We outplayed you this week, you will probably outplay us next week. That is the joy of watching an England wales game. In all honesty, I would love us both to get to the final. How loud and hostile would that be? Hope your team does well my man!
@@68iansutton mate that would be the game to end all games 😂😂😂 oh my days never thought of that before! That environment would be absolutely buzzing!!!
I wonder if I am the only welsh man and supporter to click on the like button !! Many positives to come out of this performance for both teams and I hope to see us both improve before and during the tournament and get through to the later stages. Would be lovely to see an all british final :-)
@@DaleSkinner1992 not sure if you have been watching the rugby championship but NZ seem in poor form as of late, the Aussies had one good game but they were always going to throw the kitchen sink at NZ. South Africa have been playing well but I think it will definitely be the most open world cup we have ever seen. Especially being the first one in neutral territory.
@@Calmdown1354 I agree that it should be a very close tournament and as you say with not one of the main contenders with a home advantage. The boks are my biggest concern out of the SH teams as I think it looks like they are building into a reckoning force !!
Where is the grace guys?? Win or lose let's enjoy the rivalry and shake each other's hands after. Best of luck to all the teams in this years World Cup. Best team win. From an England fan
Well said mate the players batter eachother for 80mins and then have a beer.... Fans on RU-vid rip eachother apart! Absolute nonsense like a bunch of woman ai! Wales fan
Great to finally see mutual respect between everyone in this comment section instead of uneducated 'fans' ridiculous attempt at banter. Fair play everyone
As an All Black. I can honestly say you northern hemisphere teams don’t stand a chance even against our woman’s team. Such poor standards, you need to take the high heels 👠 off, wear some Velcro gloves and stop dunking so many balls. I thought I was watching curling 🥌
Are we too slow in NH? Brawn is now in fashion, but will it count in WC? We saw Wales suffocate England twice this year, will that be enough against SA and NZ?
@Scott James Johnson tbh, anything can happen in a world cup. Ranking mean nothing. Just gotta hope, pray and support your home team! England have amazing potential! But not from last weekends game. (Im welsh btw)
@Scott James Johnson bigged yourselfs up already huh? 🤣 id much rather england win than any of the SH but all this BIG talk is why you flopped last time. Cant deal with the expectations. Really Hope im proven wrong
I can see the SH teams dominating the world cup again, Australia and SA seem to be peaking at the right time, Argentina always play well at world cups and NZ will probably come right at the world cup because pre world cup years NZ are usually poor but then go on to win the world cup. My prediction hasnt changed, i still think it will be a NZ/SA final at the world cup.
Argentinas scrum looked poor and they are the least likely to qualify from their group of the top 10 nations. Dont see them straight qualifying for the 1/4s.
@@tonytye8963, but what youre failing to remember is that Argentina and Australia usually play their best rugby at world cups. Look at the last world cup, Ireland had beaten Argentina in 5+ games in a row prior to the world cup but i think you know what happened in the QF and its not the first time Argentina have done that. I agree with you that they are the weakest of the rugby championship sides but they still seem to make the playoffs regularly.
@@Trajan2401 sometimes they do, but more often they dont, they have a tough task this year in that group, they have to win against england or france and even then that might not be enough if other match go against them.
@@Trajan2401 maybe,dont see them beating england though, but france might beat england with their style of play, like i said even beating france might not get them through if other results go against them.
As a kiwi, thank you so much for recognizing that it’s coming home to New Zealand 🇳🇿 I don’t think you northern hemisphere teams stand a chance against our woman’s team. #NZrealrugby
@@nufcforlife548 Born at the Green in Wallsend, brought up in Prospect avenue Wallsend.. Dad was down the rising sun pit.. Probably more of a geordie than you mate
@@carwyngriffiths I think we'll have a harder game. I understand the need for warm ups, but I thought to play such good opponents is a risk so close to the tournament. Anscombe is a big blow for Wales, though I prefer Biggar as a player. Wales are now short of a brilliant player.
He helped Wales and Wainwright dominate the return though. Pity Wainwright went off early - meant Wales were only playing with 3 starters up front. LOL!
