Someone on Gwlad pointed out that there is a potential scenario where, if it looks like Fiji, Aus & Wales are all going to be tied, then it is Wales' best interests for them to let Aus score as many points as possible. That would mean Aus win the group, and second place would come down to head-to-head result between Fiji & Wales

Except it’s not the last match

Hey, I didn't say that it would happen, just that it could.

But yeah, it won't.

So I read McLennan is absolving himself of blame here by saying that this loss was "20 years in the making". He even goes as far as saying neither Eddie, nor the players are at fault - it's everyone that has come before this glorious group of saviours.

FFS McLennan what a complete tool.

Look, he isn't wrong in that the systems are fucked, and have been since the turn of the century.

I've been saying it for years.

The fact that McLennan bignoted himself by fucking Rennie (and Marinos in the process) says all you need to know about the fluffybunny.

Another who isn't very popular around the tables of a rugby piston wristed gibbon lunch.

You'd think Wales will win this one but who knows. Wales beat Fiji, Aussies lost to Fiji but Wales had a much harder time trying to contain the Fiji attack.

Wales look better coached so I think they'll win even though the Aussies have better players.

Wales have a better plan. Provided Biggar stays on the park for the crucial minutes, they win.

Only concern they might have is lineout where Frost started to pick apart Fiji later in the game.

That’s why it should be Elias to start and Dee to finish

Lake isn’t accurate enough

That’s the way to give your young 10 of the future some confidence.

Eddie has utterly lost the plot

Apparently Max Jorgensen is out of the RWC with a broken leg.

Turned up injured. Left injured.

Entirely predictable. Carter would be a nervous wreck now, prone to compounding error on error.

Jeez, I wonder how that could happen, throwing a young guy in without support and then hooking him - which made fuck all difference as the team was already set up to fail.

Jesus, what a rabble, maybe he is thinking the last Donald at 10 won the World Cup, so let’s roll the dice.

How is this bloke better than Gordon?

[Bovidae]

The Wallabies better hope they don't need a last minute kick at goal to win.
