If we doubt Wales they usually win as what we say usually the opposite happens

we want wales to win but if we back them they will lose. It happens all the time at rugby league games for us

Have you noticed, defender leans shoulder into tackle and it hits head, they are sent off.

However if attacker leans shoulder into defender (who has to get low now), contacts their head, not sent off.

They need to work on this high tackle issue, as defenders are getting shoulders turned into their heads all the time.

Fiji have had a good game today.

Shame for Georgia as they are better than they way they have played today.

Yeah, was kind of hard to watch. They’re better than that.

Roll on 11.15. I reckon Ireland will win by 20+ (*Prays*)

Yes

Not helped by the roof having to be closed

Yep, but I’d imagine it’s like playing in an oven.

Ah it wasnt all that hot. The scots played in worse heat the other day. We do need to wake up before a QF

Sextons right tho, they did the job required

One of the players said it in an interview straight after the game. That’s insane heat.

I’d be cooked after a few minutes.

In the middle

Just caught up with today’s play

What the hell were they thinking? Poor old Sergio Parisse, he tries so hard to lead a good team but somehow they always let him down

Apparently the NZ bench were saying they were sweating before they even got on the field! I reckon I'd last ten minutes tops in that (assuming I wasn't tackled before then and stretchered off

)

A human sweat box was what David Kilcoyne referred to it as on an RTE interview.

At the scrum you could plainly see they were having difficulty getting a grip on each other’s jerseys due to them being soaked in sweat. Not fun!
