The real question is would ITV have shown the dropped ball if it was an England try.

Why do they always insist on trying out new referee directives in the first few games of the World Cup?
We all know by the 3rd week they'll be ignoring the poo poo out of all the things penalised in the first 2.

I thought Canada were supposed to be half-decent.
They're going to struggle to win a game on this showing.

Still think they should do a Plate and Bowl competition, would love to see the likes of Georgia, Tonga and Canada playing each other.
Play the games before the Cup Semis and Final.

Someone said Ireland were the 2nd or 3rd best team in the world at the moment and I laughed.
Considering how poo poo the bokke have been I think they might have a point.

The betting had South Africa -42.5 points at the start of the game.

Fair loving play to not go for the draw was incredible.
Fully deserved.

Three of our 5 props went off with suspected injury, and if Jarvis it actually injured, Wales need to call up a hooker. At what point do we call Adam Jones?

Corey Allen is definately, absolutely out for the rest of the tournament, and it looks like we also need to cover Liam Williams at full-back. At what point do we call for.. The man?

Adam is shot, there's no way he is fit enough.
There have been whispers of the H word but Gatland would rather play 14 than select him.

We're hosed basically.

I thought the Italian scrum half was sketchy but the way he drew the attackers was a perfect illustration of a miss pass.

I don't know if Wales can survive winning any more matches. Predicting them to beat Australia with 14 men left standing on the field.

If Australia beat England I don't think we'll even turn up against them.
Second and an extra week's rest will do instead.

Australia must be the unluckiest pack in the world.
Each team they come up against refuses to take the hit and the poor dabs look like they push early every loving scrum.

So sad.

Kick a man in the head in a recklessly dangerous challenge - a warning

Tip tackle - 1 week ban.

World Rugby needs to either give a poo poo about player safety or stop pretending with these inconsistent bans.

It wasn't even that much of a tip tackle

Was a bit brutal though.

What's the reason for Wales not playing in red today? I take it they're classed as the home team because they're listed first, and there's no colour clash with Fiji... just feels weird to put us in alternate colours at home for no reason, unless it's out of spite. I always presume spite.
