What the gently caress was that from Cuthbert?
He is the shittest player I've seen for Wales since the 90s

It's a bit harsh as he's Cuthbert, everyone knows he can't catch.

I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.

It's ok, we now get the advantage of not having to field Alex Cuthbert.

Some amazing defence from 13 man Oz to win that one. There seems to be a lot of willingness by Wales but the execution was really lacking and they just couldn't score, it's something for Gatland and co. to look at before the Saffa game. I'm still pretty amazed Wales have gotten through this group.

So I'm kind of willing to say that aus are going to win the cup now because holy balls.

Also Wales are going to lose to South Africa by 1 point when Cuthbert literally waves his dick at the ref moments before the final whistle.

Add Jonathan Davies, Scott Williams, Rhys Webb and Halfpenny to that team and I'd be gutted to lose that game.
Take them out and Wales have overachieved this World Cup.

It would be worth it if Cuthbert doesn't play for Wales again.

Game of the tournament for me so far, it was all won with 15 mins of savage defending. Wales did seem to forget the simplest way to score a try though: just gently caress it out to the wings

E: and now to watch the English funeral march which I hear they couldn't give away tickets to heh

I was half tempted to go and mock them but there is a league game at old Trafford and I can't be arsed with that traffic.

Guscott talked about the 1995 3rd place play off being the worst game he ever played in. Imagine how much worse it's going to be for the England team going into this game.

No but that may not stop England from completing their descent into rugby shame.

They can't score tries, but they can certainly force and convert penalties.

-

If Uruguay can either :

Stay within 32 points of England

or

Score 16 points

or

Score a try

Then England will have put in the worst performance of any team in the group, and cannot possibly argue that they had any chance of qualifying for the knockout stages.

If Uruguay can somehow pick up a losing bonus point, then this is the darkest day in the history of English rugby.

Watching the games now via recordings - Scotland v Samoa was fantastic, 30 minutes in Wales v Australia is garbage.

So if England had drawn against Wales they would have qualified now.

That was a straight up terrible game sorry. I fastforwarded through all the breaks in play leaving about 10 minutes of actual gametime which mostly consisted of Welsh incompetency and decent Australian defence. Refer to Samoa v Scotland for an example of an actually good game of rugby.
