Hindsight is 20/20 vision. Had the Scarlets playing a good brand of rugby. Sometimes things don’t go as they should.
Social media lively today,mainly England fans and a few bitter Fijians . Well xxxx em Yep,we were fortunate,and that’s a novelty for us. Wales lucky! As for cheating and gamesmanship…Bokke and All Blicks have always done that to perfection.McCaw spent his career offside and the assaults deemed as part of the game Just xxxxoff.
Biggar. My Gid,a real warrior who wants to win. He swears and shouts at his teammates . Wow.

Jack Morgan no captain for me though
Fantastic entertainment
Hard to disagree with any if that. Wales were very lucky to keep the full 15 on at the end with the number of transgressions. No one could have argued against a penalty try. Thankfully Wayne Barnes wasn’t the main man last night I’d say😁

It’s about time Wales had some luck. Having witnessed refereeing decisions at Anfield (77) and that night in CRdiff when Stein died, we are well overdue . Fiji will cause Australia much trouble and I believe they will beat them.
Meanwhile England fans laud their win by the boot over a mysterious Argentina .

There's a degree of truth to that but we learnt the hard way in 2007 in similar circumstances. We've no doubt. Paid out more than if we'd just given Shaun Edwards a 4 year deal

This is true.
Warburton sent off in semi-final another. Ben and Rambo banned for semi in Euro16.
It is always the Refs fault when we lose and now its the Refs fault when we win lol but he was one of the reasons this game was a barnburner, glad it was him in charge.

What a fantastic Uruguay performance, however rugby is eating itself with pathetic law changes.
Can you elaborate on that, in my opinion the French player should have been red carded, his teammate had tackled the Uruguayan player and he came in with no intention of wrapping his arms around the tackled player and smashed him in the chops, red card all day.
From around 1,12 in he extends his arm out which smashes the top half of his arm and shoulder bang into the chops of the player, there's little doubt that, that's red
Not the decision making on the pitch, the rule changes such as kicking out from a ruck or mail or the disqualification of the Uruguay try for one step out of place in the build up. Penalising for not immediately releasing the ball in the tackle is another game spoiler.
It’s nonsense.

Tremendous advert for the game Great win but make no mistake we were lucky Last 15 mins again could have ended up like that Australia capitulation Gatland right not to be happy Tomkins outstanding but not rated by many He is utter class and why he is not captain beats me Jac is too quiet Biggar still thinks he is
Nice to see set pieces solid and both hookers go well Faletau looked like he's not played in months and Wainwright blown off too many times
Fiji might well beat the convicts
As long as we beat the Aussies it won't matter.
Biggar was brilliant and if he gets mouthy because his team mates make silly mistakes or very poor decisions then good on him for having high standards.

Agree in your Biggar comment though we seem to be in the minority.

Anyone who has played a team sport knows yiu have to have a Biggar in the ranks,a hobby,confrontational,warrior who won’t lie down or accept mistakes especially dumb ones like running the ball from under the posts when no need.

Not confident we would beat the convicts ,it’s why I feel uncomfortable wanting them to beat Fiji as it would help us . There again,the Fiji love in is tiresome. I’m away for the Oirish v Saffa game and hitherto would want the Bokke to beat them as they are insufferable ( to me) but being on a Facebook site ( just for @ wind up) the Bokke fans really are super arrogant eclipsing even the precious all blicks,never knowingly genuinely beaten fairly .

Yes a little bit of perspective. We played well against Fiji but at the end of the day it was Fiji. Ranked higher than us and very dangerous but still Fiji. The Aussies will be a different kettle of fish. They have some extremely talented players. They will beat Fiji.

But what if they don't? Sometimes the unthinkable does happen.

Just watched the incident, definite red card for a tackle to the head with his shoulder, no attempt to use his arms.
These are the sorts of tackles in both codes that need eradicating from the game, RL are all over it and it seems that RU don't seem to have a clue.
Similar tackle last night in NZ v Namibia game and the yellow dished out to the NZ prop was rightly upgraded to a Red.
The game doesn't need inconsistencies in these sort of instances its madness, and unfortunately there was a Welshman involved in that decision the night before, typically
I’m attempting to watch this game, it’s dreadful, hoofing the ball 50 yards in he air every other minute. Turning it over to the Newcastle Brentford game.
