If Wales go for it properly against Australia, Gav might end up getting a call up for the QFs. 🙂

Well I think anything can happen and there is precedent for that. Remember France in (insert year of world cup) played like donkeys all the way through then came right for the last two games.

Wales recent record against the Aussies is far better than against SA or the AllBlacks. 2 wins and a draw for Wales over the last 10 years, hardly amazing but there is the odd win here and there.

@hels Kiwi is racist as its a daft looking bird, much like half of Liverpool 😉 We where known as five-pound-poms, it never bothered me. I took mild offence to being called a pommie-b’stard but it wasn’t the word pommie I took offence at

@namaste I think some people take offence to the sweaty reference implying all Scots smell, I can understand that

I appreciate your logic but Aus are playing better than RSA and England where much better than Wales for 70 minutes even with the wrong side. It’s my 6 pence Wales have zero chance against Oz and if they try and front up they will be totally done in come the QF. Of course I also predicted England would win the group 😳

“Thanks for your contribution,now best get back under your rock,eh?”

sorry for any offence – too many years working with the military and living and working in a robust scottish environment.

England were better than Wales for 35 mins,after that they wilted. You need to catch up, it is all about why the charge on Brown was a red card now!

Crackingly sparky game between Fiji and Uruguay, loving the feisty spirit in this world cup, only spoiled by Paloma killing a great song!!

So, who we backing now then since the weekend’s events?

I’m looking for SA then NZ..

France, since I have £20 on them at 20/1.

Yes yes of course the game lasts 80 mins but it’s basic tactics and match play to close out such a game. It should have been a routine win. If Australia play as well again they will demolish Wales, they beat England with some very fine attacking play and not much we could have done tactically would have changed it. Game was already lost by the time of the Hooper / Brown incident. However well we played in the 2H Oz where not going to be held scoreless.

France are always fascinating to watch as you are never sure what side is going to turn up. Looking forward to Sunday, whoever wins is odds on to reach the semi, then who knows. For those two teams the dream is very much alive

Lol!

I think that’s old thinking as now France are just bish, bash, bosh and quite limited in many areas. Still they’ll beat Ireland who always choke.

They’d have ARG in the QF which, looking at them, is bloody far from a gimme. They’ve looked very strong IMO.

I am hoping Australia peaked with the england game 😆

Oh well at least Warbs wasn’t the last person to be red carded in a World cup as the Uruguayan scrum half managed to get binned slightly idiotically last night. Decent game the Uruguay vs Fiji one, Uruguay put up a really good effort.

I think they are a good bit better than wales, so an emphatic yes to that part.
Never mind the england game, that team has quality running through it, rugby champ winners, recent beating of NZ and they’ll be feeling pretty good with the beating of england and wales and a pretty decent route through to the final.
England have been in absolute disarray the whole tournament, and only lost to wales by 3 points.

Or looking at it from the Welsh perspective, England lost to a Welsh team who had the worst scrum of the 21st century and without key players in key positions. A team that beat England with 3rd choice subs on the field playing out of position, at Twickenham, with a ref who arguably should have given England another two yellows.

Lucky they weren’t playing against a decent Welsh team with a brave ref. 😉
