    Good weekend would be Welsh, Jocks and Paddies out of WC AND 3 points for the Addicks!

    Sexton ruled out of tomorrow's game,
    Madigan starts.

    Not surprised. Sexton is a huge player to lose, but I like Madigan's style as well.
  • The two Scots that were banned for 3 weeks, have appealed and now can play tomorrow.

    We'll, for those of us with red green colour blindness, this Wales v South Africa game is, quite literally, a difficult watch!

    Looking forward to this one. Really fancy Wales to win

    SA missed two "easy" pens as well.

    Not that time, despite the kicker nearly falling over

    Great off load and try for SA. Huge 5 mins for Wales now.

    Brilliant lay-off for Saffers try. That could be it for Wales, but the failed conversion gives them hope.

    Had to come. Wales been very brave but only so long you can hang on.

    Just run out of steam, unsurprisingly.

    Ran out of bodies

    The way things are going, unless Ireland beat Argentina it'll be an all Southern Hemisphere semi final lineup

    Some form-finding from Saffers after taking Japan for granted. Huge effort from both sides, but deserved win. Wales hit just too hard by injuries before & during the tournament.

    Lack of discipline did for the Welsh. They conceded four penalties (and more importantly 12 points) in the first 20 minutes.

    Ultimately, well as they undoubtedly played, that is what cost them. If Pollard had had Biggar's kicking boots on it would have been over bar the shouting long before the last four minutes.

    England did the same in their matches against both Wales and Australia. Kickers are so good now coaches must surely start preaching safety first in your own half.

    As someone who is an eighth Welsh I wanted them to progress in the absence of England but as of now I am a complete neutral and just want to see good rugby and may the best team win.

    All Blacks are destroying the French.

    Looks like a try for the french... Would make the second half worth watching
  • What a try, like a stream roller.

    Yeah... that lasted about 30 seconds. New Zealand up the other end and back ahead by 16 points.

    All Southern Hemisphere semi-finals I think. Not seen much of the RWC but this is my expert opinion
  • This is utterly insane. Sports excellence at its very best.

    This is France - not Namibia.

    So so easy
  • A top class All Black team against a very poor French team...

    Here come the anti-rugby lot saying you'd never see such a one-sided result at the knock-out stage of a football World Cup... :wink:
  • Great game, but I loved the commentators and referees comments at one point -

    He just pushed his fist into the chaps face, it was not a punch !.....only rugby!

    Could you imagine the news if it happened in the football PL !
