Didn’t see much of the games, but I’m left wondering if wales are good or Australia dreadful.

That has to be one of the worst results for the wallabies ever, right? Even if we assume wales are coming in to form at just the right time.

Edit: am I super tired or did wales not get the BP?

Edit edit: what I did see of the wales game, the Australian players looked absolutely gassed at the half hour mark. That and the injuries they seem to get on training makes me question their strength& conditioning set up.

Welsh defence was ferocious. Same old game plan, keep the ball in play and defend hard.

Australia look like a team which hasn't built in any direction and they just fell apart as they got more desperate.

I'm not sure players want to play for Eddie either. Not a happy camp.

Communication breakdown on that line-out!

Oz failing to communicate in many areas it seems. Wales are not the team to win the cup, this will sting

Eddy and makeup, name a better combination!

Eddy and a big red clown nose?

Lol, that was amazing when Gatland did it!

I wonder what that card decision that went past full time will be ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Shame we didn't get the full angles. Yellow seems right though, big dip

Starting late today. Looks like Tonga is holding out better vs Scotland. Hope they can maintain.

Seems like Australia are the betting favorite against Wales? But Wales is top of their pool at the moment. Should be a good match!

Australia just took a battering

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Tonga got lucky that card wasn’t upgraded to a red. They have also responded well in the second half so far
