England v Wales in the RWC this evening.
Huge huge game today.
I'm already incapable of concentrating on anything else today. Am even about to help my son clean out his gerbils in the hope it might distract me. May start drinking at 9.30am if that doesn't work.
infiltrate a number of rugby watching mates on the pretext tha they're
bringing their kids. So it'll be men drinking and watching rugby and
women running around after rug rats in the kitchen/garden. And yes I know - he's 1 so hasn't a clue it's his birthday. I wanted to ignore it but society "demands a do""
Personally, I think you Saes are favourites.
Our injury hit front row will struggle in the scrum. I think our match 15 can cope with our injuries to our backs (Halfpenny and Webb), and Lancaster's selections in the midfield help us AFAIC, but as we now have zero decent cover on the bench, we may struggle in the last 20 minutes.
England by 2 scores.
(Or maybe that's the other way around...)

(I rate him as a player, but not as a human being.)
I think the Welsh performance contributed somewhat to the victory (there was some good decision making and execution in our try), but yes, I'd agree that English ill-discipline was a significant contributing factor too. Had they showed more composure and played more to their potential for the full 80, England probably could have won. Fitness...?
Yes. I think that was a mistake. As a Welshman I was relieved to see them kicking to touch.
A mistake compounded by the mistake of throwing to the front of the resulting lineout which made it very easy for the Welsh to push the resulting maul into touch.
Tbh it's the sort of end-of-game-pressurised-brainfarts that I'm used to witnessing from the Welsh, so I can empathise.
Disappointing (though fair) that we didn't get the bonus point.
That might yet come back to bite us on the bum!
As long as you're not too mocking in your behaviour. :-S
O:-)
We are over-coached and out-thought. Injuries were significant in so far as we would have probably done somewhat better with Jonathan Davies, Scott Williams and Leigh Halfpenny available, but basically we are still off-the-pace when it comes to southern hemisphere sides. Somehow our brand of solid defence and physicality can do the job against European teams, but we lack the flair and nouce to seriously trouble Oz, NZ and SA.
