Come on Wales
Yup, not often I get to say that!
Typical Wales of last five years against Southern hemisphere really, a heroic failure!

Not really that heroic. They were playing against 13 at one point. Although it was unbelievable defence from Australia, Wales only have themselves to blame.Yup, not often I get to say that!

Works for New Zealand.
Its absurd, New Zealand are far better than us and Rugby Union is the national sport over there.
Couldn't really care anyway, world cup interest is over. Funny how all the purist rugby fans though get on there high horse when other take an interest in the world cup though.
Heard the other day, someone defending the policy using the argument of why ruin the long term future of club rugby in England for the sake of winning a world cup, apparently we just don't understand the longer term picture.
The football team get a lot more support than the rugby team overall.
But the percentage of those who get behind the football team, compared to those who don't, is much lower, I find.
I've even spoken to football fans who don't care about the England team![]()
There's a fair few on here.
Apparently there were wild celebrations in some Irish pubs after Ireland beat France

Yes, exactly. City can always have another go again at getting promoted the following season. The World Cup only comes round once every 4 years.I'm one. Really have no passion about England whatsoever. If somebody asked me whether I wanted City to get promoted this season or England to win the next Euros and World Cup, it's an absolute no brainer.

Have to admit wingy I'd forgotten all about Argentina but even though the Irish had top players out,the Puma's looked strong and will take some beating.Up next are the Aussies v Scotland which should see a comfortable win for Australia.Wow the Puma's.
What a game.
How long is this bloody thing on for?
My comfortable win for Australia nearly left me red faced as the Scotland team played great and lost out to a dodgy refereeing decision.If the Aussies don't up their game next week against the Argies they will not make the final.I'm going for a New Zealand v Argentina final.
Fair comment Otis but the Scottish players were there to pick up on the Aussie errors. You say the final will be between New Zealand and Australia but I disagree as I can see Argentina beating the Wallabies.But the favourites to lift the trophy and I can't see anybody beating them will be the All Blacks.Not having a go at the Scots for a second, but they were gifted 2 tries.
They played out of their skins though.
It will be an Australia v New Zealand final I'm sure.

I like the way Argentina took their football outfits and just turned the stripes into hoops. Aren't Australia and New Zealand so good because their domestic leagues are so much stronger?
I thought the commentary team were very disengenous towards Argentina. It was nearly all about tired Ireland and mistake ridden Ireland and missing players Ireland.
Argentina were magnificent. Think playing like that they would in all likelihood beaten any of the home nations.
agree, better team by far.
Scotland played superbly and a really harsh way to get knocked out of the world cup
