    Yep we always struggle with the brilliance of Aus running rugby. I’m hoping our pack might put them on the back foot.

    I think we'll see a completely different Australia to what we did against Fiji. As soon as they decided to keep it tight and attack the fringes of the ruck Fiji looked clueless. Australia will prefer a looser game against Wales, their backline is still devastating.
    That’s interesting as I thought he seemed a decent player.

    Agreed about a different Australia but also think you’ll see a better Wales team. They ground the Aussies down in the Autumn internationals and I’ll think it’ll be more of the same this time if they do win. As you say the Aussies are lethal with ball in hand, so Wales will try to keep things tight although they need to scrummage even better than they against Georgia.

    I think we'll play a similar game that we played against England in the 6N. Go through the phases and attack tight.

    Can't see the wingers seeing much ball.

    I think we'll win by choking them out of the game. I also think it's imperative that we do as a QF against England has us going home.
    Have got France as my dark horses though so wouldn't be surprised if they beat us.

    From the overhead camera that lineout that led to the try was definitely not straight.

    ...twas I...they just throw it straight to their jumper..not down the middle

    Huge for Uruguay as finishing 3rd in the group gives automatic qualification to the next World Cup. Gives them a great chance.

    Haven't seen the tries so perhaps in the corner but see that Fiji only converted 1 of their 5 tries, whilst Uraguay popped all their 3 over. Pretty crucially in the end.

    Wow, just seen this.

    Fantastic. I've seen precious little of the competition so far but what I have seen (Scotland's embarrassing surrender apart) has been great. I'll get more involved.

    Italy stuffed Canada earlier. Glad they’re enjoying their rugby at the moment as they’re usually on the receiving end of it.
    SA and NZ to come for then though.

    England stuffing USA at the moment and he US have just had a red card for a disgraceful “tackle” on Farrell after the whistle had gone for a knock on.

    The business end is going to be very interesting. As much as the SH teams will be favourites, England Ireland and us are all capable of throwing a spanner in the works.

    5 hours its my boys v Japan. Even though Sexton being rested - Ireland will beat Japan by 20-25.

    Then..... You guys v Aussies. Pfffttt. What a game.
    Funny feeling that Halfpenny is gonna leave Chieka crying. Good luck my Welsh amigos

    Japan giving Ireland a good game. 3 points in it with half hour to play.

    Japan take the lead with quarter of the game left

    Brilliant.
    Nothing against Ireland at all but I hope Japan hold onto this.

    Re: Rugby Word Cup 2019 thread.

    Great to see Japan leading but my enjoyment has just been tarnished by seeing a Leeds flag.
    Scotland could struggle to get out of the group.

    Japan lead by 7, with 7 mins to go. Great game.

    Japan win. They were the better team too.

    Brilliant by Japan. Hot humid conditions & superb Japanese conditioning must have helped. Won a few € on that result.

    Brilliant by Japan.
    Why the feck did the Irish player kick it straight into touch after the gong had gone and the advantage was over?

    I was wondering that too. Maybe he was happy with a losing bonus point.

    Odd decision at the end. Nice to see the hosts making a go of it.

    Worra game, great to see Japan beat them, Paul O'Connell, "its unusual to see Ireland commit so many penalties at the break down", No Paul, it's great to finally see a referee penalise the foul play of Ireland at the break down
