I think Evans is a better player than either of the Welsh wingers on show... certainly faster.

Poor decision from JK and to me shows why he never quite went all the way as a coach, excellent though he was. JK is one of those 'you have to earn the jersey' coaches. Spot on at club level, but at international level not so much. It still applies but you also have to be a little adventurous, thats kind of the point for the less fancied teams. Star quality counts for a lot in knockout competition and I'm afraid that relatively unknown as Kyle is, he still has way more than any of the other Welsh backs on the field. Poor decision IMHO. These games are as much about individuals than teams, far more so than the club game and I think JK and a few others struggle with that.

However I'm probably biased as I'm a big fans of Evans and I think its such a shame that A: He has got here so late in his career. B: He's now with us and is probably our 4th choice winger when in the past he'd probably have been much higher.

Wales so unlucky not grabbing a draw at the end. Panic attack from Aekins on their last play blew a golden opportunity.
Another good game for the viewers though.

Certainly have.

TBH the only team bot to fire at all in the first round were the fancied Samoans.

But overall been really impressed with the WC so far, crowds are ok and the games are good.
