Rugby world cup

Gethin is a god

Well I’ve only just woken up and with that try and the previous pen, doesnt look too bad. And they haven’t mentioned england once.

Those big lumps don’t stand a chance one on one with the little wizard

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.

Nice kick through from Doctor Desperate Dan.

Taken the sting out of Samoa now.Bacon buttie anybody? EDIT EDIT EDIT….That was close!

Yeahh AA needs to send a written apology to Falataeu, nice save.

I think that may be it. Roll on a Wales Ireland QF 🙂

Nervous times.

Ok Wales. Just shut up shop now.

Yep, ball up the jumper now.

Woo. Great win.

Crikey. Exhausted!

A win is a win, but that wasn’t great. Samoa were very good, it must be said. Wales just too nervous or something.

Phew, that was uncomfortably close. 4th beer now, bugger

Now for the soap opera. Tindall spotted opening the envelope with divorce papers from Zara? Dwarf tossing as half time warm up for the subs?

On that evidence, my money would be on Ireland if we play them in the quarters.

I’m in the pub.

I’m in bed.

wales seem to like making life difficult for themselves, that was hard to watch as a welsh fan

OOps….

EDIT: or not…

I’m thinking no try.

Thats a hoodoo finaly slain.

That will do pig that will do

Georgia wasting possession. They should be going for their line-outs. Yellow card not far off for England surely.

Although after seeing Georgia’s line-outs, I’m not so sure now. 🙂

Well, two tries in, but it’s hardly exciting….

it’s too early to be exciting…

Yello card justified there.

I’m thinking try.

17:10 I would have taken that yesterday. Job done. Seems odd to pick Charteris and not throw the ball at him in the lineout and the Samoans did a great job at the breakdown by flooding past the tackle and not going through the gate, thereby stopping Wales getting to the tackle, fairly sure its illegal but the ref seemed to be just looking at the tackled player.

Yeahh AA needs to send a written apology to Falataeu, nice save

what for, falling on a loose ball? Still dont rate him, would have much preferred Ryan Jones at 8 in the last two matches, with Toby on the bench. His control at the base of scrum was poor, he’s not a lineout option, doesnt break tackles, runs into contact too upright close to the ruck, tackles tirelessly and works hard in rucks though. He will come good in time but currently lacks the power to play 8 at that level. Was great to see Gethin back, hopefully he can start the next two games and be ready for a 1/4 final. Fingers crossed Bennett and Lydiate recover because Burns is rubbish and Powell is still Powell

Fell asleep…just woke up in time to see card and try! Oops

the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half are going to be interesting to watch!

Georgian changing room will be happier at half time.

a_a still angry despite winning shocker. 🙂

AA, you meany. I thought he was good in this and the last game. It was more than falling on the ball he was watching like a hawk. Good sentry.

England. What did I say, we will look shit and just squeak it.(fingers crossed)

Second half looking good.

How many tries did Scotland let through against Georgia?

Englnd backs are looking good, forwards so so.

Its not even a full strenth Georgia side.

Georgia for the bonus point anyone 😀 Well maybe not but if the guy had taken his kicks then England would be behind.

On that evidence, my money would be on Ireland if we play them in the quarters.

Yeah Ireland if they play well are a slightly better team but Wales can beat them. I also wouldnt take that Wales performance as evidence, Samoa really do have the hoodoo on Wales.

Forgot to add in my last post that 1/2p looked much better than Hook at 15. He is willing to hit the line from deep which can help unlock a blitz defence, wonder how he’d cope if pressured by a good irish kicking game though?

That Georgian 7 and 8 look very impresive.

Front row are solid too.

AA, you meany. I thought he was good in this and the last game. It was more than falling on the ball he was watching like a hawk. Good sentry.

he’s a player in the making for sure I just think he is currently lacking composure and a bit of power. Dont think he has done the basic 8 work well enough, bit like when England have Hask at 8, he is good in defence, carries well in the open, but lacks control and power in close and England could do with the far less dynamic Pie Eater at 8.

Fitzpatrick just alluded to the decision to bring Thompson on and put 7 against 8 in a scrum on your own line. Crazy, no?

Another missed kick

Georgia look good.that has to be good for the world game.

Simon Shaw = awesome
