Goddamn, never underestimate Wales� ability to squander what seems to be an unassailable lead against a Southern Hemisphere team.

It really is a classic Wales performance.

I'm really looking forward to Japan beating South Africa again but this time in the quarter finals.

I'm Welsh and I'm not looking forward to the drubbing we'll be getting in the semis.

I am going to enjoy the All Blacks v Japan final however.

De Klerk is going to pick up a yellow at some point for persistent infringement, or would if Barnes did offsides

House rules for this game is that Dr Klerk is allowed to be offside and Japan are allowed to throw every third pass forward.

E: it's fun though so I'm not complaining

Saffer forwards are monsters on defence, every time they make a tackle they're pushing Japan back a metre or two it feels like

Yeah Japan have possession but they are struggling to make any ground with it.

If he'd passed half a second earlier instead of holding on then panicking that would have been a try.

IMO, the rules should be: "Did your knees or shoulders touch the ground during a tackle attempt? Tackle complete, release the ball." This held/not held stuff is too subjective.

He was on his knees and the ball was on the ground. Should have just let go briefly and then picked up the ball while he was getting back up.

What I don't get mostly is why Wales put out a B team when the A team is dogshit and need to get it together. A full team performance sticking 50 past Georgia or just turn it into a nothing match.

It's because we no longer have an A team, just various combinations of B teams.

-completely positive on the Welsh training camps in Poland; something about these has always really bugged me, I feel it was pretty obvious there's a bigger story here (conspiracy hat that it was Welsh doping regime catching up, but that's completely conjecture on my end)

Lol I remember them covering the Poland camp on the Welsh news and it was so obviously covering up some shady bullshit.

"They have a regimen of really cold baths and it makes them incredibly hench. Because of science."

Welsh winding the French up, repeated infringements that should have had a yellow card long before the incident. French get stupid and give away a penalty and red card.

This seems to have been Wales' whole strategy all tournament and it just keeps working.

I know there are a few more games before then but most excited for England vs. Argentina next. Go Pumas!

I'm looking forward to England getting knocked out in the group stage because it will take the edge off Wales being knocked out in the group stage.

Got to be a not insignificant portion of Ireland's population in the crowd based on that singing.

So it makes England's inevitable blow out loss in the knock out stage all the more satisfying.

So I don�t really watch rugby outside of the odd World Cup match, but it looked to me like South Africa has quite the HGH problem huh.

I saw only a handful of faces in their team that weren�t showcasing obvious HGH and testosterone abuse.

I don't know if you've noticed but all the physios have vests that say keep rugby clean so actually the sport has solved doping.

Ok so assuming wales and eng get top of the group, we get fiji in the qf

Wales get, I dunno? Japan/Arg? 2nd place in our group still wide open

Not particularly confident against fiji, but could end up with a wales v eng semi

In a just world Fiji should demolish England.

Thanks south africa for ensuring I didn't get a clean sweep of wrong predictions for the quarter finals.

Still can't believe England are through to the semi-finals, there is no justice on this earth.
