Im sorry but the Welsh game plan was utter utter idiocy as was the English. Although both were opposite ends of the spectrum.
Why the English decided to get into a speed game battle with the All Blacks is beyond me. Winning rugby doesn't have to be pretty or spectacular and when your skill levels are not good enough you have to play smart and safe rugby.
The welsh on the other hand must need their heads examing. You are playing a team with a backrow who all weigh around 19 stone and a pretty slow front row with the exception of the hooker yet they choose to play one out rugby. South Africa must have been unable to believe their luck. "what you want to run straight at us around the breakdown?" Mental, mental approach to the game.
A second row pairing who both retired and cam back they never had to move more than 5mt at a time during the game. The welsh have threats wide they have to go to them earlier in games like this. Balls to "earn the right to go wide." you will not earn it against a team like south Africa you have to just do it.
