Afternoon, Ben! All well in Singapore? Watching in a bar? If so, where? ๐Ÿ˜€

Too much defending for my liking!

All very well thanks. Watching the Wales game at home then heading to Chijmes for the England game.

Agreed, a few errors too. Hopefully the 3 points will calm them down.

Nice, lah!

Loving the close offloads. Needs more Roberts and North, though.

Another hobgoblin here. The lineouts are costing us big time.

What is it with Wales and the Islanders? BTW; When you see Alfie now, how could we not know?

Not good DD, lots of errors by Wales. The lineouts are my biggest concern but the breakdown isn't much better. Let's see what the second half brings. Is it bad to get smashed again at 5am? I can see it happening.

Duckman, we did know. We just didn't care.

Good afternoon everyone. Only just got tuned in thanks to ITV getting tricksier with their internet location sniffing, but laptop now successfully pretending to be in the UK again. Doesn't look like I've missed much...

And one advantage of being in Oz - it's legitimately beer o'clock:

Looks like an open game.

DD - nope, Murdoch empire only, and seeing as Union is about the fifth sport in South Australia (after AFL, NRL, Cricket and the A-league), there's not a huge amount of chance of finding it in a pub.

The other potential downside of a pub is that I have a 6am flight in the morning, so un-moderated drinking may not be such a great idea....

Good to see the mullett reappearing.

Bad to see another welsh failure at a world cup. This is poor.

@ zokes, so if I meet any Aussies today, they'll just smile and say they don't care anyway ๐Ÿ˜

Have you eaten those croissants O'Flashearty? I'm a bit peckish. Jesus this game couldn't be more different from the green machine's game. So open.

Warming up now. As are the croissants! ๐Ÿ™‚

Darcy, the Aussies will pretend they don't care. We know they do.

Anywhere apart from the Eastern states, and you'd be right. Even there though I think AFL and NRL would be favoured. Despite being sponsored by Qantas, the Wallabies just don't seem that popular here. The most I ever see them mentioned is at the airport!

That said, they seemed to stop caring about the ashes pretty damn quickly too....

Basically, take the usual gutter-press reaction to the England football team's inevitable early exit from a world cup or Europe, and multiply it by the power of n. Australians do not like loosing, and if they do lose, they'll more than likely blame everyone else, or if it's really bad (ashes being a prime example) pretend that they didn't care in the first place.

This is one good point of no longer living in Wales - as an Englishman, I can now enjoy supporting the Welsh again. The xenophobic attitude in North Wales thoroughly put me off for the 10 years I was there.
