An All Too Familiar Story

Wales play the All Blacks in Cardiff.

Wales lose heavily - this time 23-55.

Wales try hard and hang on to the New Zealanders’ coat tails for an hour or so before the visitors run away with it.

Wales are out-muscled and at times it looks like men against boys.

Sadly, this time the All Blacks did not need to anything very special. There were no fireworks even though it was November 5th. They basically pressured Wales into making mistakes, got into the Wales twenty two, and used the power of their forwards to create a score. The favoured adjective by rugby experts was that they were “clinical”.

Enough said, I think.

Principality Stadium Inflation watch – price of a ticket £95, price of a pint £6.50, price of a pasty an eyewatering £7.50. Hard to argue that this is value for money!

Wales play Argentina next week but I will be at Pontypool Park to watch the Pooler take on Bargoed. This really is “Le Crunch” or “El Classico” or just bloody important. I can’t wait.

Come on Pooler!

Come on Wales!
