Aussies missed a trick on more than occasion, props to Wales. First ten minutes ended up making all the difference.

You can’t start these big games slowly and grow into them.

After watching that not sure who I’d prefer in the next round now...assuming we get through of course

Fun game. God damn shane williams is the michael owen of rugby commentating though. My heart sinks every time I realise I have to sit through another 80 mins of him droning on.

Biggar failed the HIA. Fingers crossed he’s ok for Fiji though Patchell did well today.

Apparently the France v USA game is in danger of being abandoned due to weather. If it is the result goes down as a 0-0 draw. Would be gutting for France if the weather does result in the game being abandoned.

It was definitely cynical as Sam Warburton just said, he knew exactly what he was doing, and Hooper lives that kind of shit but if he had tackled him normally I think I would’ve said a pen was harsh. It was borderline, with regards to it’s lateness.

The lateness was borderline but the fact that he led with the shoulder and made no attempt to initiate a proper tackle is indisputable IMO. Baffling decision not to give a yellow. Makes you wonder what they're watching.
