You both know my (long held) view of Pivac - he is completely and utterly out of his depth. Which Coach would - if he had any game knowledge whatsoever - take off Owens, and then 5 or 6 minutes later follow that up by taking off AWJ and Faletau - 3 leaders and replace (particularly the latter 2) with ‘kids’. Australia had 13 guys out ffs Which other Union would have built an effing hotel ahead of building on the strong (squad) foundations laid during Gatland’s tenure
There can be no doubt whatsoever that he's not up to the task. But we'll still hobble on.... it makes you wonder what it will actually take for the WRU to replace him! I should be distraught after losing that but I'm still chuckling away to myself. Bad place to be a Welsh fan right now.
“After the false dawn, Pivac saw his worse run yet in the 2022 Six Nations, finishing 5th. The most notable moment during the 2022 Campaign was when his side limped to defeat against Italy in the Welsh home stadium - this was Italy's first win in the 6 Nations since 2015 and their first ever win in Cardiff; however, Pivac is now regarded as a hero in Italian rugby. He now also holds the title of Georgia Rugby’s favourite coach." On Wikipedia
He'd bite your hand off for 5th again right now That first half was the first time i've enjoyed watching Wales in a long time. But when we're half way up the mountain, Pivac pushed me off! ps Tips you clown.
Yet when it happened, Shanks praised him for taking one for the team ….. In my view, the substitutions by Pivac were more pivotal
Yes, I called Shanks a few names! Comparable to footy commentators condoning cheating. He's just clueless in general I was thinking at half time this will not just be a famous, big victory but that we played much better as well. Second half... I can't believe I fell for it
For taking off Faletau - one of the greatest No 8s to play for Wales (not forgetting his numerous Lions’ caps) and bringing on Mcleod into what was a 2 man back row (Tips was off the field and had around 4 mins to wait to return) was breathtakingly shocking ….
