Tj - Watching it to see Wales go top of the World rankings? ; )
NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD!!!!11!!111!!!!!
😂
Amazing acheivement given how few top teams they beat 😉
I must admit tho that Gatland has made them into a real force Peaked too early? 😉

Dont we have to beat England tomorrow?
Worl rankings are bollocks anyway.
Provisional number one at the moment, regardless of result. Official publication is on Monday, so a win tomorrow would rubber stamp it.
Agree on the rankings being rubbish, but let's bask in the glory for a while, eh?
Slade Underhill and that 7's player all out for England. Hard to see Sam Underhill staying fit for any useful period during the rwc
Ireland game on c4
Forza italia
Nasty one for Joey Carberry, hopefully he's not out of the rwc
Hope he's ok, really rate him.
Agree on the rankings being rubbish,...
Hold your horses, don’t be so hasty. Someone who knows their onions, said last year:
I refred(sic) to the rankings as I think it shows the true strength of teams.
Anyone remember who said that?
Carberry didn't look too clever. Who else have Ireland got who can play 10 at the moment? If Jungledrums Sexpants gets injured, who steps in?
Carty is pretty handy. Is 4th choice Billy Burns? (Freddie's somehow Irish brother!)
Anyone remember who said that?
Hopefully not me!!!
Nope, I think it was when their team went into
the top 10 ; )
Me? I like the rankings. NOt faultless but it does give a good indication of where the teams are. sometimes throws up oddities tho.

Yes, I agree with you, it gives a fair idea of where the teams are over a period of time. I don’t see how you could get to #1 in the World (even if only for a day), without being a very good team.

When we lose tomorrow I'm blaming you!!!

In the last 12 months every major team bar the all blacks, but we haven’t played them since 2017
Dont we have to beat England tomorrow?
Forgone conclusion against our rag tag experiment isn’t it?
Hold on wait, Jones has changed his mind again. Sigh.
Predictions for today?
I will get cross at both teams "dark arts"
Tedious game of thud and blunder. Wales to win by 5 pts
England have a strong pack, Wales will have been flogged in training, anything could happen!!
anything could happen!!
My feelings too. A good workout with no injuries would make me happy.
Tedious game of thud and blunder
I cannot see that happening, both teams can play exciting rugby imho.
Can yes - but will they? Mind you Liam Williams is on fire right now and maybe he will do thew honours - Wales seem to allow him to counter in the way 1/2p seemed never to be allowed to
Watch out at rucks for this one - as a Welsh player is cleaned out at a ruck he sticks his leg / foot on the wrong side to slow the ball - something I hope gets picked up.

Thanks, I’ll do that. Normally I only see obvious things like this:

I can’t see either team holding back. We’re playing for our 15th win, secure our 1st in the world position officially and Goat becoming our most capped player ever and England are announcing their wc squad tomorrow so the young players will be looking to impress.
I just hope no one on either side gets injured
I/m just bitter 'cos Scotland are not so good at it! Still bitter from cheating at scrums years ago that cost Scotland a game!
MInd you - after a comment on here I watched out for ickle jonny being a niggly get and yes he is!

I think you’re right, when Hogg shakes his head he is clearly guilty 😂

Dont see how thats illegal?
Daly isn't a 15.
Hopefully Curry and Anscombe are okay 😕
Well my predictions about as accurate as ever!
FFS.
Yay. Can we have a better next 40 though, I suspect Wales will, so it’s ours to lose.
Shite!
Wales look rusty and off pace - back to our usual starts then. Let’s see what happens in the 2nd half. Will we do our usual of getting back up to speed after 40 mins and england switch off? I do hope so. I hope anscombe is ok too. I missed why curry came off - what happened?
Curry looked maybe like a shoulder?
He's a nailed on starter for me so won't be risked at all.
England have played well here, especially for such a scratch team.
Wales have not, especially given the established nature of the team. Very poor.
Wales off the pace from the start, look lethargic. Shite.
Solid win against the number two team in the world 😎
England 2nds the best in the world again which is nice.
What CFH said. Watson back in for sure, Ludlum looks good as bench/replacement player but needs to look after his 10, Genge was good. Francis won’t be there. Anyway what can you say, we just beat the supposed no 1 team in the world without a full strength team - happy days.
Agreed as above, Daley should not be at 15, cheeky drop goal aside.
Whilst everyone seemed to be thinking England wouldn't stand a chance... I was thinking to myself that this looks very much like a style of England side we haven't seen since the tour to Argentina and that turned out very nicely for them. Shows the value of half backs and centres that can distribute the ball and actually read a game combined with a pack and game plan that actually makes the most of its bulk with some fresh names with a point to prove. What is disappointing (if I were English) is you know full well Jones will go back to a stodgey style play and pick the team based on names rather than form or what they actually offer.
On another note, what did JJ do to pee off Jones in the past?
