. I can't really comment as I haven't watched the game. The scoreline suggests to me that a fairly young England side were well drilled and good at finishing.

It HAS (take note) maybe taken him so long, as most adult men tend to not prioritise rushing straight onto a forum after a game. Obviously this might be a culture shock to you, but most people would rather have a beer with their mates (I guess there's the problem) on international day and not sit on the laptop like you.

maj, I've noticed you've commented elsewhere this morning;

majesticimperialman wrote:I wrote on another thread that i watched the game this morning for the first time.

Wales gave me the idea that they was usuing this game has a training run, it was not a serious game. Wales was just going through their routine and saving them selves for the Autralia and New Zealands game.

Argetina on the other hand they came here today to play a game of rugby and to win a game of rugby. and win they did.

How do you implicate that no Wales players would make the Lions based on our performance when you hadn't watched the game?
Doh

Second point wrong. It's back-row and the back three that are still the mostly contested positions.

Third point regurgitated through reading other people's comments on this forum.

Last point wrong. Goode and Zebo are nowhere near laughing

. It'll be Foden, Brown, Kearny and Halfpenny. Maybe even Hogg. Hence the back 3 being one of most hotly contested areas.

All of this proves that I'm right in saying you haven't a clue and don't watch rugby but simply regurgitate what other's say on this forum Laugh

by majesticimperialman Sun 11 Nov 2012, 4:06 pm

Morgannwg

How can you say the Kerney will be in contention when he has not played since he got injured?

The same can be said for Foden has he has not played any rubgy because he is injured.

You cannot keep picking players for the Lions who have not played any rugby because they are injured.

Secondly before Halfpenny could even beconsidered for the Lio0ns he has too learn to stand up first and not keep falling over every time he gets the ball.

And has Hogg is playing now and had not played (YESTERDAY) when i posterd my thread then you cannot include him can you.

Just because your beloved Wales got beat yesterday. you have to have a go just too relieve the burden of pressure that you must feel under having stated that Wales would be Argentina easy. Crying or Very sad

by **LondonTiger** Sun 11 Nov 2012, 4:12 pm

Madge,

Picking a team based on one day's matches was never going to lead to constructive debate. Instead it just looked as if you were gloating at the poor performance of Wales.

by majesticimperialman Sun 11 Nov 2012, 4:21 pm

LT yes i see what you mean.

To be honest i was a bit fed up with a lot of posters saying that Wakles would make up most of the Lions squad.

An with looking at that game that was played Yesterday, but did not get watched by myself untill today....based on that game not many would make it if any at all. Especialy ( SAM WARBURTON )Who keeps getting touted has Captain of the Lions.

Another bizarre summary and none of my questions answered, you just don't know when to quit do you.

Well I'm basing their candidatary on the fact that they are class. This comes from years of watching rugby mind you, live rugby seems to be something you're bereft of. And also bare in mind that the Lions tour isn't until the summer. Poor dig at Halfpenny as he was always going to be a tourist, depsite yesterdays game but he will need to keep playing well to ensure he is on the plane. Hogg was always there-abouts too and today he didn't harm his chances. We're talking about the Lions 15 jersey contenders so how is what I say incorrect?

Finally, your spelling and grammar are atrocious. No fan stated Wales would beat Argentina easily, sums you up doesn't it that you have to use complete and utter bulls//t to try and sound clever or sound like a good wum. Wumming isn't your area and neither is rugby. Nice to see you don't disagree that I'm spot on about you though Smile

. And how could you disagree? Time for you to retire Laugh

Jeez don't cry about it...

Again how did you come to this conclusion before watching the game? I still don't reckon you've watched it. Is that the same Sam that we keep saying is off form and shouldn't start, hence shouldn't be Wales captain? I thought you would have regurgitated that by now.

I came to the conclusion before watching the game by the reaction of Welsh posters on these threads.

And yes i did watch the game this morning, and i still think or rather the inpression i got was that Wales did not take Argentina seriously enough to put up a good enough fight.

Right... So what are disagreeing on exactly? Because this thread is a total waste of cyber space and I've pointed out it's flaws which kind of makes the whole thing pointless. I can't see what I've disagreed with other than to point out these facts.

by HERSH Sun 11 Nov 2012, 7:08 pm

I'd take North and Cuthbert those two can hold the tackle bags in training, Warburton has to go as his the Welsh captain he can bring the kicking tee on, Roberts can also go as he can help the team Dr.

As for the rest hmmm?
