I agree. Why on Earth did the Ireland player kick for touch at the end - or kick at all - knowing that the gong had sounded? Warburton’s view is probably right - Ireland were due a losing bonus point so didn’t want to risk conceding any more.

Agreed - Wales were excellent in the first half and hung on very well in the second, thought Australia were too lippy.

Well done to Wales. Still think the Aussies should've had 2 sin-bins, but TMO said no. On that note, some good news for England & Piers Francis . . . Yes, i'm a N'ton Saints fan, so maybe slightly biased & glad Dan Bigger didn't get too hurt.

Well done to Wales for grinding out that Australia win the other day. It's shaping into a good tournament. Got to love the enthusiasm of the Japanese crowds too. It puts the empty Doha athletics world championship stadium to shame that's for sure. Edited by dollardays (01 Oct 2019 12.20am)

I predict an England win Saturday - probably not an easy one. Although, Argentina may well be more dangerous than France - which is next week.

Great to see Wales come out on top in the first big North v South fixture. England should win on Saturday. Argentina have been getting better since their introduction to the rugby championship and the creation of the Jaguars. England's inconsistency is a real concern for me. Any lack of concentration and they will be in trouble
