All good points - in 2007 - by the time England hit the QFs against Austaralia - we were battle hardened and mugged them - the French did the same in their QFs - although the pressure finally got to them - so its all on.
But another way of looking at it from my point of view is this - I thought Wales were over estimating their ability b4 the tournament (as you know from prev postings) and the question is - have I been proved wrong? ....... hear me out here ...... Sure they were excellent on the weekend should of but didnt win blah blah blah - however we dont know how good this group actually is yet - What if Wales beat Samoa and Samoa beat the boks - what if Fiji come to the party - what if there is a draw or 2 - Samoa looked good yesterday - SA took the only chances they had - whos to say they will get better PDV is mental dont forget.
You can tell this tournament is tighter than before - I never realised we use3ds the bonus points system until last Saturday - apparently its been in since 03 - Ive never needed to look before
We may see bonus points deciding the groups yet WWW
Also - at this stage (1 game in) I would like to point out that Englands group is looking just as tight as Wales. Although it looks more like it could be who spoils what for who! I have a feeling that bonus points could come into play in this group as well - for second place mind!
I fancy Wales to progress - which I diodnt before - although this weekend is MAHOOOOOSIVE
Hahaha exciting isn't it!!
There could well be an upset, I can't remember it being so competitive before, and of course, Wales may yet be a victim of this, I personally don't think so but...... anything might happen
I think Englands group will start to take a more defined shape after this weekend. Something tells me it will be a comfortable win for you guys, maybe even a BP
For Wales?
1. Win the game
2. Deny losing BP
3. Get 4 try BP
(any of the above for me! haha)
Wales need to worry about Samoa and Fiji before considering Australia. I really look forward to those games, should be great to watch.
I'm sure Wales are Aristo, i'm a fan though so I can dream a little further on.
