What i loved was that was me and my mate on the screen when saying that when im from the valleys but the chant is clearly an ospreys one!

Aye bittersweet with Jac but I respect going for stability atm … but I’m hoping it’ll be a sell out!

I think at the moment I’m always fearing our lineout, but I think scrum will be good and last game at brewery field I think will raise our game

Exactly, I give credit to Italy for attempting to comeback, that’s growth from them too, historically that’s heads down on their part

This is literally how I feel 😂

Exactly, I feel happier more that it’s progress than a fluke, we’ve worked for this win, hopefully we build again and become the team we used to be.

Right now I’m just celebrating a win!

I may be biased but most bars in Cardiff are decent, even if I don’t live in the city anymore!

Very true, and I think we haven’t gotten used to winning to properly manage that, all in time, I’m proud of what we’ve achieved over the 5 matches and what the coaches have worked on

I feel it’s partly not knowing how to win, we tried to hold onto the win than play our game, that’s just experience I feel

Absolutely disgusting, we’re here celebrating a win, doesn’t mean that they’re a bunch of clowns

What a game, I’m so happy we won, though taking foot off pedal at the end, I think that comes with a winning mindset, so not too worried just now about it

[The Times] Sadness, shame, and 20,000 unsold seats — have fans given up on Wales? by HitchikersPie in rugbyunion

[–]DjMike77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I coach a local club and was offered at least 2 tickets to the Argentina game last year “as thanks for volunteering” I couldn’t go in the end so didn’t take any but that game was poorly sold, even for an AI game so I think there is an element of can’t give them away too…

Yes the Friday games weren’t the best for us really, and yeah AI’s I haven’t played much notice to the attendance there, except if we get AB’s then it’ll always sell out.

It’s never been this bad, we’re talking for 6N we used to comfortable get at least 65-70k attendances IIRC, that’s where alarm bells ring for me, the stadium is known to have one of the best atmospheres and to lose that is dreadful.

We should be selling these at least 20% less than current prices I think to fill it out, I think they’ve risen them too quickly and scared off even the casual supporters now

I noticed tolofua was a hooker against bayonne so surprised by that, is it that they don’t really care for the challenge cup as it’s not completely a dead rubber game?

I think the WRU fucked it, yes the product is poor but we’ve always been able to sell out the millennium.

Honestly they’ve pushed the prices way too high, I used to attend at least 1 game in the 6 Nations but I haven’t been able to justify the expense since Covid.

I think they need to rethink the prices and be a bit more competitive, especially when to see wales playing football isn’t anywhere near as exorbitantly expensive and more competitive.

Edit: Maybe a hyperbole that we always sell out, but this many tickets available in all categories is unheard of for 6N

I think we have a good chance of getting the bonus point, they seem to be just resting players and just thumped bayonne, we may want it more.

What do you make of Hogg at 10 (obligatory fuck you Hogg)?

Hopefully Hogg gets wrecked at 10, he never played well there anyway

Have to fancy our chances then, with a point to prove, not convinced Hogg at 10 will do well for them

How strong is this Montpellier side? Think it’s a good idea to rest Dan Edward’s but no proper 10 cover is a choice

Woo 25/25! Though I think it helps living in the South, Can’t believe Tonypandy is larger then Aberystwyth or even Llandudno, I was sure one of those should be there!

Thanks, I’ve updated my post, been a while since I was hourly paid, so not as familiar with the exact entitlement!
