Out kitting(
) so missed the send-off (the captain being a key player too) welsh played 14 men team for maybe 3/4 of the game - gutsy effort.
The welsh try deserves a mention - mid-way thru' 2nd half but they lost their pressure after that.
+
Too many attempted drop kicks (both sides) - either under pressure or perceived pressure = wasted opportunity to bag a try (more so the frogs).
Tactically both teams lost the plot for periods - Frogs had some great movies - but show bagged them and totally blew it. - Their line-out performance was good - reckon the guy getting lofted would need some G-suit style undies[}:)] - rocketing up.
The boyo brigade - were gutsy (at times great to watch) but the team element was missing in the line the ball rarely flowed out well - + they copied the frogs style too much - passing possession over with high kicks and not gaining and often loosing territory.
Hopefully there is more fizz in the semi- tomorrow - that stage has certainly been set.. Who ever wins tomorrow will win the WCup - frogs are unlikely to find a rabbit to pull out of the hat based on that performance.
Have to agree with U Ted - re commentary - poor.
