did anyone see what that last scrum penalty was for? Pythagoras got popped and was complaining to the ref - surely if he stood up it should be a penalty to Wales?

that was nearly game over for Wales.

nice clearing kick - got 50m off that. Wallabies would be lucky to make the 40m line!

shithouse passing by Wales led to that turnover and loss of pressure. England then give away a stupid penalty allowing Wales to clear

the prop with the blond mohawk is off and Pythagoras is on for England.

wtf? why kick the ball in that situation?

still not rolling away but another 3 coming up for Wales. 6 times now apparently.

how many more flops by England before the ref pulls out a yellow?

HT England up 16-6. A few observations - ref not pulling England up for not scrumming straight. There was an early penalty against Wales for going early which may be affecting the timing of their engage as they avoid same penalty. Though on that scrum it seemed to be an overly long call to set...

He won't be playing in the Japanese comp though. He will be playing Super Rugby for the Japanese team.

Will Beecroft be going up or will they be allowed to remain in fourth division?

Any Brumbies fans / Canberra locals rate Matt O'Connor as a coach? He was with the Vikings IIRC in the 2007 ARC and around the super rugby team for a few years. What is the perception of his coaching skills? I do recall rumours he had trouble fitting his massive ego through the door.

Didn't lilo play fullback for the Brumbies back in the Gitteau days? Can anyone confirm? If so, how did he go?

Excellent news if true Knuckles. I was hoping with all the in-game promotion of the NRC that they would be showing that as well. Hopefully they will do so next year.

I'm not sure about the Genia box kick but I still cannot fathom how badly the match officials stuffed up practically handing the game to England. Firstly you had the Pom fullback catching the penalty kick for touch with both feet on or over the sideline - 5 metres out from their tryline. In the...

Scrubber, no it didn't we finished fourth at that world cup after losing to France in the semi and Wales in the play-off.

p.Tah, yes it is on Sunday mornings (at 11am) before their league show. Phil Waugh and a 2GB hack are hosting the show.

Not sure where else to put this but has anyone had the opportunity to listen to 2GB's Rugby Show on Sunday mornings? Is it worth a listen? This week's guest was Nathan Gray.

Genia, Douglas, Foley, McMahon, Smith, Speight, Tomane IN

Unless they got Richard Graham for a bargain basement price with the sole intention of hiring a more experienced coach after the RWC? A Warren Gatland type perhaps?
