Writing in the Wales on Sunday, Barry John reflects on Wales' World Cup preparations.
"I’m sure that Wales can tinker with the scrum and iron out the problems but I think the line-out was the worst it has been in any of the three warm-up games. We just don’t seem to get the mechanics right between throwers and jumpers.
"And it said something that Argentina, who were playing their first game for around nine months, produced an efficient line-out performance and showed how effective they can be with the catch and drive when they scored their try at the end.
"Warren Gatland will name his 30-man squad tomorrow but I’m sure he won’t have too many headaches over the makeup of his World Cup party. The real headache for the head coach will be honing a game plan that Wales will be able to put into action. Wales need a solid set-piece otherwise they will be coming home before the postcards."
