We have played terrible - and I mean no disrespect to Portugal with that comment. I can’t believe how naive we’ve been.
Exactly what I feared. How shockingly bad was the lineout? Portugal, to be fair, were pretty decent. They never looked like they could actually win the game but made Wales look pedestrian. The bonus point could prove critical though, so a definite plus.
You've got to admire Ireland. They consistently play with accuracy and intensity and the results follow. Nothing too flashy but the basics are rock solid. The SA game will be very interesting. Can't wait for AUS v Fiji today!
I think that ship's sailed, who doesn't now? And with the new ruling meaning players can change again, it's all a bit farcical.
I don't know who this noddy is on the Aus game comms but she loves the sound of her own voice and is talking out of her arse half the time.
Not a RU man but I'm enjoying this. Agree female voice cutting talking over others Enjoyed SA game as well.
Need to ensure the Aussies don’t get 5 points from us, and we get at least a bonus point. Then we will need 5 points against the Georgians. On that basis, the Aussies would get 15pts and us 16 - I think
Not a good result for us Fiji winning and the Aussies getting a bonus point. As Taff says if we don't beat Eddie's boys we need to keep their try count down and stay within 7 points. A turgid 9-6 defeat would do if we can't beat them although
Arguably, we played better against the Fijians than the Wallabies did. Whatever happens, it is highly likely that either Gats or Eddie will not get out of the group ….
I was really hoping Aus could get the try at the end, a draw would have been lovely! Things just got interesting. The way it's looking, both teams getting out of our group will reach the semis.
