Shocking refereeing.

When even jiffy says it’s a penalty against Wales, you know it’s a bad call

Well done TightHEAD. Once again your rugby knowledge knows no bounds

At 24-24 you were bricking it.

Nice to see a young team respond well to pressure.

Touchjudges were being bullied and influenced by the crowd, not dissapointing really.

Didn't get to see the match as Mrs Maine Man was working and left me to do the housework. These modern women and their silly ideas. Anyhow, was it wales were brilliant or Tonga sh1te or was it a bit of both? I've seen a couple of tries and they were absolute crackers.

How do you say Troll in Japanese?

Looks like Wales have a fight on there hands. Tonga doing well to come back and go in to half time only 7 points down.

I expect Wales to win this game. But i would not count Tonga out too soon.

Wales 74 Tonga 24

Great try from Tonga. who would of thought that such a big man could run so fast.

Kuso debu. I bet you are too.

Do you know the Lottery numbers for this week and next week?

That was a good guess at the final result.

Well played Wales a good win today.

Moral victory for Tonga though due to Wales being offside the whole game

How can Wales be offside all game every game (according to you Scots) and get away with it? It’s just not possible.

You’re right that should have been a red card for the Tonga no.6.

While Gats will be a little worried about the 20 minutes that saw Tonga pull it back to all square from 24-3 down, the other 60 minutes were pretty special.

Fitness played a part, Tonga just stopped tackling 50mins onwards

Here we go.... the expert is back. Perhaps this is something that can be rectified by say, 14 changes?

Yes he usually is a troll. However when it came back to 24 all were you confident, or a little worried?

As it turned out your lads responded magnificently. Which players from yesterday do you feel did enough to play next week?

Why the hell was my comment removed? Strange. I’ll say it again, you got it wrong. Yes another call wrong, you were like 50 points off the mark. #embarrassing

I was confident a 2nd and 3rd stream bunch of kids would have been able to run some big fat lads around in the last 25 as they did.

Fair enough. What about the second question?

Love the triple cooked chip on your shoulder.

You were handed the game against SA and you still Poopie the bed

Yes, and despite being pretty much given the game they still pooed the bed.

Sorry fella just hit the complaint button instead of the quote button, these things happen from time to time.

It was probably off topic and offensive though!

But yes I got the scoreline wrong, 50 unanswered 2nd half points took most by surprise to be fair.

The stadium was silent at 24-24, and it felt like I was the only one applauding the Tongans try.

I hope Wales get away with being constantly offside all this week as well if it means we end up beating the Saffas.

Perhaps England should have done the same against Japan, then they might not have looked so ordinary, and perhaps if Scotland did it as well they would have beaten South Africa.

But of course that would have been a different story.

We could have decided to train fully for the week rather than replicate conditions we'll see in the world cup but hey ho.

Yeah and they were offside all game too.

I don’t do off topic.

Not so sure about them letting you back in though, after what you did during the Australia game...
