It was really weird there was a delay before people started celebrating because they were so confused at what he did.

Japan deserved to win by more.
After the first three of four phrases we lose all attacking shape. Our kicking game has gone to shit too. We used to be the best at box kicking and contesting the ball, but we don't do it any more. We defend stupidly narrow too.
Thankfully we should still qualify, but we'll lose heavily to whoever we play unless we drastically change things.

I'm disappointed. If it isn't going to be England winning any WC I'd like it to be Ireland. But this isn't the first time they've come into the tournament and not delivered. Hopefully it's a blip, but they need to kick themselves up the arse.

No issues with Ireland at all.
But they really do have a habit of failing to turn up for World Cups and this is just another example.
Will be interesting to see how they react now.

Think if (when) England don't win it, Ireland would be who I'd want to win.
Anyone but Wales really ?

Yeah don't think he was playing for the bonus point either. Was very odd.

Seemed like a rush of blood to me. Not sure what he was doing. Do they have that gong thing at every game because I didn't hear it in that one.

Playing against the home nation is difficult in any sport. It was always going to be a tricky game and they played like it was their last game they'd ever played. We were poor but made a whole load of changes too. Still plenty of games to go.

Samoa v Scotland suddenly becomes a very important game.
Samoa might smell blood after that Scotland performance v Ireland. I suspect they won't be able to go the distance, but you'd certainly fancy them to score a few points.

Yeah, should be a good game. Scotland would’ve got a boost from that Japan result too, though. Most interesting group so far for sure as all the teams, bar Russia, have a great chance.
I fancy Scotland to beat Samoa, though, even without Watson. Scotland v Japan is the last match, can’t wait for that one.

Expecting Samoa to be blood and thunder for 60 mins and then run out of gas. If Scotland can contain them for an hour they should get home fine.

Hmmmm....Hooper has really got away with that one for me.
Wales playing a lot smarter. Aussies don’t seem at the races yet, in fact they’re almost approaching ‘all over the place’ levels.
Assuming we can win our group, I think we’ll give the Aussies plenty of trouble

Wales' scrum looks hugely under-powered.
