Rugby World Cup 2019 Japan The hunt for Webb Ellis

North's gone, big blow for Wales

Itssoeasy

From the radio wales commentary the Welsh player was polaxed.

Really wasn't expecting North to stay on the field.

Edit: He accepted defeat.

Gone now.

Welsh falling like nine pins! Catching up on them, on the way out you’d think.

I think SA might have the game to take England on though. If they can suck them into a battle like this.

Wales will be too devastated by this if they win to mount a challenge in the final sadly.

No matter how average we were in the tournament, we would have to fancy our chances in these games against South Africa and wales.

As we all expected, the final was yesterday

Imagine how the French feel!

Is it definitely a hamstring gone from George north as the radio commentary are asking whether it's cramp or not.

Squidgy Black

I've no idea why I woke up for this.

Half time as predicted. Nearly of copy of the Japan game.

England will be glad of the extra days rest and watching these two batter each other up.

I'd be surprised if it was a cramp the way he pulled up, especially after only 35 minutes or so. He looked to be in a fair amount of pain too.

Wales need to start feeding the back line earlier. Losing ground anytime they stay tight and then just kicking it away

Gareth Thomas said it's been a good game....what is he watching

Thanks.

I didn't think we would see such an all action game to top yesterday's classic. If you thought the nil three game yesterday was the ultimate in rugby ding dong - what do you make of five scores so far in this game? That's rugbytainment off the charts.

Lol no. They weren't good enough to beat Japan who got nearly shut out by RSA. They got pasted by NZ who nearly got shut out by England.

If anyone still can't accept that Ireland were just bad this tournament I dunno what to tell them.

Their nine, when he actually makes it to a ruck is glacial. He's allowing the SA forwards to line up and smash his team.

Bring back Japan please. Or France at least

Tell them they are highly intelligent, clearly they won’t understand the sarcasm.

Simple observation: Should Wales win this it'll be pyrrhic. England will be jumping for joy at the injuries being sustained.

shootermacg

If wales win this, they'll have nothing in the tank for England and one day's rest less.

GreeBo

This game is like a poor inter county puck fada competition.
Zero quality on display at every aspect of the game.

England at a canter.

MadYaker

This winner of this will surely be easily beaten by the brits

lawrencesummers

I’m enjoying it. It’s not all about tries and offloads.

The physicality is great to watch.

I'm weird then, I'm enjoying this

The Welsh or English Brits?
The Scottish Brits are gone home

If Wales win this they'll have no players left at this rate.

They'll be going into a RWC final without Josh Navidi, Liam Williams, George North, Hadleigh Parkes. And the game isn't even over yet.
