A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC: The Wales Team Is Losing Its Way

A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC. Musings from a diehard supporter. Saturday, 19 November 2016. The Wales Team Is Losing Its Way. When you watched Wales they looked dour and seemed to lack joie de vivre as they warmed up. Some may argue that this is professionalism and concentration on the job in hand but there doesn’t seem much of a buzz about the team as they go through their drills. Come on Wales and more importantly come on Pooler! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC: Pooler March On While Wales Stutter

A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC. Musings from a diehard supporter. Saturday, 12 November 2016. Pooler March On While Wales Stutter. When you see how the other home nations are performing, Wales look out of sorts and off the pace. I am not sure why this is but they really do need to use the remaining two games in the Autumn Series to put things right. If they don’t, I shudder to think what resurgent England will do to them.

A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC. Musings from a diehard supporter. Sunday, 1 January 2017. A barren period over the festive break for Pooler fans as there was no match after the Newbridge fixture on the 17. Championship rugby has become a rare resource indeed.

A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC: The Half That Time Forgot

A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC. Musings from a diehard supporter. Saturday, 10 December 2016. The Half That Time Forgot. A dark, miserable, wet afternoon at Pontypool Park still has the edge over Xmas shopping. This marked my return to the fold after international and domestic duties and I was looking forward to a fierce encounter with Beddau who were sitting comfortably in the top half of the Championship table. This was a tough energy- sapping encounter that Pontypool thoroughly d...

A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC. Musings from a diehard supporter. Sunday, 27 March 2016. The home side seemed to lose concentration from the kick off and failed to get hold of the ball. Some smart play by Cardiff Met resulted in a try but the conversion was missed but the gap lead had been closed to 19-10. The students were not done yet. A cameo appearance by tight head prop Edwards before he departed with a yellow card gave the students numerical supremacy and the last few minutes ...

A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC. Musings from a diehard supporter. Saturday, 27 February 2016. The toothless Welsh attack has been a feature for too long now. The current approach may win more games than it loses in the Six Nations but it really isn’t exciting to watch and won’t do against the big beasts of the Southern Hemisphere. We used to have players on the bench who could change the game. Why not give Matthew Morgan a go? Why did we not bring on Tipuric? As the game entered its...

In the Premiership, there are wildly differing starts to the season from the four teams that pipped Pontypool for promotion last season. Merthyr and RGC 1404 go from strength to strength with six wins out of seven while Swansea and Bargoed struggle with only one win each. I wonder how Pontypool would have fared? Keep it going Pooler!

A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC. Musings from a diehard supporter. Sunday, 29 January 2017. Super Pooler Defy the Odds. This was my first visit to Parc Y Scarlets and it is certainly pretty impressive. The contrast with the other venues that Pontypool have played at this season couldn’t be starker. In the convivial surroundings of the Quinnell Lounge it was immediately clear that the Pooler Army was out in force and would surely outnumber the home support. We needn’t have frett...

A View of Welsh Rugby from the Bank at Pontypool RFC. Musings from a diehard supporter. Saturday, 17 December 2016. Scrum All Ye Faithful. Newbridge made a hash of the kick off and from the ensuing scrum their pack was pushed back yards. It was clear that the Newbridge scrum was going to face a searching examination for the remainder of the match. This was the dominant feature of the first half with the scrum proving an invaluable source of possession and penalties for the away side. The substitutions we...
