Six Nations 2025 Thread 🏉

It’s gone for a generation mate. Maybe forever. We had a group of freak world class players that were used by successive breathtakingly useless WRU gravy train blazers to fill their pockets, brag, and do nothing. I’d hoped with the misogyny row they’d be swept away and we could really get a decent executive team in there. Instead, the CEO is even more useless and was clearly appointed because she was a woman (a civil servant of no real note). Meanwhile they had forced out and alienated a really talented person (CEO of Aviva) that was basically giving her time voluntarily. It’s a mess from top to bottom. No plan, no strategy, no real player pathways, hopelessly underfunded professional structure below Team Wales for the last 15 years, an overpaid can’t afford to sack, part time dinosaur as head coach on a fat full time contract, supported by incompetent wankers like Howley and Hump. So no plan on the pitch either as we saw last night.

The only real hope is another freak group of players from nowhere. That has been the nature of Welsh rugby, feast and famine. The only constant has been the WRU is shit and hampers the game. There were probably only half a dozen at most international class players in that team last night, including has-beens. Some may grow, but constant hammerings won’t help.

It’s as bleak as I can remember, and I remember the 90s.

I should say, the WRU chairman, a bean counter from PWC is also totally hopeless. WRU ineptitude spans all colours, creeds, genders and preferences.

Super interesting btw. I’m not as tuned into this stuff that’s very helpful.

So what are we looking at today, lads? Italy by 15 points?

About right. Maybe by 20 especially after those 2 have pulled out

 

[Swanjaxs]

These conditions could suit us.

 

[CygnusX1]

It’s not going to be a classic, is it?

 

[Skippyjack]

How many errors in 20 minutes

 

[Swanjaxs]

As poor a Welsh side in my lifetime this

 

[Ringwood]

We are a clusterfuck of errors every game

Is there any point of playing wingers?

 

[Manselton Jack]

Boring game & Wales being outplayed again

 

[Pegojack]

This is painful to watch.

 

[Ringwood]

Italy v Ben Thomas aimless kicking
