    IMO, Welsh Rugby has an excellent platform of young players, with the right attitude, who will see another world cup. Even Mikey Philips kept his head which is a huge improvement on his usual attitude. Sad to think that Shane W will never put on a Red jersey again though.
    Good point - Wales should be a strong side for some years to come, and should be a threat for the next WC. Good luck to them

      How many Rugby players have died or suffered serious injuries from tackles like these?

      No agenda, just wondering...

            Because those refs ****ed up and this one didn't.

              It was a shocker of a tackle and the reaction of the French after it says it all. There doesn't have to be malice, but a bad tackle is a bad tackle.

              Shame, I was hoping Wales would win the WC.

              The RC shouldn't be the talking point anyway, the kicking let Wales down.

                WHS.

                It's a shame that both Jones and Hook had such bad games. Halfpenny can be forgiven for his monster attempt but the other two are both ex Lions' kickers.

                Still gutted but it's time to move on.

                  Why does it annoy me that the commentators don't say 'Ha'penny..' Am I 'of an age?'...

                      Glad the all blacks made it through. They're playing peerless rugby. Just hope they finish the job now.
