It looks like he might be too hot to wear it. Poor lads sweating a bit out there.

Oh good, Liam Williams - he is in my fantasy team.

by TightHEAD Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:04 pm

His come on in leaps and bounds since he moved to Sarries.

24C and 74% humidity at present. Cannot see if the roof has been shut - which coudl actually make it worse.

Pardon?

He has, matured him and made him a better player.

Apparently the roofs been broken for years

He has most definitely improved at Sarries, but he was pretty damned good when he joined them.

Whatever..! He’s been injured or out of position most of the time.

Why the bitterness and abrupt comments?

seems like you are gunning for me Mae?

by Irish Londoner Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:08 pm

So about Georgia joining the six nations....?

I only found out because there was an article about it the other day when the rain was forecast. Obviously as Georgia are famed for their world class scrum. The journalist was noting that with rain and obvious increased likelihood of knocking the ball forward that the match could be a scrum-fest that Georgia would win.

Lol good one, I think they might have to wait a bit longer, but then again are they any worse than Italy?

Per the radio commentary the stadium owners can't afford to get it fixed.

by TightHEAD Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:11 pm

Can't wait for them to move to the shoe free room on ITV. Very Happy

Yes that’s correct. I read that too.

Is Anscombe from the posh part of Cardiff?

by TightHEAD Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:19 pm

Good solid performance from Wales as expected.

Georgia, dreadful just dreadful. was expecting a little bit more from them in the forwards to be honest.

We have switched off TightHERSH and BamBam until the game is over so the welsh can enjoy the game in peace

MikeyD no need to interact

Most of your comments are posted with the intent of antagonising, and both the mods in here have said something. If I were you I'd just listen.

by BamBam Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:21 pm

Oh the irony

by TightHEAD Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:22 pm

Thats better.

by TightHEAD Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:23 pm

Think thats a try to be fair.

by TightHEAD Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:24 pm

Thats what I was expecting from Georgia, 1 for the forwards.

by mikey_dragon Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:24 pm

What was the previous penalty for, it seems Wales legally stopped it.

by Soul Requiem Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:25 pm

Williams has improved a lot since the Lions tour where he was shall we say pretty poor under the high ball but always a threat with ball in hand, he's now become the most complete full back in the NH for me.

by **RiscaGame** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:27 pm

I would say Williams has improved, now he is playing for Wales in his favoured position.

by **RiscaGame** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:28 pm

Be interesting to see how our scrum goes, now Lewis is on.

by **RiscaGame** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:29 pm

Penalty try that. Hard to see how that's stopping before the line, without the illegal pull down.

by **RiscaGame** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:30 pm

There are defenders around, they're not engaged into the maul.

by mikey_dragon Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:37 pm

Very poor passages of play from Wales. AWJ and North don't look like they're trying.

And this contributes to the thread how? Not amusing and seems intended only to WUM. Take this as a final warning.

I’d be happy to get the subs on quick smart

by mikey_dragon Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:43 pm

Is the TMO going to call that challenge then?

by **LondonTiger** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:44 pm

That looks like a clear block on Liam Williams. Not sure it comes under the remit of what the TMO can call back though, as Williams never managed to get in the air. Bad miss by on pitch officials though.

by maestegmafia Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:47 pm

It’s all a bit scrappy now. I guess a conscious effort to avoid injury but the goal is achieved a BP win

by maestegmafia Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:48 pm

Jake Balls has his tusks trimmed

by **RiscaGame** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:48 pm

Don't need to show anything else. Just need to move the Georgians around now and then we should score a couple more in the last 15.

It was a really strong first 20 - after that similarish to England v Tonga to be honest.

by **LondonTiger** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:50 pm

Replacement SH for Georgia looks lively

Yeah great work at the line out there.

Wales have emptied the bench now.. except for Patchell

by **LondonTiger** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:51 pm

Georgia coudl develop into a decent side, but need competition with the better teams more often.

It’s still the first game there’s still a lot of rugby ahead in this tournament

Exactly they would benefit from playing on the six Nations Championship

by maestegmafia Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:54 pm

Lovely chip by North

by **LondonTiger** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:54 pm

I love how excited front rows get when they win a scrum penalty. The Georgian TH did drive in and a clear penalty, which was stupid as the Welsh LH was already buckling.

by **LondonTiger** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:55 pm

Tomos Williams did look in front of the kicker there.

The size on that Georgian tighthead 18 he is huge

Not as big as Tameifina yesterday. That boy is huge (and fat)

by **LondonTiger** Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:59 pm

Great dart from the replacement SH. Some good offloads and a well worked try.
