Corey Allen off injured.

I got the pack weights off the screen. Definitely Wales heavier.

You are probably right - only saw the pack weights once & will admit that I am not focusing 100% on the match as its not close enough to get that much of my attention.

FT Wales 54-9 Uruguay
Eight tries. Slight slaughter.

Not impressed with the Welsh scrum and the lineout wasn't contested.
Wales injury list growing.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Not the best game for Wales to start with - no real contest after the first few minutes.

Doubt they learnt anything from that game

I'm easily impressed and the Haka still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

Whilst I agree, it does sometimes give them an advantage going into the game & they really don't need that

 

[Dinowolf]

NZ now got two in the bin

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Come on Argentina!

 

[Dinowolf]

HT NZ 12-13 Argentina

This is why I don't have a problem with England's fans singing Swing Low during the Haka.

 

[Dinowolf]

FT NZ 26-16 Argentina

Well played Argentina but NZ ground out a win.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Cory Allen confirmed as out for the tournament.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Wales are not having much luck with injuries. I hope they have plenty of players on stand by.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Last time I looked it wasn't a long trip from Wales so they have everyone qualified on standby

 

[Parkins left foot]

The benefit of a UK tournament is that the home nations have standby players close at hand - still suspect that Wales would rather have the original first picks available

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Can't wait to see Wales, and Scotland get hammered, followed by Paddy's meltdown of my proportion.

I support 3 rugby teams England and anyone playing Wales, and Scotland
I support 4 Football teams Wolves, England, anyone playing Scotland, and Wales.

It will be hilarious watching Wales get humped in France next year

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Love you too Glasgow xxx

 

[Dinowolf]

Joseph is a doubt for England on Saturday with a chest injury.

Chance for Slade?

 

[North West Wanderer]

Burgess more like. Although I really like Slade. I thought Barritt was average on Saturday too

 

[Tredman]

burgess and Barritt would be a shocking partnership.

Needs to be slade / Farrell / ford with burgess or Barritt. Slade and Barritt would be my choice, though quite like the idea of ford and Farrell interchanging with Burgess next to them.
