Which we saw almost none of this evening with Libbok at 10?

Most of the Bok threat against Ireland was their pure power in the forward pack, winning collissions and dominating a few scrums. Wasn't a great game to show Libbok at his best really. Faff seems to be a more consistent kicker on the whole from what I've seen in recent games, seems odd he doesn't take more of the kicking duties, or even Kolbe has a decent boot on him if I remember correctly?
At this level, with defences as good as they are and tight winning margins a very accurate and consistent kicker is critical. Keep the scoreboard ticking and ramp up the pressure. A defence is completely neutralised if you kick over the top and forces then to come at you and take more chances. The England 14 man game was a good example.

Scotland will need to get the finger out.
Might not even have qualification to the world Cup secured.

Scotland doing okish so far but I'm not taking anything for granted!

Pretty sure that'll go up to a red.

This is awful from Australia. Thats them gone pretty much.
Man of Honour
Wales will be happy but really this is the worse Australian team I've ever seen - its like they've forgotten how to play rugby.
Good win for Scotland earlier - tough Tonga side but bonus point win and a decent score-line, a few mistakes that we need to sort out before Ireland.

Love Eddie Jones the panto villain. Every time he's on the big screen the whole crowd booing. Haha.
Great result for Wales, Aus didn't really turn up.

Bring it on. And well played Wales.Australia were poor, Wales looked comfortable though, love to see it.
You English boys looking forward to Fiji 2.0?
Welsh fan here and delighted with the win but where were Australia? Other than that 20min purple patch in the first half they never looked like doing anything. Granted Welsh defence was really good and the forwards dominated but I expected more from Australia.
Ah well never mind. Great win and having a good night celebrating.
That Gareth Davies's try was top draw

20 minutes in and the Italians already have their heads down. Not good enough, they need more backbone even if they're going to lose.

Feeling sorry for Italy here. They've just not got into the game and NZ are being absolutely ruthless!

Demolition didn't quite cover it. That first try was a thing of beauty but Italy have looked totally out of it since.
