We missed Navidi badly Liam Williams, too. For all that 1/2p was fine with the high ball, in a game with so much kicking you want someone who is not only able to take the ball, but then has the vision and quality to do something with it. There must have been about 70 kicks in the game, and Wales ha...

We will get back to you as soon as the W :roll: elsh announce their team Jeez I don't want to come across as arrogant but other than maybe Alun-Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric?

And this.
Halfpenny is one of the most dependable full backs in world rugby. You people are stupid.

Dependably shit, yes

This. I’d honestly go Adams 15 and Lane straight in on the wing. Nothing to lose, such is the inevitable loss with Liam out and Halfpenny in.

What exactly are they saying? Devastating if true. Our attacking game plan is abysmal and there’s only one way we will score tries - individual brilliance from Liam, Josh and Gareth/Tomos. Take one of those 3 out and our chances drop by a third for me.

AB vs. Wales final coming up.
AB's have a 90% winning record in the last decade you bell end. I imagine they have good records with most refs.

So all the refs are in on it

because england have 2 semi finalists?

i dont think its fair they get 2 teams in the first place.

Ireland have 2 countries and neither have ever made a semi

I know we've had way to many of these threads already and I'm being tongue in cheek honestly. I just couldn't resist after seeing this picture on the PR homepage. If Kerevi was not carded, Australia may well have beaten Wales, matching us against France in the quarters, who we may well have beaten....

Jeez. Great start from Oz, yet they find themselves 14-3 down!

House of Rugby is always shite anyway. Too much lad's BANTA and glib high level pub discussion of the game, not enough actual analysis or insight. That's why it's an entertaining Podcast.

He is from SA right ?
And the winner will most likely face...SA

Which team do you think SA would prefer in the semi ?

France by 10

I must admit that this did immediately cross my mind when I saw he was reffing.

Did you see Japan v SA in the last World Cup? I won’t spoil it for you.

Japan have just beaten Scotland and Ireland convincingly, who are / were above SA in the world rankings. I don’t think it’s a stretch to think they could beat SA in the quarters now.

Australia and Ireland have no chance with NZ and England fresh after 2 week rest. Wales would have been heavy favourites, but the rest for France has evened that right up. Japan v SA I’ve a feeling will be a good match up if Japan can play like they did today. Incredibly clinical and consistently e...

I think the fact that 3 of the four quarters will each feature a team that has had a two week rest, whilst the others have been involved in attritional battles may well play its role

The only side at rwc 19 to clean sweep the pool if we win this.

Bare in mind that no side has ever one the cup who hasn’t before....

Really puts the ABs insistence on a 2 week rest before the quarters into perspective.

The option to play on Monday was not offered. It has been poo poohed. It was never on the table. NZ did not refuse it. NZ did not ask not to play. Indeed NZ asked if they could bring the game forward but were refused by WR. NZ had no part not play in any decision related to this game being played, ...

World Rugby has come out and categorically denied a Monday game between NZ and Italy was ever an option. But, by all means, continue with your reckons. :thumbup: No, they said it wasn’t an option because it could be detrimental to the preparation for the quarter final. That’s come from New Zealand ...

If Reece Hodge's tackle meets the red card threshold then this one sure as shit does! Unless gymnastic acts are some form of mitigation. The mitigation is that he didn’t land on his neck or head.
