Scotland v Japan 2nd half was awesome (for us Jocks). Japan looked a bit tired and Scotland were making and taking opportunities, a solid defence for the Scots as well sealed the match.
Wasn't expecting that after Japan's defeat of SA. Nice to see a good Scotland team playing well.
Had a fun evening yesterday at the Australia v Fiji game. 67000in the crowd and it sounded like 60000 of them were shouting for Fiji.
Not sure where the "swing Low..." chorus came from towards the end...
Didn't see anything in the Aussie perforamnce to give Lancaster or Gatland anything to worry about. And the best news was the Aussies didn't get a try BP - could be crucial at the final reckoning!
It's the only song the English know..............I know all the hand gestures to the third line of the first verse.data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Watched the NZ game last night. Good first half but the second was dominated by collapsed scrums and referrals to the TMO. Before long some ref is going to ask the TMO if the sun is shining. I'm checking for a slight knock on, the grounding................did the front row fart in the faces of the second row. Of course they did!!
I'm not sure I'd want to watch a rugby (or football next season, for that matter) in that ground. Some of the seats looked a LOOOONNNNGGG way from the pitch!
Possibly the camera angles didn't help, but contrast to the Brighton ground that looked really compact and close-in....
Flaming Nora the Welsh beat England at Twickenham! What a long penalty kick..
We had it and threw it away. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I think that puts us out unless we beat Australia.
We, the English, should be bloody ashamed when it comes to sport. The pool of players England have to choose from in comparison to Wales, the latter should not be competing on the same level.
Absolutely fuming here. Well done Wales. You deserved it and I hope the Aussies knock us out next Saturday.
Oh how embarrassing!data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 shocking display.
What a fantastic game. England v Wales, best game so far? Gripping to the very end. Such a shame there were so many injuries. The contest between Mike Brown and Liam Williams was worth watching, world class fullbacks, I just hope Liam is not badly injured. Farrel versus Bigger, made your mouth water. Bigger to me was man of the match, not that I'm biased.
I thought England had won it when Warburton was pinged for not releasing. Replayed clearly showed he was not part of the tackle and legally played for the ball, 'Sam's luck', but Wales forced England into touch and we held out. But what a game. Off to take a blood pressure tablet now.

Just to rub in in boys bach. England 25 Wales 28. Arddechog.
We're not that bothered tbh, it doesn't mean as much to us as it does to you. Well done Wales you deserve the win but you've won nothing yet. Even we've won the world cup .
