RWC 2019 - Other Sides

[Munsterboy]

Still can't believe that "tackle" against SA was deemed legal. Would be a red card at this RWC.

Indeed! Mind boggling!

Just installed acestream on the phone and joined KT's stream as was watching on French TV but the commentary team on TF1(who only show the RWC and never any other rugby) were annoying me with their sycophantic drooling over the ABs. ITV commentary team not much better. Jesus, Canada are 22nd in the world, of course the ABs are going to play well. Cool your jets FFS. Rant over!

Players look like they just stepped out of the shower. ABs just knocked on in goal and then in midfield under no pressure whatsoever. Maybe not the smartest decision to hold a RWC in a country during monsoon season.

I think todays match is being played on Kyushu. They don't have much of a dry season there.

The All blacks could easily have had another 5 Try’s if they weren’t playing in such slippery conditions.

Fiji got a 45-10 BP win over Georgia to basically qualify for 2023 barring any crazy results. The Uruguay defeat killed any chances of making the QF. They may be a dangerous opponent for the Welsh who need a max 7 points to top their pool.

Whats that about qualifying for the 2023 world cup?
top 3 in each group qualify?

Yup, top 3 in each group automatic for 2023.

Fiji don’t have a kicker, Wales will be fine if they keep it tight.

We have a good chance

Barnes with some dodgy decisions against the Italians, they're 10-3 down after 25min.

SA maul one over. 17-3... tough game for Italy now.

South Africa not looking like world beaters here to be honest.

Italy are trying to go through them, which is easier said than done. Variety in attack and more kicks/chips over the top may be what's needed against this SA defense.
