Rugby world cup 2015

[Estimator]

Wales could have had another couple of tries in the first half. But they've done enough to win this one.

Fiji fumbled on practically on the line, the resulting penalty they missed prior to scoring their try.

Tickets sorted for Ireland v Italy on Sunday. Can't wait!!!

Wales could still easily miss the Q/Fs. If England beat Australia by 7 points or less and neither team getting a 4 try bonus then the table would be
Wales 13
Aus 10
Eng 10

Then England win and score four tries against Uruguay and Australia narrowly beat Wales
Eng 15
Aus 14
Wales 14

First tie breaker is head to head and Australia go through.

England beating Oz is the big if in that scenario.

[JoG2]

England beating Oz is the big if in that scenario.

Agreed,  a couple of big hitters down or not,  cannot see anything other than an Australian win

Should be a hard hitting affair

[Tony Baloney]

Canada making this interesting.

Some of the lesser lights are showing the so called first class nations how to throw the ball about the place. Fiji historically loved the 7's and that's always been part of their game, but Canada, the US, Japan also are pretty handy once the ball is in open play.

It's the kicking and set piece where they struggle, but are a joy to watch.

[Walter Cronc]

It has been a fantastic tournament to date. Have thoroughly enjoyed the games.

Looking forward to seeing the lads on Sunday and cannot wait for Cardiff next week.

Anyone heading over?

Is some of the criticism of Burgess based on anti-Ruby League snobbery? Know your place, don't be thinking our code can be picked up quickly.
Burgess might not have been great, but there were worse offenders, like the ones who gave away crucial penalties. Also, Burgess was already off when England went into reverse.

Don't think D'Arcy wouldnt be that sort to be honest. Any union player worth his salt knows that plenty of aspects of league are of high quality. Decoy running, offloading and strong defence are all facets of league play.

Anyone heading over?

Heading from London for the France game, going to spend the night in Cardiff the night before. Still some decent deals on airbnb compared to the hotels. The trip from London to Cardiff for the Canada game was ridiculous , standing all the way to Cardiff. Anyone heading to the Italy game?
