These stats do not reflect a 40-6 score. A massive issue is the wallabies are a team who don't take advantage of their scoring oppertunites. Wales took every oppertunity bar 1

I think it is experience.
We don't have the experienced players to take advantage of good situations. In test rugby, especially world cup rugby that's exactly what you need. Build pressure, make good decisions.

I'm not sure how accurate these are. I'm sure there were at least 2 or 3 scrum penalties conceded by the Wallabies. Also, there were a couple of 'not straight' line-out calls as well as the botched line-out that turned into a 50-22 for Wales.

As much as the problems are bigger than Eddie Jones - Gatland was able to turn around a Welsh side who were a rabble 12 months ago with players on strike and losing to Georgia. I know it's not a like for like comparison but it's telling I think.

Rugby is the national sport of Wales …

it’s easier to turn around the national sides woes when the grassroots are strong.

Coaching matters and so do the players. Needs some actual brainpower to figure out which of the two is the problem.

So according you the new World rankings should be:

1 Wales
2 Fiji
3 Portugal
4 Australia
5 Georgia

So if Eddie lose against Portugal is OK. Isn't it? Luckily the Wallabies are gonna share poll with Ireland and South Africa in 2027
