I haven't seen that movie
I wouldn't recommend it, it's very depressing.
Might cheer @MiketheSnow up.

Boks never had to get out of 2nd gear.

@sparky I can see another 6 Nations wooden spoon incoming but then Italy went about 8 years in a row in that spot & weren't relegated so it'd be a bit harsh 😁

It's time for Netherlands to get a chance.

@sparky are there any decent ones with Welsh heritage?
I'd definitely take a couple of south African monsters if they had a Welsh granny.
We just don't produce physical specimens unfortunately. Test matches are becoming more & more physical and if you lose that contest it's game over. -

Am I the only one who is seeing Slobodan Milosevic at The Hague?
I didn't know the Hague allowed conjugal visits.

I wonder, has Wales seen a massive decrease in manual farm labour? Seems to be good background training for forwards.

Commiserations to @MiketheSnow and @pooler-fan and all others from across the river. That must have been a tough watch.
Apart from the score, the big minus point was that a Bok second team (ish) didn’t have to get out of second gear and were coasting after 20 minutes. The gulf between the teams was huge.
There were some plus points though. Some individual performances, Morgan and Botham. Dyer when he had the chance too. But the most promising bit for me was the heart with which Wales continued to play right up to the whistle. To me that shows they are still playing for Gatland.
