Wales can never again be the force in world rugby that they once were. They might win a game here or there, maybe even a Grand Slam, but long term, no way.
The standard of the Welsh League has been one of the problems in past years, although, it is much stronger at present.
Wales seem to always lack imagination. The way that the game is played today, particularly, at international level, you have to play the game with pace. Wales are almost static in comparison.
You must have the ability to retain possession, which Wales don't. You must win most of your set pieces and be strong in defence, which Wales seem unable to be.
Just a thought, Is it me, or do Wales never seem to be big enough up against other teams?
Wales have been able to challenge most other teams in the "kicking goals" part of the game. However, at International level, you need more than that. Too many times the Welsh play phase after phase, but gain no ground. They are easy to defend against because they just do the same thing time after time.

They did not do to badly against France Tonight, it was a dogged Match against the French. They are a very tough side to beat. The Final Score was France 32 Wales 21. If Wales was playing against England Tonight they would have won. I think all Teams have there bad Periods until they start getting good again. Jones had a brilliant try near the end and then a Conversion by another player. The Score was then 21 Wales and 29 France . The Welsh missed two Penaltys and France Scored again and eventually won.It was a good Effort by the Welsh. This Post from Ireland.
