This would be a perfect World Cup win beating both Australia and New Zealand... no one couldn’t say we didn’t deserve it if we did it 

 

1. Nobody can say you don't deserve it whoever you beat. You don't get free world cups. If you win it you win it. 

 

2. Australia are gash tbf.

Best of luck to Wales today - would like to see an all-NH final even if I think that England might struggle more with Warrenball than with the Saffers style of play.

 

A fully fit Wales on form can be England's kryptonite. 

 

Wales missing Hill, Anscombe, Navidi, Williams, Faletau and quite possibly Davies, with Parkes playing injured though necessity and on our current form? 

 

If we somehow miraculously get through today with both a win and nobody else hurt we're still going to be a much better prospect for England than a 100% South Africa.

Didn't know your injury list was that long, bloody hell.

 

Point taken, then.

Yeah we've been without Anscombe, Hill and Faletau for the tournament. Faletau missed the six nations but we had Navidi filling in who was the find of the world cup cycle, he's been utterly superb. One of the form loose forwards in world rugby. Now he's crocked too. 

 

Liam Williams is a huge loss and if Jon Davies doesn't make it he will be too. 

 

If you asked most neutral rugby fans to name Wales five best players they'd probably give you: AWJ, Davies, Navidi, Williams, Faletau of which only AWJ is fully fit. 

 

We go through this seemingly every four years. 2015 was nuts, people were dropping like flies but I'd say this year has been worse. We just cannot cover those sorts of losses, we don't have the strength in depth being such a small country.

I know in the modern game, most players try to play the ref, but there seems to be a lot of shouting at and gesturing at the ref during play, from both sides.

 

I don’t like it, whoever does it.

South African 9 is particularly bad, especially in the break down he's there pointing and shouting of all the offences he's seen
