They got f*cked up by the first decent side they came up against.
Congratulations to Australia, a real Rugby nation.  |
We talking about England or Wales here Chris? Only one team they completely humiliated. |  | | |

These minnow sides like Namibia can't be enjoying themselves. The Pumas are thrashing them at half time.
Time to cull the number of teams down to 4 groups of 4? |  | | |

No mun, have to try and expand the game. Look at Japan. They've had loads of humpings but this effort will increase the playing numbers hugely...and in 8-12 years maybe look out. If it ever took off in the usa or china the powers that be could kiss heir asses goodbye. Its the only thing that can stop England eventually dominating and nobody, except a few thousand braying Timothy's, wants that. |  |

Didn't our front row and scrum do rather well yesterday? And didn't Australia have to change their entire front row after 65 minutes? |  | | |

It was sheer bloody effort from both sides yesterday. All did well despite the lack of "flair" some are upset about. | | | |

Indeed they did.
There have been former All Blacks and Francois Pienaar saying that Wales are the fittest team in the world and that's what carried them through despite the massive injury list in the final quarter against England. |  |

Honest question. Do you think those boys would be the shape they are if Gatland wanted them to have the physique of the Southern Hemisphere teams?
Conditioning is a massive part of any top level rugby team, especially with him in charge. If he wanted them to be leaner and quicker with more stamina, at the expense of being easier to push backwards, they would be, or he would bring other players in. | | | |

Things I've learnt today.
Pizza does not exist in Australia.
Gatland doesn't bother with that fitness nonsense. |  |

Something I just learned was that yesterday was the first time since 1999 that Wales didn't score a try.16 years, that's incredible. | | | |

In a world cup game you mean? Hardly incredible mun, we've only played group games and a couple of knock outs, maybe 7-8 games against decent sides. When the Grand Wizard Jenkins was in charge in 2007 in the 6N we couldn't even score a try against Scotland. Now that IS incredible. | |

Depends on who's available. Do you fancy a game?
Yes is the answer. They are no great shakes and we've beaten them twice in the whole history of rugby union after all. | |

As a team, we re fit ,some very much so and brave beyond the call of duty but to suggest two thirds of our front row are fit enough aint for me.
Why are props replaced after 60 mins.
The likes of Windsor, Faulkner and Pricey would have had to be shot to be taken from the field of play. | |

They play until they are knackered and then get replaced. Australia did the same thing. You could put a more athletic guy in there to last 80 minutes, but he would probably get bullied all game. I'm not a conditioning expert, but he has clearly gone for power and weight ahead of finesse. He would have had both options. | | | |

Game has changed, Richie - those three would have been f*cked by half-time. |  | | |

Faulkner was about 50 wasn't he? And the duke smoked 60 a day. 10 minutes today and they'd have to bring on an oxygen tent.
Anyway, anyone watching the 'worlds best referee' (copyright, himself) awarding a stream of bullshit penalties to his little friends in green? | |

Looks like Sexton and O'Connell are injured for some time. I think the latter was planning on one more season with Toulon | | | |
| The Official Rugby World Cup Thread on 17:44 - Oct 11 with 1082 views | perchrockjack |
Phil.
Few modern day props would have sorted price Charlie or Windsor if they were of same era.
Bad loser ? I wish we all were bad losers.
Sadly kids are becoming soft and it starts in school.
It's a tough world out there and there are winners and losers.
Finally, talent wise , every single one of our great 70 era players are better than what we have now | |
