that run kept the game alive, more please

 

[Beefy]

So that's not a knock on?

It looked like a knock backwards to me.

 

[Kapi96]

Looking good so far for England. Don't usually support them but... Wales...

 

[CCS]

That penalty just before half time has brought Wales back into the game. They'll need to be a lot better, especially at the set piece.

 

[Yen]

A lot of mistakes from the Wales forwards in that half.

 

[phisheep]

This is the point where I usually take comfort in the fact that Wales are always a better second-half team ...

 

[Beefy]

About a thousand adverts for The Martian.

 

[Showaddy]

Need to cover for Burgess in defence better, absolute revolving door there against Williams.

 

[SHarris78]

They are trying to pull apart the english defence. Get the holes and punch through like they did just now.
Still half time and it's very close stuff.

I just see a lack of invention, might as well be watching rugby league sometimes.

Still, we're lucky to be just the converted try behind after a largely poor performance. Though in saying that, does that mean England haven't been that good either as they should have got more than 16 points?

I don't know, but I am gonna have some melty cheese on toast as a half time snack.

happy thoughts

 

[Beefy]

I can still see Wales coming back.

 

[phisheep]

I always comfort eat when Wales are playing. During the first half I polished off the venison pie that was meant as tomorrow's dinner for the whole family.

 

[LiquidSolid]

These half time breaks are absurdly long.

 

[Clegg]

Watching replays of these scrum penalties and can't help but think the ref could've easily awarded them to Wales instead. Both teams boring in rather than driving straight. No control from either side.

Wales are killing themselves through their lack of quality at set piece.

 

[CCS]

God I hate people who think that making incredibly thinly-veiled references to 2003 makes them hilarious.

 

[Clegg]

Imagine being able to take off Lawes and put on Launchbury. Magnificent player to have a sub.

 

[KingSnake]

Same bad start for Wales in the second half. I don't know if they're able to change anything. Seems quite a sure win for England by the way it is played.

 

[kmag]

Tries win games, I'd go for touch and the maul here.

 

[CCS]

If Wales can keep within a score then they've got a chance of grabbing a draw at least. Need to pick it up though.

 

[Clegg]

Quicker ruck ball for Wales and they actually manage to put some pressure on England.

Someone should tell Burgess to stop kicking. He doesn't know how to.

And Wales should really stop kicking to Billy Vunipola.

 

[CCS]

Normally kicking to Billy is a good idea, he drops it half the time for Sarries.

 

[CCS]

I wouldn't bring Ford on if I was England. Wigglesworth/Farrell is such a good pairing to kill a game if you're leading.

 

[pulsemyne]

Penalty festival this half.

 

[LiquidSolid]

27 points off penalties so far, do you think it's time to issue some fucking warnings, Garces?

 

[KingSnake]

This game will kick its way to a 7 points win for England, isn't it?

 

[kmag]

27 points off penalties so far, do you think it's time to issue some fucking warnings, Garces?

It's 6 penalties against Engand for not rolling away, 3 for Wales. Time to get both captains together as say next one in the bin.

 

[jufonuk]

hehe I heard a swear

 

[CCS]

Does need to give a warning soon, the penalty count (both ways) is getting absurd.

 

[Beefy]

Another pen. This is getting stupid now.

 

[pulsemyne]

Well that's the shortest advantage this world cup.

 

[SHarris78]

Yay, a penalty.

Zzzzzzz.

 

[CCS]

Well that's the shortest advantage this world cup.

He explained it to Warburton, illegal rucking at the next ruck from Wales.

 

[kmag]

Well that's the shortest advantage this world cup.

Sounded he said there was a Wales penalty in the next ruck.

 

[Beefy]

Biggar freaks me out

Wales turning the pressure on.

 

[SHarris78]

Wow, thats more like it.

 

[CCS]

Fuck me North is good. Scares the shit out of me.

 

[kmag]

Wales kicked that too early.

 

[Clegg]

Can England put on George Ford so we can actually see some rugby.

 

[electristan]

go on!

 

[BanGy.nz]

I missed most of the match because of day lights saving... Damn it. Come'on Wales!

 

[CCS]

Can England put on George Ford so we can actually see some rugby.

That would require England to actually have the ball.

 

[kmag]

More huddles here than an American football game.

 

[LTWheels]

Absolute pointless late tackle. Fucking idiot

 

[Beefy]

Lot of injuries.

 

[CCS]

Another Welsh centre injured. Fucking hell.

 

[Clegg]

A Scott Williams injury would be a disaster for Wales. They're already missing their first choice 13 in Jonathan Davies through injury. They've nobody else in the squad now Williams is gone.

 

[pulsemyne]

We won't have a team left by the end of this tournament.

 

[phisheep]

I've always fancied Tipuric as a centre.

 

[Clegg]

Alex Cuthert on, oh dear.

He's quite honestly the worst player I've seen play rugby in the last 12 months. Can still get on the end of a try, but his overall play has gone to the pits.

 

[SHarris78]

All these injuries, I better get my kit ready just in case........
