I was wrong they lost 18-12, the Cook islands could have a lot more points.

Well, considering the Cook Islands were massive favorites, Wales did pretty well IMHO!

England beat France 42-18, a bit sloppy at the end of each half, will not be able to do that against Australia or New Zealand.

An absolute class player as were many others in the team during that period - unfortunately still couldn't beat the Blackness (though we came close several times and robbed on a couple!! Roger bloody Quittenton comes to mind! ).

Sadly, we have a dire record and it's been nigh on 70 years since we have beaten them......

Thanks for the clip though!

Don't you fecking start!! The LHG has allready threatend banishment to the shed for my expletive-ridden rant during and after this afternoon's "display" .......

I endured a 5hr drive from Suffolk to get back in time for the farce, but in all honesty the result had been decided long before kick-off. The Welsh coaching team were still in place, the Welsh media were spouting the "Blackness" were there for the taking...... and of course Wayne Barnes was the referee!!

It goes to show their standing when the AB's get the grief they have been given earlier this season after losing a few games..... and still go on to win the Rugby Championship! They have been, are and will continue be a class act for some years to come. Wales needed to be at their best, fired up and all guns blazing.... but unfortunately were far from the standard needed to compete.

We have been found wanting in defence since the departure of Shaun Edwards (thank you WRU ), but today's display was an embarrassment quite frankly - some poor individual errors and performances certainly didn't help. As is the norm under the current coaching regime we were clueless in attack and without the few and far between skillful individual acts would not have crossed the whitewash.

The diference in the teams was night and day - I simply can't believe Wales were still within "touching distance" on the scoreboard after 60 minutes..... Certainly all changed after that!!

Positives for Wales were in very short supply - Ken Owens played out of his skin (superb after a long layoff), Faletau as usual his incredible self and a very decent debut for Dyer.

BIG changes needed.....
