It is an even match so far, both teams are playing reasonably well

Another 3 points for Wales and all the hard work by OZ amounts to nothing.

Man, what is up with game management at this WC?
Last night Faf is going for penalty goals when we should have gone to the corner.
Tonight Australia pretending they didn't need the 3 and opt for the corner when they should have just taken the points.

They've been all time bad each of the past six years. Quite remarkable. In 2018, it was the worst in 45 years, and they have yet to stop the bleed. As a fan of traditional Wallaby rugby, this is a very sad sight. I don't think they'll be a real power again. The balance of power is shifting to far towards Europe, like football. That Jones hasn't made any impact really terms you how bad they are right now.

A person can’t but feel Sad for OZ. What happened to there Rugby? Hooper Not being there, doesn’t make things better….I think they have some new and exiting players coming thru so they should do better….Hope they improve to become there best version again….The big 3 Southern Hemisphere Rugby teams has got some serious catching up to do….I am still hoping for a Miracle this WC….Hopefully the Boks or the AB can still take the Cup.

Australia should not have left the most experienced players at home.
Ok, they were never going to win - but this is an embarrassment.
This was hardly a rebuilding exercise.
Selecting young players to build for the future is only good when they are quality - not just young.
Many of these players do not have the potential to be test-level players.

Wow!
Who saw that coming?
I thought Wales had a chance to win but by 34 points?
Fantastic performance by the Welsh. Well done Boyos!

George Gregan is live on TV, and just said Australia have won 6 out of their last 24 games...
Time to fire everyone, including the bus driver

My god what's happened to Australian rugby.

Nope, they scraped by Fiji, where given a scare by Portugal and beat an abject Australian team. Still could make the semi's but they are miles off the top 4 teams.

I think the Wales team today might have pushed some of the Big 4 teams. Certainly better than under the last coach, who could have lost to Fiji.
They have a decent chance of making the semis , albeit the draw has helped.
