Cullodenhaha (U12185831) posted Jun 7, 2008 Yes, Firefly, you did exactly what I anticipated and removed my WUM post, which proved the very point I was making, which is that you guys find the truth hard to take. Go on, prove me right again and delete this. Otherwise, any other reason you wouldn't remove Finbar's xenophobic comments from earlier? I'm far from xenophobic - my wife is South African, which actually, when you think about it, makes some of the other comments on this board by a certain dog deeply offensive.

I felt a little embarrassed by the number of mistakes, penalties given away and a severe lack of confidence by the majority of the team. Also, did anyone else feel really frustrated by Cooper's service - very slow (not that he's the reason we lost)?

Your own coach, Warren Gatland said, elsewhere on this site, that he was ashamed of the Wales performance, the players just never fronted up. Admit it, you were rubbish today, then get on with life.

Playing the world champions at high altitude and without four or five key players was always going to be too much. We should do better in the autumn internationals. I think the scoreline will be a bit tighter next week too. 15 points maybe.
