England Vs. Wales - Your Predictions...

[Mull]

England now have to beat Australia next game which will be hard, or we are out of the competition. Well, thats how it is. C'mon England, lets beat the Aussies...

 

 

Is that a big ask? Aussies always a top team afaik, but not a big rugger fan myself. Enjoyed this tournament so far though, exciting stuff at times.

Well played Wales, gritty stuff.

England beat themselves, dishing out 3 points here and there like confetti.

Looked like a load of 8 year-olds who don't understand the basic laws of the game in the breakdown at times.

I think that England spent the last 10 mins thinking about Australia rather than the Welsh who have a passion and determination that should never be ignored . Lesson learn t I wonder ?

Well I suppose I had better support England against Australia now then

Spot on Mark, i think that every time the Welsh ventured into the English half they came away with another 3 points.

Apart from Brown and Farrell, we were **** in the second half - completely different from the first half.

And wtf didn't they kick for points in the last 3 minutes. The way the Welsh were defending there was no way we were going to get the try......................oh god, my rage shakes are coming backkkkk

After a ten point lead into the second half England probably felt it was all theirs.... but yeah, the Welsh always push as hard as they can and that relentless determination won them the game.

 

I'm 75% English and 25% Welsh, we've only lived in Wales for a few years - something that has become very clear to me is how proud the Welsh are to be Welsh.

You can see that shine through in the way they play rugby (even though they usually tend to lose).

 

England should take the same Welsh determination to the Australia game.

cheers, steve

First priority for any team is getting through the group stage.

Finishing top of the group is not necessarily the best option, especially with Japan beating the saffa's.

I have discovered a suitable pic to offer my sympathies to those unfortunate enough to have been spawned on the wrong side of Offa's Dyke........

I watched the match in the Prince of Wales , Cardiff city centre last night, 200 metres from the Millenium Stadium. The atmsophere was amazing, the packed pub just errupted when Wales scored a try, even the English supporters cheered, thats sportsmanship.
