This is coming from a Welshman. I think England will beat SA. England lost the last WC due to tiredness playing All Blacks in the semis but feel SA will feel it from last week. 

Watching this on Robins TV I’m relieved I never came now. Wake up City. 
 

Gutted, my son in law drilled though a pipe. So could not make it today. 

When this tournament started they were having to have drink break due to the heat. Now they are commentating in the rain and cold. 

Even down to 14 they outscore them. 

With U2 playing The Sphere in Vegas. If you have not seen a video of that place you ought to, they say it’s the opposite of seeing bands in arenas and stadium and the best seats are at the back. But I’ve started listening to their stuff again. 

If the semis live up to the quarters we are all in for a treat this weekend.

This is why I don't think England have underachieved. Lets be honest Rugby Union only competes with Football in England in the West Country.

It is not our National Sport - unlike NZ, South Africa, Wales and it's definitely more popular in Ireland. 

You can't use Country population as a metric either, it should be about overall participation and I don't know the numbers but I can't imagine it is anywhere near as popular as Football and Cricket across England. 

I think the private school system has really held the Sport back 

Used to be the most popular sport in Wales, now it’s football. Some of the teams are struggling to have a proper seconds team. Only this years six nations Wales was going to strike against WRU due to lack of funds in grassroots rugby. 
Pulling out against English league was the start of the decline. 

What a cracking game. 

That’s a mistake 

Shaun Edwards ain’t going to be happy with this 

This second is crap, we’ve gone 10 minutes without a score 

Wish Dupont was born in Llanelli, he is fantastic

As a somewhat less than avid fan I am a tad confused, I was definitely given the impression in these pages before the RWC, that England wouldn't even get out of the group stages and that Ireland were going to win the tournament. What's everyone predicting now?

I thought before the tournament we would kick off with the same two we finish with. France v New Zealand. 

Hoping tonight’s live up to the last three games. I picked France to win it at the start, but tonight’s game is going to be bruising. 

Well done England. 

Antoine Dupont plays 21 days after a fractured cheekbone tonight. Bet the springboks go in extra hard targeting him tonight.

I thought Beauden Barrett for NZ was outstanding.

I have as much sympathy for Ireland as they will towards England if we lose tomorrow which is zero. Do better next time, I guess.

I’m Welsh but my passport says Great Britain, so I will be wanting England to win. I have no allegiance to any other team to beat them. 
The only time I support the opposition in anything is in the 6 Nations if an England win affects Wales winning the tournament. Otherwise I just want to see a good game. 
Don’t like this got to fit Farrel into every game though. To me George Ford is the better player. 
 

Cracking game 

Good luck Ireland, and please don’t let this be the Wayne Barnes show

Both have come a long way especially Japan.

Yeah, it’s good to see other nations getting stronger. Hopefully we see more nations come on and make the tournaments more competitive at group level. 

The company I work for (been though buy outs since but still the same name) had a box in the Millennium stadium. I was invited to the Argentina v Japan match. They’ve come a long way since then and hosting the Lions tour next.
