Decent score. Of course the All Blacks put 50 plus on that Boks side.

 

[Tredman]

Fully expect Wales to put 50+ past Argentina today too.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I dunno whether I do. Last week was a monumental set back for Wales and I think we are going to struggle horribly.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wales played OK first half, can't finish though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Its a bit bloody pedestrian for me.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That is an incredibly generous try award by the TMO. Wales look like pulling away now but really not convinced that wasn't a double movement.

 

[Dinowolf]

Argentina pull it back to 1 point and are now back to full strength.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So Wales go and score another try at will

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Consistent from the TMO. Dodgy Welsh try balanced by dodgy Argentinian try. I wouldn't have given either score.

 

[Dinowolf]

Now a generous try to the Argies. Fair enough, I suppose. 1 point game again.

 

[Dinowolf]

Wales did what they had to do, and won.

 

[Tredman]

Wales did well I thought, looked quite attacking and dangerous at time.

Of course all blacks put 57 past Argentina a few weeks ago

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wales aren't kidding themselves about being at the all blacks level.

 

[Paul]

Of course all blacks put 57 past Argentina a few weeks ago

I see what you did there

 

[Tredman]

I see what you did there

Wait, what?

Wales aren't kidding themselves about being at the all blacks level.

You should be aspiring to be there, else what's the point in competing?

 

[Dinowolf]

The All Blacks lose a match and then the country is hit with devastating earthquakes.

Commiserations to all concerned.

 

[Dinowolf]

Billy doubtful and Attwood out for Fiji game.

 

[Dinowolf]

After waiting for updates on injuries, EJ has announced this team to play Fiji

England: 15 Alex Goode, 14 Semesa Rokoduguni, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Owen Farrell, 11 Elliot Daly, 10 George Ford, 9 Ben Youngs, 1 Mako Vunipola, 2 Dylan Hartley, 3 Dan Cole, 4 Joe Launchbury, 5 Courtney Lawes, 6 Chris Robshaw, 7 Teimana Harrison, 8 Billy Vunipola.

Replacements: 16 Jamie George, 17 Joe Marler, 18 Kyle Sinckler, 19 Charlie Ewels, 20 Nathan Hughes, 21 Danny Care, 22 Ben Te'o, 23 Henry Slade.

 

[Tredman]

England 12 up before 10 mins are gone, this could get messy.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wales v Japan is a decent enough contest.
