It would be fabulous for them to get another 3rd place - for their talents that is a really good result(in the history of RWC they have got a 3rd and a 4th place).

If they work hard they might reach the level of England who have won it, come 2nd twice and have a 4th place. And will get 1st or second tomorrow.

The Welsh don't have much going for them so lets get behind them. Go Wales!

NZ 40 Wales 17 - it was never to be. My poor old dad never saw Wales beat South Africa. I was alive in 1953, but I guess I'll never see Wales beat NZ again in my lifetime either

All credit to the ABs, they payed superb rugby at dazzling speed. So did Wales, but without quite as much speed. For me the main difference was that the ABs always had a man at their shoulder; a lot of those little short passes were played blind, knowing their guy was on hand so they kept the momentum and denied Wales (or anyone else) time to reform the defence properly.

Great and entertaining match of rugby though. Main takeaway for me was the strength of the young Welsh players coming through the system. Next year will be interesting.

Not got the benefit of TV since they were switched off last month due to some whiner.

Judging from bbc it looks like a blackwash....

It’s frenetic.

ABs having a bit more luck (although I think of Gary Player who may have said “The more I practice the luckier I get”)
Some of the ABs handling has been amazing and perhaps the score doesn’t reflect the play, but that might be my NH bias.

Its the fault of the English. Since 1536......

Now, I was actually looking at how this could be pinned on the English, is there nothing more recent you can hang it on?

Looks like they're getting their arse handed to them on a plate.

Wish I was watching this rather than getting score updates on my phone. Sadly it's looking too much for Wales to come back from now.

It’s going to be an interesting one tomorrow - are there some on here who who’ll be struggling to support a team where several are 1st/2nd/3rd generation immigrants who have come to England and taken jobs away from English people?

Why don't you get your own thread?

This is to support Wales!

NZ 14 - Wales 10! Comes on boys....

If you care so much about Wales, why don't you love to England and take PC with you?

Some typos in there.....
