    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.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,102 ✭✭✭shootermacg


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,518 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,245 ✭✭✭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 nothing in the tank for England and one day's rest less.

    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.

    Anyone else think Hugh Cahill on RTE sounds like Ryan Tubridy?

    What a pinpoint touchfinder

    Yes

    Has George north come back out for the second half ? They haven't said on the radio.

    No, he subbed off before the last 1st half play
