Why not? Wales knocked England out of their own world cup, in Twickenham, at the home of English rugby, when England were hosting the world cup and telling everyone that they back themselves at home.

As much you would like to think that, it was actually Australia that knocked England out. Mind you, reality is not really a strength for you.

Winning the group here in an enormous prize given your opponent will then be Argentina or Japan. You’re essentially putting a foot in the semis on current form

Fiji and OZ to qualify for me.
The noise coming out of the Welsh camp isn't good at all.

An aussie win could well knock Fiji out

[Guy Smiley]

There are reports coming out of Sydney stating Eddie has been negotiating with the Japan union for the head coach role… being interviewed just after arriving in Paris with the Wallabies to whom he is contracted for another 4 years.

It’d be hard to imagine anything worse than that coming out of the Welsh camp.

[C69]

Wales are very mentally fragile.
That is why they will lose. The weak mindedness was there against OZ last year and Georgia and Fiji.

I remember making this point a couple of weeks ago and being laughed out of Dodge. Nothing either Eddie or JRFU does would come as any surprise.

[C69]

God it is great to be looking g forward to a match rather than being a bag of nerves but pretending I am grand

Well I have no nerves at all as I truly feel we are a terrible team and will lose to OZ.

[ASMO]

Will it be Waltzing Matilda, or Santa Clause you bastard, where's my fucking bike?

[Paddington Bear]

Can’t quite work out what is the banter result here. Maybe a draw

I'd take a draw

I'd take a loss with 2 bonus points tbh
I think Wales will lose by 10 plus

[ASMO]

Naaa,it has to be an Australian loss and probable exit at the group stage resulting in that fucking chancer Jones getting the spanish archer

[C69]

Beard is such a fucking huge soft fanny, a physical specimen but soft as shit most of the time.

[el capitan]

For one night only, come on the Taffs.

[ASMO]

Beard is such a fucking huge soft fanny, a physical specimen but soft as shit most of the time.

Reminds me of Borthwick as a player, always tried to look and act tough, but in reality soft as shite. I believe Borthwick still is the only intl forward to have made negative yards in a game.

Beard needs a good sports psychologist, he has actually tuned up a few times but then goes missing for a fecking season.

[ASMO]

Too easy

[Paddington Bear]

Excellent training ground try

[TheNatalShark]

Due to wanting Fiji to progress, this must be probably the third time I've ever wanted Wales to win

[Tichtheid]

Lovely try Wales

[ScarfaceClaw]

Excellent training ground try

Last pass looked forward but if it sends Eddie home, it’s grand.

[Paddington Bear]

Another game where the organisers have failed to man the turnstiles properly, pathetic

[Torquemada 1420]

Did LRZ just make a tackle?

[ScarfaceClaw]

The Welsh are going to be fucked by the end of the match if they’re having to defend like that for long periods.

[ASMO]

Excellent training ground try

It really wasnt, but i agree with your overall sentiment

[Slick]

Great start!

First thoughts, Donaldson is a class player, he is also not a 10

[Niegs]

Excellent training ground try

Thought so too (on both points! :D ), angling out and passing back in so difficult not to throw forward. Looked just a tad on review, but getting hit makes it tricky to tell for sure.

[Torquemada 1420]

Another game where the organisers have failed to man the turnstiles properly, pathetic

Possibly. But that's just a presumption at this stage. LOU's stadium is a long way out so it's possible that some fans left it too late to get there.

[Torquemada 1420]

Great start!

First thoughts, Donaldson is a class player, he is also not a 10

Not impressed me in Soup and even the mediocre Tahs let him go.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Biggar off with a duff shoulder and in comes the Welsh Matt Damon.

[C69]

Wales fecked now Chicken is not fit

[Slick]

Great start!

What position does he play in Soup? Thought he looked classy at 15

He was at FH.

I hope someone screamed at him to get the fuck off the ground.

[Torquemada 1420]

Poor miss.
