November Internationals 2025 : Wales v Japan
-
@Catogrande bit unlucky as Mike said he's had many injuries & the Dragons are awful which hasn't helped. Also stuck behind Jac Morgan, Reffell and a few others, it's the one position where we do seem to have some depth.
His move to Cardiff has reinvigorated him I think, I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in a Welsh shirt at some point. -

Wales are bloody awful, no surprise I guess but still.
Japan down to 13 and we still can't take advantage. Shows the complete lack of confidence I guess. -
Japan pay the price for an awful exit
-
Is Warner Derns one NZ Rugby missed ? Hes such a good player
Imagine Holland and Derns in your lineout both got massive engines -
Another awful red zone exit from Japan gifts Wales 7 points , why not just field the kick and just kick it out ..14 points gifted from 2 poor exits

Japan are butchering this
