2nd worst performance ever article...
Wales weren't happy with their shocking performance vs Argentina and have showed the viewing public they can go even lower.
The list of shocking failures is rather long...
Intensity: NONE. Players didn't want it, no pace no speed no urgency. Nobody rushing at the breakdown. Slow to get to ball.
Back play: No speed, no intelligence, no running straight, only TWO offloads BOTH from Ashley Beck. No drawing the man. No creating overlap. Just kicked it away.
Aggression: None! Welsh defence was slow and just waiting for Samoa to attack them
Mike Phillips: Has had his day, the odd genius match but overall he is slow, indecisive and lethargic
Faletau: Ineffective
Rhys Priestland: Has been terrible since the world cup. Completely clueless. Get rid of him and give Hook what he deserves.
Aaron Jarvis: WTF?????
Lineout: Worst it's been for years.
Scrum: Diabolical
The Australia tour has mentally crippled the squad after 3 narrow defeats which they should of won.
Changing the starting lineup won't fix anything. The players are slow, not aggressive, devoid of enterprise and scared to try anything. The mindset since the grandslam is alien compared to now.
The whole squad mentality needs to be refreshed and Gatland needs to build a new coaching team. I don't know what to say about Edwards but as backs coach, Howley needs to go.

+ 1 The squad is dire at the moment. Something is seriously wrong and heads must roll.
