So how many points stronger is this Welsh team?
Always tough against Wales...and that's a good team...
The backline looks good, but much weaker than what the B&I Lions put out earlier in the year- albeit the combinations may work better.
There's no such thing as a weak Wales team or a B team in Cardif.
The ABS smashed them last week, and it was certainly a B-team feel.
The Boks must be favourites, but having Jessica Kriel on the wing under the highball, and Jekyll and Hyde @fullback , what will the defence be like.
Juggernaut Boks? There isn't one game this year where the Boks haven't been bossed in the collisions. It's a question of if this Welsh side can punish the Book frailties and take their points when the opportunity arises. I don't think this Welsh side has it to beat this Bok side, inspite is its many weak spots.
Ah, the love for tales.
The international scene is rigged with players who have been playing either in their club squads or in their international squads and players who have it easy, resting.
Welsh players have been impacted by their match last week.
In the meantime, the SA rugby slackers will come to the game, fresh as a lemon.
SA rugby, because of the rigged scene, will win all their test matches.
Well we now have the answer…..33 points better. Wales lost by 38 points to the ABs last week and only by 5 points to the Boks. So assuming the Boks are the ABs equal, the Welsh team is 33 points better. Didn’t seem like it..what ever could be wrong with the logic?
So what a load of g arbage from Mozart as expected. There was near to zero comparisons between the team as a whole that played the AB's and the one ho played the Springboks. We have to deal with the team and not the 6 individuals Mozart claimed were in both tests.
The All Blacks can play rugby. They also seem to be coached. No question they are superior. We're looking more and more like that period under Snor where the players were coaching themselves.
