Current games aren't a matter of being "over the long term": the current Welsh squad is stronger than that of England so for us to do so well in the first half yet throw away the second indicates a serious problem with discipline.

True den, but still get annoyed when teams seem to play for penalties rather than tries.

I did say that if Italy took it seriously they could win a tournament.

Lose to England reserves you mean and by "team like" I take it you mean as in perennial world cup finalists

The current Welsh team is stronger than the English, that's why the game showed how much we had slipped.

Thanks for clarifying, just wondered what context you meant a team like England, as in multi world cup finalists or as in losing to England b.

The team that currently play in England shirts and have an overall weaker squad than Wales, clear enough?

No need for further clarification Russ and clearly they should be weaker, it was the b team Wales lost to after all

Clarification is needed considering you seem to have difficulty with the difference between a team and a squad.

Ssssh Russ as stated no need for further clarification, you'll only be in danger of looking like a bad loser
