According to the Indie on Saturday morning, Gatland and Edwards didn't do 40 point drubbings. Well, they do now....Outmuscled by a rampant Bokke back row, then outwitted by the skill and speed of Jean de Villiers, the Grand Slammers came third, while the world champions looked exactly that. The Welsh conceded soft penalties when they needed to stay in touch, and coughed up the ball just when they needed to hang on to it.
More than anything else, they didn't look as though they were relishing the contact - all a bit of a throwback to the world cup performances, with a couple of sweeping moves resulting in excellent tries thrown in to remind us of what we'd thought we'd left behind at half time at Twickenham.
Well, boys...hope you're enjoying the training sessions in the wake of this minor debacle...
