Well done Wales. Really enjoyed that - not for the rugby, but the intensity was unbelievable.
Ahahahaha!
For anyone neutral, or anyone new to the game, that must have been an AMAZING game to watch. Brilliant brutal rugby from both sides, played with real heart.
However, for anyone supporting one of the teams, an utterly awful nerve shredding nightmare.
Brilliant rugby. Hat, England, hat. A credit to the game.
To throw it to 2 then drive blind from the lineout was criminal...poor decision from the England leaders.
Losing Vunipola was massive for England...poor substitutions from Lancaster...Ben Youngs was having an excellent game with Farrell...crazy
Far too many hipster beards in the England team, no wonder they lost.
😆
It was the razor sharp haircuts that injured Wales though.
Oh dear God that has aged me, what a performance 😆

Cracking game.....Wales by far the better team second half. Well done to them. England going to struggle to make it out of the group now....
Fiji might have enjoyed that too...
And if they can , big if, get a result this week it could still end up with three teams battling for second place and bonus points...
Group A looks as interesting as B now
Cracking World Cup, this
Did I mention my gran was half welsh???
Even when England were on top, too many penalties allowed Wales to stay in touch.
I get that William supports Wales seeing as his Dad's the Prince of Wales, so why does Harry support England?
Oh......
been sent many NSF posting on here links and pics but..
Police in London are reporting an overturned chariot causing delays in the Twickenham area. Avoid at all costs

Where's the skill though?
Are we finally at the stage where Hook gets a call up?
Williams looked like a lower leg break, Liam concussion, Amos bicep. Maybe we'll get Liam Williams back for future games but he didn't look happy. Hope his neck is ok and the bang to the head from yet another clumsy England back rower isn't too bad. Credit to Lloyd Williams for effectively turning around the game with some individual brilliance too
The air is going to be a bit sweeter and the sun a bit brighter in the Doethie Valley tomorrow.
Where's the skill though?
Offloads from Vunipola et al, breaks from Williams etc. Some great tactical kicking from both sides at times.
Oh, and Sam Burgess done did some kicks. 🙂
I think he watched a different game Captain.
Meh.
Really enjoyed that, the team who tried to play rugby came through. If you set up to be negative then you get what you deserve. Australia will hardly be too worried about either of them
Where's the skill though?
Wtf were you watching if you didn't see skill.
Poor game management, poor decision making but plenty of skill on show.
Sorry.....but this made me chuckle!

Well played Wales.
Don't think England will get out of the group. Wales should be seriously worried about level of injuries

Sadly he's already in the living room, feet up on the sofa, drinking our beer and wearing our slippers.....
Truly satisfying to see all the gloating come out so soon.
I just hope your injuries are not too bad as that will really cause issues later on
Well done Wales. Impressive second half.
Hard to watch but entralling nonetheless.
Awesome resilience. Very well done
So, Wales beat Fiji, England beat Aus, Aus beat Wales, but eng & Wales qualify because Cheika didn't think about bonus points?
Still a long way to go - today England's inexperience cost them a game they were in control of.

England beat Aus - aye, good one.
Anyhow - enjoy your beers, welsh fans. I can't even drown my sorrows as I have to go to work and fly home from Japan - thank god nobody on my crew is welsh!!!!!
England fans - if you turn it into ITV+1, you're still winning.....
dantsw13, I'm spending ten or so hours of tomorrow going the other way, ex-LHR T5. Will raise a glass to you over lunch!
Just watched it on catch up. Holy shit.
I thought at first it would be a nail biter, then at half time I was paying England compliments. I reckon they played top notch rugby in terms of approach and attitude, best I've seen them.play in ages. Tactical mistakes though.
Wales needed a prod though.. Half time, then those injuries ignited a bit of anger and it turned the tables.

Wales travelled to Twickenham short of how many 1st choice players? Wasn't it 5 from the intended squad. They fielded an inexperience wing, the 2nd choice scrum-half, an injured full-back and a massively under-powered front row. They then lost another 3 players through the game.
And won.
In Twickenham.
England had all the advantage.
I think a little gloating is allowed before Australia rip Wales to pieces. 😆
(England need to be more than a little concerned about the selection, and the performance and replacement policy.)
England need to be most concerned about the penalty count. You'll never win if you're giving 20+ points away through pure stupidity.
Incredible and through sheer determination the right result.
England must wonder what they have to do after 60 minutes of dominance pegged back only by the glorious boot of Dan Biggar.
Gwlad!
Well done Wales

North slapping Brown on the back was my fav moment.
Oh, and Sam Burgess done did some kicks.
Please don't remind me 😯
A few shots of Brown loosing his rag tonight!

Again to quote Dai,
Look at him. He's like a pound shop Mitchell brother.
TCUP fail and replacement cock up +gazillions
When the long range W penalty went straight through the middle I felt it was going to be one of those days!!
Poor to hear singing during penalties - Twickers is usually better than that - and it was bloody SWLC as well.
Massive congratulations to Wales to win a game they should not have had a look in. Smart work for the try. England substitutions (injury related or not) had a bigger impact than the Welsh. A game we should have seen out being 10 up with 20 to go. Line out call was totally idiocy. Just look at prior line out which was dire with a terrible throw. My 6 pence is Farrell didn't fancy the kick. In any case a stupid call.
I thought JW and other studio pundits where spot on with their analysis of the poor defensive decisions for the Welsh try, rushed up and created space behind.
Australia is now a knock out game for England. Only cancellation is I could see Fiji nabbing a result against a depleted Wales and they will be very much second Favourites to Australia.

Well done WalesPOSTED 51 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST
Don't speak with your mouth full,you'll spray pie everywhere!
About to sneak downstairs and watch it. Sounds like a tense,tight game and fair play to the English supporters on here for not going into "Steve Walsh" mode.
Fiji game is far from a foregone conclusion for Wales, and they are unlikely to beat Oz. This group isn't over yet.
