Well played South Africa, had enough in the tank at the end of the game to take it.
Cuthbert must have played his last game in a Wales shirt?

So uh is that France story I saw true? The players mutinied against the coaching staff and are coaching themselves?

I was just saying that. I can't see him being trusted again if we ever have a choice.

sounds fairly likely for literally any french sporting group or team

was there anything about them splitting into cliques based on ethnicity and refusing to interact with each other

I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.
I can't remember exactly what my :toxx: was, but I know it's more complicated than putting a picture of Alex Cuthbert next to my name :{

Also, I'm worried Dan Biggar has gone back to the dressing room to literally kill either Priestland or Cuthbert. The constant camera cuts to his reactions really brought out his worst side, and reminded me why Biggar used to get boo'd by his own supporters.

Watching the game with a bunch of saffers, me buying one of them, that was intense. So intense I forgot to drink more than 2 beers (at 9 am). The Welsh came out playing better than expected and took us by surprise. I took one amazing try to actually win it. Hats off to the Welsh.
As for the french mutiny. It worked for them last world cup so might as well try it again

The post-match press conference explained that Biggar was ordered to take a concussion assessment test but refused to leave the pitch, which was why he was shown shouting at the physio.

When Priestland came onto the pitch, Biggar eventually left, but still refused to take the concussion test, and sort of sulked on the team bench, which is why everyone kept their cameras on him for his reactions.

I think, considering the circumstances, people will be more sympathetic to Biggar today.

Did Priestland do anything bad? He seemed fine. Cuthbert however...

For the first 10-15 minutes of the 2nd half I honestly thought Cuthbert was doing OK and would find his form again. Unfortunately it didn't turn out that way :(

I wish teams were allowed to challenge the haka, for the most part I don't see it as disrespectful so much as answering the challenge.... plus it usually backfires on the team anyway since New Zealand apparently gains insanity powers from the sacrilege and plays next level rugby out of spite.

I think the point forward triangle just isn't that impressive a formation to Haka in.

It would be worth the ensuing violence just to see one team do the macarena opposite them.

I don't think we'll ever know for sure if they'd have gone through with it, but the expectation is that if Wales got through, they were going to use their allotted time to sing Men Of Harlech either during or after the Haka.
