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

Itssoeasy

“Stay strong”

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

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

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.

Wales an absolute mile offside there

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.

That rendition of the fields of athenry lasted ages.

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

Only the clocks went back an hour this morning, this muck would have me asleep

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.

We were spoiled yesterday,

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

Welsh nine would want to pick it up.

lawrencesummers

Not a good idea to kick the ball to vermullen

Much filth on show here.

North's gone, big blow for Wales

Itssoeasy

From the radio wales commentary the Welsh player was polaxed.

Vital Transformation

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.

FrancieBrady

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.

Thank god for the half time gong

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.
