@MiketheSnow said in 2016 End-of-year internationals:

Welsh team named for Saturday's match against South Africa

Warburton a last minute injury. Thankfully. Otherwise Tipuric would have missed out again.

Wales XV:
Halfpenny; North, J Davies, S Williams, Liam Williams; Biggar, G Davies; Jenkins (capt), Owens, Francis, Charteris, Wyn Jones, Lydiate, Moriarty, Tipuric

Replacements:
Baldwin, Smith, Lee, Hill, Faletau, Lloyd Williams, S Davies, Roberts

Hopefully we'll see a backrow of Moriarty, Tipuric and Faletau at some stage.

And Sam Davies to get more than 10 mins.

Christ knows how the result will go.

@MiketheSnow Mike, re Tipuric. you're just rubbing in your embarrassment of riches. For sure I think Tipuric is a better out and out 7 than Warburton but sheesh. They're both pretty good so stop showing off.

I'm more interested to hear your view on the Halfpenny/Williams issue. I'd have the positions reversed TBH. I think Williams offers more of an attacking threat from full back than he does from wing and also more than Halfpenny does from full back.

Would definitely have Williams at 15, Halfpenny at 14 and North at 11.

Don't understand why North has become a right wing.

I think our best balanced backrow is Moriarty, Tipuric and Faletau

... and none of them seem to work ...

[mimic]

About time Samoa got a W.. good to see D'Angelo score 20 points off the boot.. still not happy we almost lost to the Canadians

[Stargazer]

Final score: SAMOA 25 - 23 CANADA

[African Monkey]

@mimic It could be a long few years for Samoa. Time to start blooding more new players and getting rid of the old men in the side.

[ACT Crusader]

Wow a terrible fall for Argies no8 Senatore

Red card for Daly

[Stargazer]

@ACT-Crusader Yeah, and that all in the 5th minute.

[Derm McCrum]

I was betting that there were would be red cards this weekend in matches on dangerous tackles given the WR edict to refs. Two last night in PRO12 matches and now one against England. I suspect it won't be the last one with Aus/Irl and Wal/SA likely to be testy matches.

[Stargazer]

Haha, and the commentator starts whinging, conveniently ignoring that the England player landed on his feet! That's never a card.

Barnes said that the player landed on his feet.

[Stargazer]

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Argies giving away too many penalties and now also a penalty try and YC. England leads 16-0 after 30 minutes.

Agreed. You'd never know England have only 14 players on the pitch.

[Stargazer]

Argies back to 15 players, and now England lose another to the bin with yellow. Argies should really score now.

[Derm McCrum]

Argentina turning it on at scrum time and winning the battle. They get Cole yellow carded under England's posts.

No penalty try given as they go for fourth scrum in a row.
