    Thats where SA got their 3 points from.

    And Willie Le Roux giving the 3 points back again.

    It was for not rolling away I thought

    I am and that is the problem. Changing the contrast on the TV helped a bit but for long shots it's still a bit hard to tell them apart

    Was it not for playing the 9 before the ball was out?

    My apologies. They're very different for me.

    Fair old arm wrestle here. If Wales can't score tries you would think they'll be roasted eventually. Sapping up serious pressure everywhere atm

    I think the odds on England winning the WC are shortening by the second.

    Watching this brutal match, makes Ireland loosing to Japan feel even worse.

    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

    This is absolutely dire....wind or no wind. Only matched in direness by the RTE commentary.

    England biggest danger is the physical toll on their players from yesterday. Plus have have bottled on the odd big occasion.

    Don't feel too bad, the way we played last week wouldn't have be enough to get close to SA last weekend either.

    Very few big names have shown up here. Can't remember seeing AWJ being as anonymous as he is here aside from early penalty win. Tipuric, Biggar, Davies...all looking mediocre.

    Possibly but I think the team would have actually had the belief they could win. Anyway, ifs and buts.

    Wales very good under the high ball. Faf needs to start passing a bit more.

    Absolutely. Crowd back to singing Field's of Athenry, likely out of boredom.

    Eir is no better. Liam Toland claimed Davies' forward pass earlier was perfect and it must have been a different pass that was called forward. The one that drifted about 2m forward out of his hands.

    England will stuff either of these 2, unless they raise their games dramatically.

    Lennihan claimed the same initially.

    And stop faffing about:P

    Does the guy facing 'the wrong way' in a maul not suffer severe pressure on his internal organs?

    I'm surprised stuff like this Welsh guy's apparent arm break doesn't happen every game...

    Christ. Even in real time it was a mile forward. On replay it was bizarre it wasn't called instantly given the referee was alongside.

    His injury was a result of poor tackle technique, but one that Gatland loves. Always hated the chop tackle, always looks 50-50 weather you'd hurt something
