Mike Brown has provided a severe evaluation of Wales’ lacklustre performance last Saturday.
The current Leicester fullback went as far as accusing the renowned Alun Wyn Jones of walking during their 10-20 loss to England in the Guinness Six Nations.
“It wasn’t the greatest game to watch. Wales are in a real dark place on and off the field at the moment and you could see that. They have got some work to do,” said Brown, who was appearing on
“Just for me, they were slow and ponderous. There was one moment when their nine who actually was quite good, I can’t remember his name now, did a quick tap and he was off and gone and actually made some good metres and caught England and the whole team were like 20 metres away…
hat (slowness) was why they were getting beaten at breakdown, people walking. People like Alun Wyn, who is supposed to be the talisman leader, just walking around.
“I don’t think they were that physical and that was why they were getting turned over at breakdown. And then no adaption of their game plan.
“You were thinking at some point they are going to change it, shift to kick it or do something different because it was just every single kick was on him [Freddie Steward] and he was never going to drop it because also there was never really any pressure as well so it was like, ‘What are they doing?’ It was strange. Yeah, such a shame to see from the Wales team, isn’t it?”

“He made such an impact on the game when moving from rugby league. He had dazzling feet that meant he so often beat the first defender and, like most top wingers, you could play off him as well as him being such a devastating finisher.”
DID YOU KNOW?! He was nicknamed ‘Billy Whizz‘ after a character in the British comic The Beano, who is an extremely fast runner.
