PMSL emmmm no.
What are the english comentators like, "the have awoken the sleeping giant" what a lot of pish
Well, it's a step up from talking about who has the best beard in the WC. As they were doing earlier.
I could watch Chris Ashton all day. He's gr8.
Lolz
I remember enduring Ireland v Georgia last time round. Seem to recall much support for the Georgians. No bleating here though. Too much backbone for that sort of thing.

So like the Welsh and the Irish commentators then? Shock horror: English commentator supports England; Welsh commentator supports Wales; Irish commentator supports Ireland.
DD you know I love you.
You still in bed Jimmers? Txt me a pic if u r. x
Never mind that......
The Georgian physio lass is rather nice.
toys, you're gr8 too. x
Here's O'Flashearty the mizojinyst. 😐

More chance of nailing fog to the wall, unfortunately.
Which, unfortunately, highlights the pathetic myopia of some people.
I really wouldn't get that stressed about it, Zokes.
If my patronising support for the junior nations is not reciprocated, then that's fine with me 😐
Anyone seen my glasses? White with a tint of rose.
Hmmm. France vs Canada, or quick spin on the road bike.
Decisions decisions.
No Backbone? guffaw I guess there is the yeoman of good stock and the rest of the world is made out of jelly 😉
Too shit here in Drizzle Brizzle for a ride so Molly's getting an early walk. Back for the second half I think.
Sunshine and lollipops in the flatlands. But nippy tho.
Lycra. Road Bike. ENGAGE!
Brilliant stuff from England. 6 tries. Bonus point. I think the naysayers need to rethink now.
Lycra. Txt me pic pls. x

Am torn.
Always want the under dog to do well, but I still have France as my outside, crazed optimist pick to win this year!
Head says SA to win, though.
1234!
Anything you can do....! Great!

Didn't know Captain Redbeard Rum was Canadian!
Beard contest: over 🙁
Ireland have had their fluke result, will get beaten by Wales ( if it works out they meet) before Wales do their plucky but as usual nearly show and lose. It's always the same, I mean how many world cups have they won or even getting to the final?
Ireland will stomp wales, there is revenge to be had. Canadian beards, amazing..5th pint.. Go Canada.
We'll have no talk of the QF till the group stages are finished. We still have to play Italy!! 😯
If our pack shows up like it did yesterday we will beat the Italians by a margin. On recent showings that is a big "if" but I think we will get a lot of self-belief back after that performance. We'll rest the front line guys for the Russians and then put the full side out for the Italians and aim for a good performance to take some momentum into the knockouts.
Well, that was horse do do...
Canada penalised because a Frenchman falls over the hoardings? WTF? Harsh.
Yeah, bollocks. Traille try. Arse.
Are France looking ever so slightly vulnerable? 🙂
I wish
I know it must be hard, but just for once, seeing as everyone's cheered for Wales and Ireland, could the other home nations bury their tiresomely childish hatchet and just be happy that England have actually turned up?
no

Wales made 181 tackles and still won compared to Samoa who made 116, pretty amazing.
powell made 20, Charteris 22 and Faletau an incredable 27.
no
Pity, I thought you had more maturity.
nothing to do with maturity, just I support the little country who the England team want to keep in its place, as such I reserve the right to loath a lot of them. Wilkinson seems like a nice chap though many others just come across as tossers. I love watching The HAsk loose.
Good grief, you English boys are really reducing this thread to a pointless read.
It's supposed to be about rugby, not popularity.
Just get it through your skulls, will you - [b]NOBODY[/b] likes England. And it's not just the 'Celtic' nations, I've sat in Capetown watching NZ play England in the 99 RWC and the S Africans were supporting Anybody But England.
And we don't have to justify it. Why should anybody justify who they support and who they don't?
Anyway, yes I was up at 4am, watched the first two games and gave up at 9.30 and went back to bed. Quite a few of my neighbours had lights on at 4.30 as well.
Wales went back to form. They looked as though they'd never ever heard of Samoa or their reputation. No discernible organisation. And sad to say, I think Samoa deserved to win the game. I'm not sure why Charteris was on instead of the bulk and aggression of Davies, and Wales needed a fit Ryan Jones on the pitch, rather than Faletau's inexperience. Halfpenny looked far better than Hook at 15 - as I predicted many pages ago, Hook is slowly being played out of the Welsh team.
The panel in the Welsh studio must have been the ugliest group of TV presenters ever brought together - Mark Taylor, Gareth Llewellyn and Mark Jones.
England did well and got a deserved bonus point, which is what will decide second place in this group. And it wasn't such a bad game, even though I did drift off into sleep a few times. I can't blame England for that this time.
Good grief, you English boy[s]s[/s] are really reducing this thread to a pointless read.
Fixed.
Just going back to this:

BTW; When you see Alfie now, how could we not know?
If it is referring to his being gay, there was a well known rumour going around in West Wales all the way back in 94 about Alfie and another player. Which, thinking back, surprises me, because even he apparently didn't realise that he was gay until well after this!
And I should add, not that it matters at all. I'm just amused that people seemed to know before Thomas himself.
Clearly the Welsh are saints by comparison:

Now then, who are the most vocal about stringing up drink drivers by their goolies?

LOL @ namaste.
Very good, that one.
I like "trundle towards the breakdown"
England however must have sacked the trundlemuppets today - bonus point?
IOs it worth watching as a game?
That chart misses the last box...
