OK so the optimism fairy has been humping my leg all morning Wales by 2 with a last min 1/2p. 50m pen.

What price some of this too?

Great video a_a 😀

That first tackle is so beautiful and so effective.

Given all the flack Sam seems to take it is easy to forget just how good he can be. It would be awesome to see him have another stormer today!

Scotland are scoring tries! Isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse? 😀

Scotland could do with a place kicker with a range greater than 30m though...

At least the first half was an unexpected pleasure to watch!

Can't find any, but let's just say it was a Kylie style top half to the dress in "that" video, and a cold day. Laura Wright I think her name is, got her cacks out not long ago too.

Anyway, I had hopes up to 39 minutes. Then we lost prettying everything, good grief.

Weird though, what happened, the first half the team looked organised and showed promise, they change ends and it all fell apart?

Watched son in school match so will have to watch Eng highlights - so its switch over after the 1H by all accounts,

Good luck my taffy friends - stick one up the bokks! Try to bring the same passion and killer instinct that you have against us boys in White.

Yes shocking for a match like this.

The power of silence!!!! Amazing.

(was that a slightly pished Bonnie Tyler?)

I wish AWJ would show some emotion!!

Mixture of the argies figuring out what we were up to and no plan b, and reverting to hoofing possession away at every opportunity. Wilson looked like he was blowing after 8 minutes!

Good start from JD. I hope the Englsh back line are watching how to take the ball at pace and on the correct line.

Pitch is a wreck, both teams are giving their all though and it wasn't really a yellow!

C'mon Wales - need a good first 10 now.

I thought Walsh only hated the English DD?!

To be fair, the green machine are giving him plenty of excuses to blow the whistle he loves so much, but he is stopping the game frequently.

@teamhurtmore - not sure I'd bother with the England highlights, would use any brownie points to watch France v NZ. I watched 20 mins of Eng v Arg and reinforced why I never buy the tickets for this fixture, all a bit messy but England find a way to win without Argentina making a real game of it. Wales SA sounds a lot more entertaining.

****ing useless irish french ****. Any reason he couldnt of checked for offside... At least Gethin did the right thing to drop and go uncontested for ten. Players going off early meant the bench lost impact.

Beaten by a better team on the day, coughed it up to often and the Boks tries were very good. Injuries are a real worry.

Weird game for Wales. Looked like they would get stuffed with the early try and injuries, yet they held on and actually dominated large areas of the game without ever looking like scoring. You could disallow the try but still Wales didn't look like scoring. I guess the positive was that some of the replacements came on and played well. At the end of the day I can cope with Wales getting stuffed all November so long as they turn up for the 6N again 😀

I actually think this has been wales gameplan for a few years now..

Meanwhile, I thought wales were impressive despite losing, they seriously committed to every second of that game.

Loving the Ireland game now.

Hibbard is utterly ****ing mental. He was superb. I was right about Williams too thought he might last longer than that! Losing Davies was a massive blow.
****ing Rolland was quick to go upstairs when the SA's wanted him to. He even said I've had a report of foul play... Its supoosed to the the touch judges doing that not the players you ****. Then he allows a try try that should have been reviewed and final when video ref suggests he should look at something he says n! ****. As for his face when he realised the scrums would go uncontested because he sent them both off was priceless. Having lost both tightheads and having James a loosehead cover wales were being dicked so he got them out of jail there...

I realise Samoa only defeat poorer NH teams, but putting 40 past them is a good result. Forwards were ferocious at the breakdown today. Samoa helped by running everything back at us. Jackson was impressive today as were Best, O'Mahony, McGrath and SO'B. Happy with that.

Looking forward to the Australia game.

We'll get humped by New Zealand though. 😐

Wonder if Rolland will ask for a post match meeting with Gatland!

Boks supporter here as you boys know and I think he is a **** as well.
He cost us the WC in 2011 when he gave Aus the game.

SA scrums were being fed in to the second row!

Still, not quite clinical enough. Good try, but not enough. Oh, and Rolland? Laughable.

Wife started swearing in Welsh when Davies went off, because he is "bang tidy" Hubbard was ace; if only he could chuck in.

To be clear I dont think he favoured SA who were easily the better team but he's just shit

Lineout wasnt too bad was it? Considering how good the SA lineout is. Warburton was excellent as was Faletau, Lydiate quiet

@peteimprezza - yes it's on the normal "wyz"-ie site as its on SKY-2. I'm watching on France-2 terestial as in France. Good game, 9-9 and France camped in NZ 22 for long periods. Very impressed by them so far.

Good match (W v SA). On balance better team one, but Wales played well. Shame about injuries especially JD who had made those two breaks. Hibbard was good as was Warburton.

The most annoying things about the ref was be sounded like a French Loius Walsh. But I thought he was ok and consistent as the commentators said. Good for him for sending the props off as most refs would have bottled it esp as the bokka had only just come on.

Not sue about the news scrum laws though. And so much feeding and foot up. Still an inconsistent farce IMO.

Watched 30m of England before supper! Left it at that, amazed that England hit some balls at pace!!!!
