The astonishing 'Wales Absentee XV' that's basically the first fifteen

Davies set to miss the Six Nations

Wales ran out winners against the Springboks today in Cardiff, but it came despite a remarkable injury list.

Of course, egregious injury lists are fast becoming the norm both at international and club level, yet even by modern standards, Wales ‘missing in action’ makes for eye-watering reading.

The BBC flashed a graphic outlining a XV made up of absentees, and it’s effectively the Wales first fifteen.

South Africa player ratings | 2024 Autumn Nations Series

Siya’s rating is a joke. He was everywhere and didn’t put a foot out of line. Played 80. Compared to Eben who only played 30 minutes?


Thomas du Toit’s rating also baffling.


But regardless, a pretty dominant showing all around.

Ireland should have won by at least another 14 pts. A lot of errors in.the first half...and Stockdale not passing for a certain try..unforgiveable.

Scotland's Sione Tuipulotu admits anger at Australian rugby

Rugby Australia is a joke. Meafou is playing for France and is the best young lock in the game. The treatment of Skelton is similar to these guys. A disgrace. They then multiply their stupidity by having silly OS player policies. Fire the lot of them and bring in some league managment.

David Campese takes back his Joe Schmidt coaching Australia criticism

Perhaps you need to change your tune and rather than claim that Kiwis are out to undermine Ozzy rugby, point the finger at your NSW bogey. Or are you the only one who can sort this out? Schmidt seems to be taking players who were underperforming and turning them into a much better functional team from where I am sitting. In many ways, he has made better progress with the Wallabies than Razor has with the ABs - which has been pretty disappointing imo.
