An Australian podcast has claimed that only two Welshmen would make a combined Australia-Wales team.
The Green and Gold Rugby podcast singled out just Alun Wyn Jones and Gareth Davies for praise as they analysed the Wallabies' defeat to Wales in Tokyo last weekend.
Making the point that Warren Gatland had outcoached Michael Cheika by picking a team prepared to stop the Wallabies, podcast panel Blake Leonard, James Raxworthy and Richard Griffith claimed that Australia had dominated largely every facet of the match and boasted better players - but still lost.
"If you're picking a combined Wales/Australia side, how many Welsh blokes make the team?" Blake Leonard said.
"Alun Wyn Jones is a freak. He's their most-capped player and best. So is the half-back too - he's a gun," said James Raxworthy.
"Yeah Gareth Davies is a pretty special player but I agree that they don't have many players in that combined team," added Leonard.
"They're a great unit but injuries could unsettle them."
"They don't have the depth. Even their second-choice front-row looked a bit 'how's your father'."
The podcast was also notable for one of the contributors claiming that the "game has gone soft" in response to some of the refereeing decisions in Wales' 29-25 win.
Romain Poite's officiating had come underfire from Wallabies coach Cheika afterwards - with players Michael Hooper and Samu Kerevi both vocal about incidents they were involved in.