By your comment you must be that one Englishman that keeps on giving? Letting the rest of the lads down with your ridiculous views and comments 😂😂😂 faletau is world class so is Billy but both are completely different 8's with different qualities... Muppet
@Scott James Johnson they are both different 8's mate Billy has more power to bump off tackles and get over the gain line but falatau is more skillful out in the wide channels both are world class but neither are better because neither are the same matea
I am not a huge rugby follower. I watch just the highlights. England have thrashed number 2 ranked Wales. Do they have it in them to beat New Zealand,South Africa,Australia,Ireland and win the world cup?
England do have it in Them to beat those you name. Only problem is those you name also have it in them to beat England and all the others on the list. At this stage anyone who says “My team will win the RWC and all others have no chance”. Doesn’t know much about the game or how teams are currently performing. We can all hope for our team and as the tournament develops a more clear picture will appear but at the moment we must wait and see.
@@misterocain was at the match If the England tackling was bad The Welsh was non existent Ran thru time and again Lost at scrum and breakdown repeatedly Will get better but not the way to lose your unbeaten record Highlight was the Davies try tho
@@phoenixfridge1495 You specifically "came here" (instead of watching the highlights on TV) to see the Davies try so that is what we are discussing and the English defending was absolutely woeful especially the last "tackler" who had more than enough contact to bring him down. A bollocking from EJ no doubt followed. It's not the first time and EJ needs to sort it out before the WC. Of course I do sincerely give credit to Davies but that doesn't hide the fact that there was more than one error from the English defence (if you can call it that).
@@misterocain its englands biggest flaw, when it gets to scrappy open play and breaks, i think they tend to defend or minimise territorial gain and should give territory and just stop these long distance tries, happend against scotland too many times. They are pretty good when its tight and organised.
@@tonytye8963 My worry is that yet again we start like a house on fire, putting points on the board, and then let teams come back at us. The Scotland game being a case in point (and I do credit them with their attitude to come back). My other concern is that I need more convincing that we have overcome our tendancy to give away cheap penalties. Still, pessimism is part of being English, lol.
All the talk about if wales win and Aus win last week and they go first... not that it matters but if England beat Wales by 15+ then England go 1st in the world even in NZ thrash Aus by 100 points. England, Ireland or wales could be top next week at this time... not saying it matters spasticus, just some stats since a big deal been made of it recently. Also the likelyhood of NZ going into the World Cup as #1 in the rankings is so slim I’d bet a big buck on it. Ire, eng and wales hold so much close ranking points and they’re all playing each other. NZ have no chance of gaining much points (less than2 points separating top 4 sides which can be gained/lost in one match and 4 matches between these teams to be played.)
A good point well made. A pleasure to read a reasoned argument based on facts rather than arrogant ranting based on xenophobia and very little knowledge of rugby.
@@user-dw5qc4ln7y it is hard to except the loss, the rugby world are tired of hearing Wales going to win the world cup, you lost England in the friendly game
True, england ended up in the toughest group for the second WC in a row. At least the two bigger teams aren't as strong as they were for the last WC. Aus and Wales last time, France and Argentina this time, everyone else seems to just have one other top team in their groups for WCs but England get two, twice in a row.
@Scott James Johnson italy are not a big team, they have absolutely no chance in any group as third team, despite being in with NZ and SA, italy is not as good as the third team in the england,argentina,france group even if the other two are better, someone pretty big is going out of those 3, little italy IS going out as it should, just like the rest in that group, it is not a contender for the later stages, its not a difficult group at all for NZ or SA.
In Fijian dialect the letter C is pronounced as "th", also a vowel followed by a g is pronounced as if it is "ng". Hence Cokanasiga becomes Thokanasinga and Tuilagi becomes Tuilangi.
MadamSteamfunk unfortunately our best scrum half is in france with toulon.. Gutted that rhys webb isnt in the team for this years RWC because he genuinely could make the difference in games as he’s such a quality 9
As an All Black I have to say perhaps we have to send our woman’s team to play northern hemisphere teams during the RWC. Very poor standards, you northern hemisphere teams needs to take your high heels 👠 off, wear Velcro gloves and stop fumbling the ball every 5 minutes. NZ real rugby!!!
Hey Patrick, Samu Kerevi just sent Beauden Barrett to the chiropractor last weekend and the whole wallabies sent you guys back across the pond with your tails between your legs 😂
