Got to love the argie fans. 3 of the best months of my life in Argentina. Compared to one evening in a pub in Swansea. People throwing up and I swear one guy was laying dead on the floor

I absolutely love the place and the people. Would go back to Argentina in a flash, spent around a couple of months and would love to stay longer! Delighted for them.
 
Appreciate the ref's explanation, don't agree with it, but still
I think that will come back to bite referee Karl Dickinson. Rightly or wrongly they decided to enforce the rule around contact with the head, even in completely innocent head on head clashes the guy who initiated it was penalised for not taking enough care . The TMO brings these things up for a reason , they’re told to keep the play going , not interrupt unless they believe something potentially significant has been missed. You’d normally expect a penalty against for the clash , no more given the mitigation. Anyway, it happens , it is what it is 🤷‍♂️. I was disappointed in Wales performance and the result, too many basic mistakes, knock ons, overthrown lineouts etc, well done to Argentina .
 
Excited to see our game later
Ireland have the stronger starting lineup and are rightly favourites. In knockout rugby though it can be close and turn on slightest thing, a yellow card, injury etc. I think the ABs have a better bench and in Mackenzie on their bench have a real game changer to bring on . It should be a great contest to watch , looking forward to it.
 

All I can say at this point is, win, lose or draw, never, ever did I think I'd see the Emerald Isle going into a World Cup quarter-final vs the might of the All Backs as betting favourites.
Tiocfaidh ár lá.
Come on Ireland.
