The opening match of Rugby World Cup 2023 will see hosts France face three-time winners New Zealand on Friday 8th September. The final will take place seven weeks later on Saturday 28th October.

Second half Argentina played a very conservative forward oriented game . Argies fans in the Spanish Pub I was in were loud but fair and we wished each other well as that what sport is about.

That high hit is a massive game changer if a moment. Then the try came when they were holding on the ground.
We didn’t deserve to win second half but a fair chance would have been nice.


That ref was an absolute joke with decision, the emphasis in union was to stop contact to the heads of players, that incident was a stonewall red card all day long, shoulder to the head, NO MATTER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES.

As you have said SJ, they wouldn't have scored to go ahead, it could have been a different game, we went away from the gameplan to try and offload and forget to commit to rucks, it played into their hands.

We have been done again by a dodgy refs decision, as I've already said the ref was a joke.

We screwed up
However you won't see worse reffing in your life
Morgan was appalling
Imagine Sexton putting up with that

Still the anti rugby lads who were bullied to play rugby will be happy

We lost our best defender at the worst time having to go off for a HIA due to non foul play
Where the frck were the Welsh fans as it seemed the gobby Argies were the only noise there's bad day
Anti egrets happy though clearly


I only saw Wales for 20 minutes in this World cup and it was total incompetence.

- 61 minutes Zammit Rees inexcusably kicks the ball dead. This alone changed the dynamics of the games with ARFU putting a boot on the Welsh neck for the next 10 mins.

- 65 mins The IMO sees The Welsh centre off concussion referral and no penalty or card.

- 70 mins Welsh mess up a line out.

-75 mins Z-R and Dyer get white line fever. (An All Black would have strolled in).

-78 mins Costelow passed the ball to an ARFU player while giving the eye in the WC2023.

Why is it we get into a great position then give three lines out away then two dumb penalties just before half time.
It’s a weakness in mentality we have .
Lac Morgan is as much a captain as Grimes,ie silent .

That was an act of stupidity on Adams part and not for the first time, but the ref had called a halt to the game before that.

But to allow that assault on Tomkins to go unpunished was a disgraceful decision , absolutely shocking the Argentine player knew exactly what he was doing, by going in with his elbow, Red card all day long.

To say otherwise is clueless.

I watched the Wales game down the pub and couldn’t hear the commentary etc. my thoughts were that we started well, but it went down hill from there. I was very disappointed but not surprised, we kick the ball away which means the opposition are going to run it back at us which forces us to expend huge amounts of energy in tackling. We should have tried to run Argentina ragged with our pace, but we got decked in and their bruising forwards took control and then proceeded to tighten the screw. We were already losing when the intercepted pass was thrown and if truth be told not looking likely to score.

Kicking the ball away to the opposition means more often or not they will carry the ball back to you which means more energy sapping defence and that’s the way it went. Argentina’s big brusing forwards carried the day.

Ireland… where do you start. They didn’t kick when they had a couple relatively easy penalties and paid the price. I said yesterday they’d crash and burn and so it was.

Tomorrow, I fancy SA and England to win. I’d prefer to see a France Fiji SF, but can’t see that happening.

The two games today were like chalk and cheese. We are still a way behind the top 4, but have some promising youngsters coming through. So hopefully a bright future.

Bad day for the experts , pundits and media commentators who predicted Wales , Ireland going through to the next stages .

Some fella being interviewed on Radio Wales live coverage earlier mentiond Wales to win and get the bonus points .

Presenter had to mention to him on air , knock out stage now , bonus points do not matter .

He was in a Rugby Club at the time , looking back maybe not the right answer .

The writing was on the wall for Wales as soon as an English ref came on the pitch, we was winning the game up until then.
