Seems to be a lot of messaging coming out they are aware of falling off and need to get themselves up again straight after an epic win.
I head Dalton Papalii' saying at the end, something to the effect of - We get one more week boys, one more week."
It is drummed into them
Except we have two more weeks, no matter what. Bloody boof head

Would have been funny if he was heard saying, "We've got those easy-beats Argentina next week"

@Kiwiwomble France crashing our really took away my emotional fallback option.
We're the only thing standing in the way of the forces of darkness
Really interesting for the neutrals from here - assume they are all going for the Argies as any one of England, Boks or the ABs would probably be unbearable.

Rugby convention to support the team that beat you (maybe it's just in Wales)
So I'll be in the stands shouting for Argentina but my head says NZ will run amok

@mariner4life Interesting he's such a tool when his dad handled himself after the loss with the greatest of dignity.

Hugely respect Courtney Lawes
I'm beginning to like Maro Itoje too since he stopped behaving like a rodeo cowboy shouting Yeehaah! all the bloody time.

My wife is one, so hard not to! Tho she calls herself Cornish and British not English - she hates the idea 'English' (with it's white supremacist skin head implications) and supports Wales more haha
You do realise she's technically more French than British....

The Cornish are very proud of being Cornish, I have a half Cornish friend, she's still happy to say she's English though but will say Cornish-English.
They are quiet about it though and as I've found after living here for 7 years, seem to regard anyone who actually lives in Cornwall full-time as Cornish. Probably more rugby mad than the Welsh just a bit more quiet
Her family are a lot darker than the usual English look
Funnily enough, the most Cornish people I know (from Alternun going back centuries) are as blonde as blonde can be.

Danny Care is an absolute top bloke - up there with Fitzy in the down-to-earth, chat to anyone stakes.
Worked in the same team with Dallaglio for 2-3 weeks. Complex bloke. Very, very professional and good to work with, but hard to have a chat to and always felt he was struggling with something.

I don't get that one, the Cornish were in Britain before the French (Norman's) , and Vikings, and in fact the Romans
