Geech has written some good articles recently, concentrating on facts an rugby sense, rather than a blind dogma of the style England "have to" play. I'll take a 1 PT win on Saturday. I'm a bit gutted to be watching it on my iPhone in Japan, and can't even have a beer as I'm reporting to fly home 2 hrs later
Burgess has said he doesn't know who Scott Williams is, according to the Times.
"Shane who?" 😆

He should ask Lawes 😉
It is unlikely Lawes knows either. Williams was under the posts before Lawes realised he didn't have the ball any more. That was a real manshaming, as bad for a forwards ego as this one.

To be fair to him, almost every other league player won't have heard of Scott Williams either.
🙂
Watch the video. There is a malevolent look in his eyes. Looked like an unmedia friendly bad Sam to me. I approve.
So what can we expect from Garces tomorrow besides pinging Gethin off the park at scrum time 👿
I reckon Burgess may end up being carded, the pressure of the game and the expectation on him might pressure him into doing something daft. Other than that as you say, Gethin getting pinged a lot.
"We are a small nation but we have a Dragon on our flag"
😆
We will prevail
I expect whoever wins tonight to make the final. Either Wales or England, if they win will take huge confidence into their Australia match, and the pool winners will be battle hardened with a good route to the final, avoiding NZ & SA (probably!!)
"We are a small nation but we have a Dragon on our flag"
The Kazakh flag is pale blue over yellow, representing a blue unbroken sky over the vastness of the steppe. Or something like that.
On this basis, the Welsh flag should be a solid block of drizzle grey with a hint of a dragon seen through never-ending rain. Is it a dragon? Is it a sheep?
😆
The Welsh belief in dragons comes from them seeing military jets flying through the valleys and not knowing what they are.
You stay classy, you are clearly who Ali Williams was talking about.
pob lwc cymru.

Who?
Rather looking forward to this Italy v Canada game. Might be closer than the Italians think.
Oh, and Cipriani isn't exactly the most charismatic personality on the coverage is he?
Who?
😉
I've only just seen the video of the Burgess comment on Scott Williams and it was blatantly obvious what he was getting at. Needs to work a little on his delivery when trying to be funny
I'm looking forward to the Canada Italy game too. Italy have had patches of playing good rugby but they seem to be hindered by strange team selection that disrupts all the good work. I hope they gel and put on a display
Cipriani isn't put in a great position as he can't give much of an opinion on a team he is currently part of. When asked "who should start at 10 for England" I was hoping he'd say "ME!" 😆
I lol'd when Robinson referred to Farrel being 6'2" or 6'3" but Wiki seems to agree. Certainly didn't look that tall when I saw him but maybe he is!

Players often look a lot smaller than they really are, don't they? AWJ didn't look his height hobbling past me out of Morrisons a couple of years ago, possibly because he was on crutches. Justin Marshall (naked in the gym!) looked much taller than quoted.
Oh Canada!
He is one of those nasty kiwis that apparently target poor ickle members of the England team ( when they aren't cheating) Although we are still waiting for any evidence to back that up that assertion. Probably break into schools and steal kiddies puddings as well.
Canada definitely deserved that one! I feel that Italy had some key breaks from the referee and they should be counting themselves very lucky all round
Canada tried to force breaks,Italy are going back at some rate of knots though,aren't they?

Telling that the sky is not blue on it...
Hope it's a good game and may the best team on the day win (and not the ref)
The M25 was free flowing at 6 thought it might be chokka

Second that! Here's to a great game!
*Pours the Reverend James*
Here's to a good game, all!
Sadly, England by fifteen or twenty is my doom laden prediction.
VPN failed, so listening to the match via the RWC App
I know scrums are fed now but don't lineouts still have to be straight?
Even I was screaming at the first Welsh lineout that it wasn't straight! May as well have just passed to the scrum half!
Boos for a drop goal attempt?
Why?
England need to be careful on this pen count.
Ah, so they only boo a Wales drop goal. Got it.
🙂
I like drop goals.
I scored a drop goal in a school game once. The rugby master gave me a huge bollocking, apparently 2nd row forwards don't do that. I was only about 12 or 13, and I think the points still counted

No one told Adam!
Or Zinzan!
It's peeing me off how Marler constantly gets away with boring in! He isn't even straight at when the scrum is setting
So, Wales bossing the breakdown, eng the scrum. As you were.
You missed out "Mike Brown being a gobby little....."
But otherwise, yes.
Throw wasn't straight but they still ran it in far too easily
Is Owen Farrell part Terminator?
BOSH!
[i]You missed out "Mike Brown being a gobby little....."[/i]
...and the other four in red being gobby little ...
takes two to tango, or five in this case
Wales beginning to look competent.
Scott who?
Well, the he's the lad that just ran straight past you, that's who!
😀
Wish I could actually see something, rather than a poor audio commentary. Is 7 pts a fair reflection?
England have had the better set piece, more territory and more possession so probably yes
