    What I mean is, would it not be better for Wales to beat them then you're guaranteed qualification if you beat the Aussies?

    Apparently robshaw spoke to the kickers before deciding to go for the corner. ..
    Keith wood scathing about throwing to 2 in the line at that time. ..should have gone 4 5 or 6 to set up the driving maul...England decision making poor under pressure. ..

    They all agreed that England made far too many changes and that completely gave the initiative to Wales. The replacements didn't look a shadow of the players they replaced, including Ford, who kept making terrible little kicks.
    Also, the England defending for the Welsh try was shambolic.

    We simply made too many errors when it mattered, as did the coach.

    Exactly.
    Why do a short throw which leaves you so close to the touchline?

    England have demonstrated that they are too inexperienced to make the right decisions under huge pressure.

    I know what you meant, I can't do the maths. Just getting out of the group will do me. And to be honest, the sheer passion the Welsh can generate against us is terrifying for us cold fish English.

    My gleeful wife has just informed me that even Stan the dog has ****ing Welsh ancestry. I am learning what it is like to be part of a persecuted minority in my own home. More wine required I think, before a wistful viewing of MOTD.

    Shame. The fact that just you me and the Queen (there's definitely only three) were at the finals in 1966 and 1991 was such a coincidence that I thought that I would entertain the possibility that you might have been one of the Welsh fellas I was talking to in the pub after the game. The Turk's Head was rocking, despite England's defeat, and I managed to persuade these reluctant Welshmen to sing the Welsh Hymn (Bread Of Heaven) with my accompaniment. It went down a storm.

    Well excuse me, we don't need you guys to wish bad on us, we're quite capable of failing by ourselves ........................ just not until after we play you guys, of course.:emoticon-0100-smile
    Well done to Wales for their efforts.

    Also can't understand why Lancaster took Youngs off in the 49th minute.

    That decision and then what you say about the penalty & Line-out were strange decisions!

    I will be at Twickers for the Wales v Australia match with my son. The tickets cost £250 each! Highway robbery!
