Well done Dodgy; bait, hook, line and sinker swallowed in one go.

At this rate I think I may be getting a lifetime membership to Angling Times thrown in

Not when that included wins against Fiji and Italy. Set your sights a bit higher ffs.

We could have racked up some more easy wins if only the fixture secretary had booked Samoa

Must admit - on current form, didnt want to draw England.

Would rather have had Samoa or Argentina who, if we get our act together, we SHOULD beat.

As for Australia, better than facing NZ or SA because, again, on current form, they're beatable.

Worryingly the one of the other teams could be Fiji who, although crap at the moment, beat wales in one world cup :-(

No trophy, but we did beat you on respect earned by some considerable margin.

More to the point, that Wales team is now back in its comfort zone of losing on a regular basis .

More to the point, that Wales team is still together bar Shane Williams - or will be when they finish gluing them back together again.

How was this 'more respect earned' measured, and by whom?

I don't see this as a negative to be frank; yes, we spent a while keeping possession, knowing if we put him in the right spot, he would deliver, which he did. We won, on the park, by playing to our strengths.

So, which trophy did you win last time around? I can't recall.

One team, once , under an inspired manager with huge resources and it still took one kick in the dying minutes that they spent five minutes manoevering to get in a position to do.

Last time around, remind me who got further through the competition...

Wales were better losers than England on that occasion
