Rugby world cup thread

I agree England have a very poor team and have no chance of winning the world cup.
Just be aware that Wales doesn't either
But as I said previously, well done Wales, you beat England fair and square

Good one
I'll come back after the final.
This wasn't the final was it?

Swing low, sweet chariot.......

Oh f***, a wheels just fallen off.

You'll be hard pressed to watch a test match as so well balanced as that. Wales have a mountain to climb regarding injuries, one of the reasons the English press wrote the Dragons off. The young centre Tyler Morgan may get his moment in the sun, an outstanding prospect (my grandsons are named Tyler and Morgan......an omen perhaps?).

I hope they've got boots, gibbsy. We're going to need them soon at this rate.

I think James Hook will have to be called as a 12. Matthew Morgan is a pretty good full back, plenty of attacking flair maybe not so good in defence. However Morgan should be an unknown entity so that the opposition might not know what he is going to do, mind you his own team mates might be in the dark over that, just make sure someone is on his shoulder in attack. I'm a big fan of Morgan.

Congrats to Wales on the win, huge result. Still hopeful from an English point of view though. The last time Australia beat us in a WC match was the 91' final and we've won 4 of the last 5 friendly meetings too. I remember the QF in 07' when we were totally unfancied to win but managed to dig it out.

As an impartial observer I have a feeling England will beat the Aussies.

Job done for Ireland this evening. Great to see Tommy Bowe back playing well and Healy getting a good run out.

I think Ireland will take this World Cup.
