Bitterly disappointed Would have loved to see Sam Burgess v Sonny Bill Will.
Lancaster to stay but sack team Farrell off - his lad has put in WAY too many late tackles at international level, can't believe it's only been picked up now.
Robshaw also to stay but we need a spine in the forwards (I don't think the backs did a great deal wrong) - some kind of combo along the lines of: Robshaw, Hartley (and I used to despise Hartley), Lawes - real leaders in my book.
Finally I'm annoyed for Brookes - the bloke from Stoke! Hopefully he'll be a sure starter come 2019...with Burgess as a Flanker?!?
A lot of ranting there, I know, but here's hoping Ireland smash NZ in the quarters.

Southern Hemisphere coach for me- we should make the IRU an offer for Schmidt.

Harsh yellow but just put that flag up that matches the colour of your shirts fucking embarrassing, i only hope the Welsh and the Scots get smashed to fuck as well! Love Wales and Scotland as places to visit but they are arrogant fucks that hate the English so fuck em! With good reason, to be fair What a strange thing to say- no one currently alive has anything to do with historical wrong-doings. That's as pathetic as some people hating modern-day Germans because of the war.

Yet its never long before the renditions of ten German bombers or 2 World Wars and 1 World Cup start at any England - Germany game. Some people are just thick.

Double standards much

I agree, it's cringeworthy, as is all the Braveheart posturing we get at Murrayfield before a Scotland-England rugby match. At least I didn't have to apologise for the Croke Park massacre when I landed in Dublin airport...

It's not hate but resentment at English bias. It's all England this and England that. You win a couple of decent games in any sport and suddenly you're world beaters and the best. It's actually us (the Welsh) who think the English media and supporters are the arrogant ones. An example from last month... Wales needed to beat Israel to qualify for a major tournament (first since 1958) and The Observer had a tiny article in the bottom right corner about us, while England beating San Marino in a meaningless game, let's be honest, was plastered all over the papers. Papers write for their readership - the Observer, I'm guessing, has more English readers than Welsh. It's just a commercial thing. Nothing to get too het up about - it ain't going to change. The relative silence since the Wales game, from the usual talking heads & bandwagoners has been deafening. Oh well, they can all commiserate each other at the Tory party conference this week. Champagne Rupert!?!

That's as pathetic as some people hating modern-day Germans because of the war. Almost as pathetic as some saying it's okay to hate them because 'they started it' by hating us first. I never meant anything historical either. I think the TV news would be enough if I was Welsh or Scottish.

Everyone has a problem with England because of the past and that is something that no one can change. No one alive today invaded Ireland No one alive today owned slaves no one alive today was part of long shanks army that conquered Scotland . If they hate all things english it's natural for some English folk to have a seige mentality and think " fuck you " and fight hatred with hatred . Not saying it's right but it's natural and to be expected and if it was anyone other than the "nasty english" I suspect you'd be singing a different tune . Not attacking you on a personal level because even though I disagree with a lot of what you say you make some good points and seem quite reasonable . Just my opinion like

I think the TV news would be enough if I was Welsh or Scottish. And the Welsh have S4C and the Scots have BBC Alba. And I can't see the Daily Record or Scottish Sun giving many column inches over to English sports teams. I'm sure Wales and Northern Ireland (if they make it) will be well-represented on the BBC and ITV next Summer, I remember the Welsh had plenty of coverage in Rugby World Cup 2011. At the end of the day, the media have to address the majority of their audience, do you think Radio Merseyside cover Tranmere and the Wirral as in depth as Liverpool? That's why we have regional news.

I don't know any 'decent' Welsh people who 'hate' the English (a strong word much abused/overused) You might get the usual baseball wearing tattooed types, with fags sticking out of their mouths shouting silly things, but no-one cares what those types think anyway. A lot of my family and most Welsh peoples families have very close English relatives anyway. My next door neighbours are English..there's no hate just banter that can get a little bit silly at times (only the above types I mentioned - take it seriously)

Served for years in the army with many a proud jock that considered themselves British first Scottish 2nd .

Scotland vs Samoa and Australia vs Wales are two of the best games of rugby I've seen in a while.
Australia look amazingly good.
Great stuff.

The Ausie defence was fantastic but Wales could and should have offloaded quicker and scored at least 1 try.
