Forum » we have a really big game on Saturday again

Wales lock Luke Charteris believes a potential runners-up finish in this seasons Six Nations Championship offers scant consolation for the team. Wholesale Yeezy 350 . The Racing 92 forward acknowledged that second spot would be an improvement on last term, when Wales ended up third in the table, but Saturdays 25-21 defeat against newly crowned champions England ended their title hopes.Wales will secure second position if they beat Italy at the Principality Stadium next Saturday. Asked if second place would see the current Six Nations campaign regarded as a successful one, Charteris said: No, because we were trying to win it.But if we come second, its one better than last year. Every year we go into the championship trying to win and with the confidence that we can. Weve come up short this year - we will go again next year.Charteris and his colleagues faced a Twickenham debrief at their Vale of Glamorgan training base on Monday, when their sluggish start against England was almost certainly a topic of discussion.Wales trailed 19-0 and 25-7 against England, while an uncharacteristic 19 missed tackles during the first half accelerated their demise.It was a bad day at the office for us - there is no hiding away from that, Charteris said. Wales were punished by England after a poor start at Twickenham We went out there with a goal to win the game and give us a chance to play Italy at home with a chance of winning the championship. That didnt happen, and there are a lot of disappointed boys because of that.There were one or two things in that first half that we will have to address and change. Thats for us this week to have a look at, look back at the videos and work hard, because we have a really big game on Saturday again.We lost a Test match, but the environment we have is always very honest. If the boys play well, they will get praised and be told they played well, and if they play badly, we will be told we played badly.All the boys know we didnt perform as well as we could and should have performed, because we lost the game, so I dont think there will be any surprises in the review. We will take it on the chin and learn from it.I can promise you that going into the game, the boys were highly motivated because if we had won that game we would have had the opportunity to come back to Cardiff on the last weekend of the Six Nations knowing that a win would see us win the championship.Obviously, it didnt go how we wanted it to go in the game.I wish there was a simple answer, but its certainly not a lack of emotion or anything like that. We didnt transfer that preparation and state of how we were feeling into the performance, and that is what we have to address.

The two names that are being bounced around most are British Columbia native Price and Montreal native Luongo. Both have had very successful seasons to date, with each players goals-against average sitting around the 2.20 mark. They have similar save percentages as well, with Price besting Luongo by a small margin at .928. So if you were head coach Mike Babcock, who would be your starting goalie? Luongo is a veteran in international competition, having competed in both the 2006 Turin games and winning gold in his home country at the Vancouver 2010 games. He averaged 1.76 goals against in the 2010 games when he was the teams starting goaltender. The Vancouver Canuck is currently at a disadvantage due to injury. Hes had a slow start to 20114 after suffering a groin injury in late December that caused him to miss three games, followed by suffering a lower-body injury shortly after his return.

Price is already a six-year NHL veteran but will be playing in his first Olympics. The Montreal Canadiens star keeper has been showing his best abilities for Team Canadas management this past month, going 7-3-2 since the start of December. Smith secured his spot on the roster by posting a goals against average of 2.89 and a .911 save percentage for the Coyotes this season. Sochi would not be the Kingston, Ontario natives first IIHF rodeo. The Phoenix Coyote represented Canada in the 2012 World Championship but similar to Price he is a first-time Olympian. With all things considered who should Team Canada choose as their starter in Sochi? As always, its Your! Call. ' ' '
