[Cardiffblue]

wales should put the best team left alive out against fiji and play the ystradgynlais second XV for the Australia game

Why do you wanna finish second?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^^^^^^^^^^^^ pretty risky, what if Poms beat Wobs by >7? Surely Gats will stitch something together for Fiji & give as many guys as possible the extra week to recover (I'm assuming you've lost at least one player today, possibly two).

Cos I dont think we'll have any choice

true. Ok. Need a rethink before I message Gatland with that idea!

An Orc win may have built in a bit of complacency for them for our game against them tho?

Australia just need to do what wales did. Throw the structured game and positional kicks out the window. Believe in themselves an go for it. Cant wait

This will undoubtedly be very unpopular, but Australia are beatable. Wales can have them. Depending on injuries, of course.

I was sitting in a pub in the lovely town of Rugby watching the game with some locals. One of them piped up and said that we didn't think any team was a threat to England. Well apart from the blokes who beat you tonight eh mate? That was so good. The Poms could go out next week if we play anything near our best footy.

 

[Cardiffblue]

Well thanks bois on GaGR. You were great to share that with! I'm gonna trawl through the whole match spoiler on Gwlad now and then try and meet up with the welsh friend who went down Star City to watch who sounds extremely pissed.

Theres gonna be thousands of pissed welsh in london who dont care that the last train left paddington at 10

but we've come bloody close 10 times. and we just beat one team of self made favourites

Looking back at the game the replacement of Ben Youngs early in the 2nd half was a pretty big turning point.

think Lancaster bombed the interchanges completely

I assume the pun is intended

just watched third orc penalty again. Australia are gonna have to have words with ref before Mahler is allowed to pack at that angle again. Garces needs to do better at scrum time

not that subtle eh?

 

[Mr Doug]

This is some scary injury list.


And 2 hard matches still to come.

Surely it's time to add some players named Thomas to the squad?! (Just like the 'good old days')!

 

[Mr Doug]

The final 20 minutes of that match will go down in RWC history as being among the best ever. It's yet another example of why we all love Rugby.
