The Rugby Thread

Come on Fiji!

Good atmosphere at the Millennium Stadium. Was cheering for Fiji. Couldn't bring myself to join in with 'Swing Low'

Very under strength Welsh side for the English to face next up, be a very different team to the one Gatland envisaged playing when he looked ahead to the start of this tournament not more than a month ago.

Wales have been decimated leading up to and during the WC so far, top players injured at the worst possible time in their careers.

But then again, as is the way with sport, as one door closes for someone another opens for someone else to take their chance.

That's true although unfortunately even the bloody replacements got injured in some cases

Lucky there is reasonable depth, but frankly some of those missing nobody can fill in adequately for.

New Zealand vs Namibia game absolutely hideous to watch. Ref should have stopped this time wasting a long time ago, surprise New Zealand haven't been more vocal about it.

8 tries for NZ and only 4 conversions.

Good job you don't lose points in the Fantasy Football for missed kicks

[ChesterDave]

And with that 9 tries and actually converted

I just lose money instead

[ChesterDave]

If I had any money left before payday tomorrow I imagine I would have lost on NZ handicap. What did they have to cover? 50 points?

[danperkins]

I had -35 points in the second half. Thought that was an absolute banker. So sure of it I put it in my two 40 quid accums!!

[Chazza]

Well that has made the fantasy rugby look more healthy.

2nd place Chazz. You're right on casemore's arse.

[Boogs]

[RichC]

Well that's got a bit closer then

[Buzzo]

Wales are cursed.

How many serious injuries?

[Liverpel]

This is the best game so far.

[Vermilion]

Bloody hell boyos!
