Did Wales kick too much? I was expecting a bit more running from them. Played into Argentina hands IMHO.
Right, now on to the main event

Had to laugh. Sat in Newport Golf Club at lunchtime today. One of the blokes said to me, "I assume you'll be supporting Wales?"
I replied, "No chance, I hope you get done by 50 points."
To say he took offence is the understatement of the year. Then he asked why.... well, I said, "Are you supporting England tomorrow?
You can imagine the reply!
Anyway, I'm sat here laughing my blooming head off!!

Indeed, great for the game. I noticed one of the Argentinian players in the stands was in tears near the end, shows how much it means to them

Truthfully Wales are pretty much my least favourite rugby team. For a long time they've play acted and got away with so many fouls. The play acting was prevalent today. Made me chuckle when the HIA was enforced - initial recoil from the contact followed by a premier league whiplash reaction. Well ok then fella you clearly took one hell of a blow there so off you go....
Plus Biggar and Williams constant appealing and gesturing to the ref. I know all teams do it but they take it way further and it is constant.
I'm pleased they're on the way home.

Perhaps mention we beat them with 14 men just to make him feel better!

But no HIA for when the 2 Welsh tacklers missed the target and went head to head.

Of course I said that Wales would win easily as you've spent the past month saying how bad England are, and we beat them with 14 and a dodgy ref!
Mind you. I am not looking forward to tomorrow

If the taffs get on the way home pdq they can sit in front of the TV and watch England make the semi final
Ireland popping a lot of short passes forward so far and NZ happy to pick off early points. Have to wonder if Ireland’s continual failure at this stage will haunt them or if they’ll shake off this rusty start.
This is a different New Zealand to the team who lost to France.
That try as I posted that already makes it feel difficult for Ireland. To be world champions you need to show something special and it’ll take that from here.
“Don’t peak too soon” feels important here.
Ireland could still well win of course but your quote is solid. Growing into a tournament is something Germany used to do superbly in world cups, football. You don't win a tournament in the group stage.
How did NZ get away with a no arms tackle
I’ve seen too much from NZ down the years to ever write them off. At this stage of a tournament, mentality really matters.
That decision will be talked about for a while, especially if Ireland lose here.
