Rugby Union World Cup 2019

Well done to the Welsh. Didn't watch it, but I've read that France should have been over the horizon at HT. Missed a lot of decent chances, is that correct?

Missed a conversion and a relatively easy penalty (both of the post!), and a couple of half-chances at tries got defended, but they could have kicked a drop goal. One attacking scrum they got all wrong, so that's the main attacking chance.

Not sure a drop goal would have helped, as Wales had plenty of time to have a go at the end.
 
As with Rugby league though, Union is following a worrying trend and what would have been easily called forwards years ago is now seemingly ignored and it does nothing for the game imo.

Yes we want to see tries scored but forwards is forwards and that today was slightly forwards.

To say it wasnt clear is bollocks imo but well done Wales and the French lost that game themselves and have no one to blame.

I don't think it's possible to say certainly that the ball came out forwards. The overhead shot didn't look directly overhead to me.

There are a lot worse forward passes let go.

Absolutely but you get my point.

50 yard American Football style pass from the All Blacks would be let go you feel at times.

"momentum"

My arse its fucking forwards lol.
 
That was forward, lucky twats. I noticed the French players fist pumping when they saw it on the screen because they knew it had gone forward too.

The Welsh making the easier route the final difficult for themselves, for once a decent France team turned up, but the red card gave Wales an advantage which they took, but it was down to French mistakes and poor decisions.
 
We were awful and prison shamed at times by France.
We're very fortunate to be in the semi finals.
Very noticeable that NZ, France and England benefited hugely from having games postponed in the group stage, we looked heavy legged after playing the extra game.
Unlucky France but maybe it's payback from the semi final where we has Warburton sent off
 
Well done Wales. Hope they make the final. The ref had an excellent game bar maybe Wales could have conceded a couple of Pens when France were near the the Welsh try line with tens mins to go.
