74-24 Wales win...when they woke up they just made Tonga look amateurish.

Ref blows up Japan twice for clearing out beyond the ruck, then keeps his whistle in his pocket when England do it in the course of their try scoring

Some promising performances by the youngsters .... Tonga poor but I'm happy with that.

The Islanders need to be paid on a per tackle basis. It's about the only way it might keep them going for the full 80.

England’s new winger is fcuking huge

Losty Dublin · 17-11-2018 04:40PM

Something that may seem small to most but here goes.

At the end of the game in Cardiff and the Samoans huddle up for their customary post match prayer. The TV camera moves over to the post match interview which is boomed over the in house PA, ignoring the visitors and their post match tradition. For a minute of a wait by all concerned, it would have shown the visitors a touch of respect to hold off on the media duties until they had finished their prayer.

Imagine the outrage if the Haka was interrupted by something like that.

The ref has absolutely ****ed Japan here today.

stephen_n · 17-11-2018 04:48PM

Farrell so far offside there he was behind japans screen and England get a penalty lol

Crazy decision.

England do it, but some dubious refereeing helping them out.

Kiith · 17-11-2018 04:52PM

The Knowles tackle looked like it should have been a yellow as well. Not even replayed on the screens either.

thomond2006 · 17-11-2018 04:55PM

This is great. We don't want England to implode for another 12 months.

stephen_n · 17-11-2018 04:56PM

What’s this BS of giving out medals after every game

I believe it's called the Manu Siva Tau.

ScrubsfanChris · 17-11-2018 04:57PM

Did England just give themselves medals for beating Japan?

no.8 · 17-11-2018 05:02PM

Job done in the end by England. Sounds like some here will be upset by that. Quite sad tbh, afterall they gave NZ a fantastic game last week. We need a strong England side as much the AB's need a strong wallabies and boks team

You're reading way too much into it in your haste to be outraged. People would generally want any underdog to beat any tier 1 country.

As much as we need a strong England, we need a broader pool of viable teams.

stephen_n · 17-11-2018 05:14PM

Looks like they’re having a rave in Murrayfield lol

irishbucsfan · 17-11-2018 05:15PM

What channel is the scotland match on?

Stheno · 17-11-2018 05:15PM

BBC two

Well I don't agree about being hasty but that's alright. I view them as our greatest rival but at the same time its the almost universal dislike of the team from NZ to Scotland and here that's gets fairly tiresome. Tend to judge them on their merits rather than their press.

I agree with the 2nd point. I'd love to see the likes of Georgia and Japan reach tier 1 level.

Anyways, looking forward to SA vs Scotland. Hope it's a cracker

If being huge made someone a good winger then Adam Byrne should be breaking into the Ireland squad.

Having said that, that winger is particularly freakish.

That Kriel try was pure filth.

Clegg · 17-11-2018 05:26PM

That's an utterly wonderful try from South Africa.

stephen_n · 17-11-2018 05:30PM

Scotland need to learn how to tackle

Georgia vs Samoa a good indication of where both sides are at and should be a reasonable game. Have Samoa declined a bit as a rugby nation in last few years?

Anyone know result of this? No sign of it on world rugby site or anywhere else
