Balls, Wales losing by a try already (4 mins)

[LBNo11]

...Wales have been playing wonderful rugby, Priestland has been here there in every build up, they came back from behind and have lost the lead again by one point, but I think they can still do it - come on Wales - Sospan Fach..!

[epsomraver]

Valiant effort wales, so near!!!

[LBNo11]

....17-16 to the Saffers, but no shame in a great Welsh performance, entertaining rugby for the only slightly biased neutral...

Come on Wales, this 4.30 start before a drive to the Cottage best be worth it

Wales 17 Samoa 10
An incredibly tough game and a brilliant defensive performance by Wlaes with Shane Williams popping up for a killer try.

Relaxing Saturday morning in Englandshire.


Now let's sit back and compare our egg chasers with our multi millionaire petulant schoolboys from last night

[os5889]

A good or bad thing depending which way you look at it, the french have come out all guns blazing.

11-0 France

[Fernhurst]

Bright start now ruined by major incompetence in the line out. Now 11-0 down and Martin Johnson looking embarrassed.

Come on England get back in this game

[Fernhurst]

Gawd Blimey, now 16 points down

Are we QPR in disguise?

[Fernhurst]

The fightback stifled by the half time whistle

[Fernhurst]

Could we????? Now 16-7

[os5889]

16-7 you have a chance

[Fernhurst]

19-7 and sliding out of WC..... But wait we could have a try here.... Waiting for decision.....

YES

[Fernhurst]

Still need try and conversion to force draw.... 3 mins to go

[Fernhurst]

Sooooo disappointing... Off down the Pub at 11.00 ta ta

Now for the big game tomorrow, Aussies v Saffa's!!!
Sth Africa are sure to be favourites given their form and Australia's showings so far but thankfully we welcome back Stephen Moore (our far and away standout hooker and best scrummager who we've sorely missed, especially in the Ireland game), David Pocock, close to the best openside flanker in the world and Digby Ioane, amazing centre who has so much power and pace. That all being said, this will hopefully be an absolute cracking game and the Aussies will have to at the top of our game to get close to this Sth African side who are looking very dangerous at the moment
Well done to Wales too, they look very strong contenders and its good to see them getting their reward for some great performances
