Yeah i know why he's there, more pointing out the fact that i think he's dire. Giteau is a far better 5/8 than Hux

Perm · 29-09-2007, 08:06 AM

Aussie's looking rubbish TBH.

Johnners · 29-09-2007, 08:11 AM

A result of very unorganised backline imo, the fowards are doing all the right things, but as soon as it goes past 1st receiver it all breaks down.

EDIT: ffs Hux, i blame him for this dire performance.

..was expecting a better game than this,tbh..

Johnners · 29-09-2007, 08:28 AM

The rain isn't helping, but i entirely agree with you.

EDIT: Bloody hell that was a shocking game. Our forwards were ok, but Cordingley & Huxley were shocking. Tuqiri & Coops played well all game imo, and Mitchell & Latho had good 2nd halves.

If Chris White refs another game in this WC is a ****ing disgrace. His positional play is dire, there was at least 3 times he got in the way of players. On top of that, he slows the game down something shocking and does nothing to help provide an entertaining game.

...Go Fiji!! -in the lead by 15-3 against Wales...

BoyBrumby · 29-09-2007, 09:52 AM

Full credit to Fiji. I didn't give them an earthly, but they've given themselves a great chance of dumping the Taffs out. Horrible miss by Hook from just in front of the posts with the last kick of the half, which pretty much sums up their half.

First ten minutes of the second going to be so crucial. Wales need a score with the extra man.

BoyBrumby · 29-09-2007, 10:04 AM

Lovely score from Shane Williams there, to be fair. Rather ruined it by being Billy Big Biscuits when the lept over the line.

Got him in me Sportal dream team too.

EDIT: Alfie Thomas goes over in the corner now. 25-22 Fiji with kick to come. Proving to be game of the day.

2nd EDIT: Kick shanked.

BoyBrumby · 29-09-2007, 10:09 AM

Champagne Rugby from the Taffs. Mark Jones goes over & Stephen Jones converts. 29-25 to Wales. Staggering.

vogue · 29-09-2007, 10:40 AM
