Wales win by 3 points... England went for a try in last 2 minutes to win it rather than take the penalty attempt to draw level...
Why would you do that? The draw was there for the taking! Aaaarrrggghhhh

I guess the angle was tricky and they fancied themselves nicking the win given where they were and the amount of injuries Wales had sustained.
It was tricky because Ford can't kick. Farrell had basically won the game and should have kicked Ford in the gentleman sausage, taken the ball, and kicked the three. A miss and we'd have a 22 dropout return anyway ffs!
You got lucky last night and there's no way that you're going to do anything in this tournament even if you do go through at England's expense. Meh.Oh dear wheels of chariot so soon, Wales top of the group of death, early exit for engerland............
Beat the hosts in their own backyard with one of the gutsiest performances in history. We had a fly half at full back, scrum half on the wing and a winger at centre by the end. Wales' whole plan is to stay in the game for 60 minutes and then blow teams away with our superior fitness in the last 20 minutes, which is exactly what we did. To say a strategy that has been months, or even years, in the planning was lucky is very silly.
I thought England were the far better team and threw it away letting Wales get back into the game. Some great kicking on display from both sides but stupid not to grab the draw.
It wasn't strategic genius ffs. England got complacent and let you back in the game when they should have stamped on your throats. They were by far the better side and should have won at a canter, but ****ed it up. Fair play to Wales but don't try and insult our intelligence by making out it was all part of some sheep shaggers master plan

It was. Wales have been doing brutal training regimes in the run up to the world cup. James Haskell said that if England were training as hard as Wales he would retire. We have one of the fittest sides in world rugby. We beat England in 2012 with a late Scott Williams try, we beat you 30-3 the next year scoring 18 unanswered points in the last 20 mins. And now we beat you again in the last 20 minutes of a game. There's an obvious pattern there, Warren Gatland's tactics are based on his teams being fitter than the opponents.
Just sit back and watch a proper Rugby team show you how it's done, you had a well deserved lesson yesterday, English arrogance is never far from the surface, you thought you had it all sown up with the home advantage and Wales injury list, and still we beat you, now sit down and eat your humble pie son!.........

You haven't got any intelligence to insult! Now sit down fatso................
What can't understand is why England made so many changes in game. They were dominant, Wales looked like someone threw a grenade on the pitch there were that many bodies lying on the pitch. Why oh why did England then make changes and disrupt the flow of the team when on top? Maybe as Lucaaas said it was fitness but still...
Not taking the kick was strange since there were two minutes left and England would have been getting the ball back whether it was missed or scored...
No way that England team are beating Australia.
