Come on don't you mean 4 Billion.

I watched a bit of that game this morning and God what a shambles union is.

We have had this game this morning stuffed down our throats by the media,what an occasion and all of the UK is behind Wales and this is the best they can come up with,if only we had the same media for last week's GF we would be laughing but who am I kidding.

I have just watched the second half and Wales have got nobody to blame apart from maybe the dull-witted Jones for not going for drop goals more often.
They would have probably won.
Serves them right.

How dare you call into question the IRB rugby union calculator!

It's amazing how the media like to hype this game up so much and how the gullible public get all excited about it, just because they are told to.

The people who get on my nerves the most are the dim witted 'celebs' or people from other sports, who wouldn't be seen dead at a Union club game, but talk as if this is a wonderful sport and an exciting specticle.

Do me a favour.

The last Rugby League World Cup Final produced NINE tries.

The same amount as scored in all 6 Union World Cup Finals so far.

If you go onto the RWC site there's a slow motion button available on the match highlights

If I did that I would end up sliting my wrists,80 mins is bad enough never mind slowing the game down.

That tackle as well when the Welsh guy got sent off you must be kidding me.

Are they going soft in union as well nowadays,penalty at best for me.

I had the dubious pleasure of watching this at the Millenium Stadium. The Welsh speccies were more like RL fans than the English stuck up idiots. They were crying out for a decent game. Couldn't believe the sending off, bonkers.
Left about 10 minutes after half time, couldn't take any more. Wales had several chances for a dropgoal that I saw, all they did was take it further away from the sticks,

Very poor basic skills that I saw, passing and catching etc. The French were dire.

Shan't be watching any more after I was pressganged into this today to raise money for charity

Next time you want to help the needy, give blood. It'll be cheaper and a lot less painful.

Yeah I know, we were doing a charity bike ride, raised about a grand with the bucket collection then rode down to Bristol and Taunton. Riding to every first class cricket ground. www.justgiving.com/bigcricketride
