hate hearing all this stuff from comms about so much heart etc. wales came here to win series against not a great aussie side and have lost 3-0. poor imo
|

By:
Bottom line is Wales blew it. Again.
|

By:
It's difficult to win when the ref is so completely against you.
Australian forwards consistently lying on the ground ... usually the wrong side ... and never penalised ! |
|
By:
Nothing worse when your on Overs and within a converted Try and then you have to suffer watching the Wallabies run the clock down(or watching the clock getting eaten up with all those scrum resets all game) TallPaul

Can't blame the ref. Wales could and should have won regardless. Had the ball on the Aus 22 with 5 to play, gave away a soft pen, marched back 10 for lip, then gave away a really cheap penalty on their own 10m line when that was the one thing they couldn't afford to do.

yep stewards hook would have cantered over at the end there :( game was gone then

like i said, what is it with the french refs and wales, rolland and joubert
 |

By:
Wales slow to get going in the 1st test after half the squad arrived late.
should have won the 2nd test if only they had run the clock down as Australia did today. For me today was all about a biased ref. |
|
By:
at least 2 high tackles went unpenalised. am sure if we had made a high tackle he'd have give them a pen and us a yellow.
|
|
By:
It wasn't just the pens against Wales but the ones he didn't give against Australia.
constant lying on the ground sealing off which is what Wales were penalised for early in the game. |
|
By:
Despite all that, Wales had the opportunity to close it out and weren't able to so. Huge chance to get the monkey off their back and they blew it.
|
|
By:
I must admit the Wallabies were slowing the ball down all game making no attempt to move which went unnoticed(not by us, just Joubert)
|
|
By:
Wales need to find a decent captain to communicate with the ref. Right or wrong buttering up the ref has a huge influence on marginal calls.

Joubert is South African. Rolland is only half French ....... I've got more of a problem with Irish referees than French ones. |
|
By:
2 goes and still nets one.
Best side lost, but when it happens 3 times you have to ask why.. |

Wales should have won this series 2-1 instead they go home winless

No point in Wales being Six Nations winners when they can't represent the tournament creditably on the world stage. 3 matches and a whitewash against an average Australian team. Let's hope England get the Six Nations back next year and can restore some credibility to northern hemisphere rugby.
 |
|
By:
perhaps Scotland will win the 6N next year ....
|
|
By:
And if England do win the six-nations they will restore credibility by......... getting beaten time after time in SA?
Six-nations winners have been taking beatings down under for many years and at least Wales came close to winning. Not sure how many better chances the NH will get than that tour though, Wales certainly blew it big style. |

Wales played pretty averagely in this series and really only narrowley lost via some terrible reffing aided by Preistlands dire kicking.He really has to go,time to give Biggar a run out.
|
|
By:
Whats the obsession with Priestland? Gatland is usually fairly ruthless when it comes to axing players. Fair enough Priestland had a great WC but he was average before it and has been since. I don't think Biggar is the answer unless Wales want to copy the Saffer game plan.
|
|
By:
Who else to try then?
|
|
By:
Priestland had a good game today.

only one thing for it so, bring back the brave warrior Stephen Jones
