Is Wainwright 100%? He looked like he had a knock on Sunday.

Interesting piece. Agree with a lot of it.
I guess my somewhat cynical response would be, where was this depth of journalistic scrutiny of the WRU under Lewis & then under Phillips.
It came once the vast proportion of damage had already happened.
Many were calling for this scrutiny 20 years ago…

Be great to see if he can replicate his Ospreys performances at international level. Deserves his shot.

Agree. Problem is, I’m not sure we’ve got great high ball wingers anywhere. Seems to be a missing skill.

It’s not fair on him, asking him to play a role which sets him up to fail. He’s a winger or nothing.

Why did I type that…?

I thought scrum’s been ok. Ish…

Ioan is there purely for the long match winning penalties, obviously…

I assume Rogers is seen as one way of mitigating Blair’s height issues in the back three, but he’s had a bit of a ‘mare in the air too.

Loving his physicality at 6.

Need to keep composure.
It’s key. Don’t let individual instances dictate our response to the game.

I invest all my time & energies rugby-wise into Cardiff, who’ve I’ve supported for over 50 years.

Oh dear… 🤦‍♂️

It’s just weird to feel such trepidation for every single match as a Wales supporter. I sincerely hope you’re right, & I’m proven wrong in my worry. I so want these players & coaches to do well.

You sum up my feelings precisely, Simon.
