It will go when it stops being a cash cow .
Pretty much — players being flogged to death doesnt seem to matter a fuck once the cash is flowing.
Totally agree. The lions should be finished in the modern game.
New Zealand leading Wales 7-0 after 10 minutes I see. Could anyone tuning in be so good as to provide regular match updates. Won’t get to see it.
Wales bring it back to 14-7. Beauden walked through the Taff defence for the All Blacks second. Hallam Amos with the reply after a lovely zipped pass from Patchell.
Patchell penalty after another period of Welsh pressure has it back to 14-10. Play goes back up the other end, Wales look to have recovered the ball on their own 22 but gift it away. NZ try for Ben Smith a few phases later, goes through three or four half-tackle attempts.
NZ 21 Wales 10
Ben Smith added another before the break, and Ryan Crotty has just gone in again
NZ 35 Wales 10
The fifty-burger is on again here
Are the Oirish rubby set hoping for a wider winning margin here than what NZ hockeyed Ireland by? Small victories and all that @anon61878697
‘Got the whole way’
That’s fantastic. Beat Scotland (twice!) and Russia. Where’s my POTY? It has to be - has to be - a wum.
12 years in charge and no wins versus New Zealand.
There’s a third place play off
Is there lads watching the game . Though most of the Welsh and nz team gone home
Fairly common for world cups no?
The Little League World Series has it too. Vital games. Shur didnt the FA Cup have it too.
What a pointless pile of fucking excrement.
Josh Adams with his seventh try of the tournament, seals the top tryscorer gong.
NZ 35 Wales 17
This is a very brave Welsh performance given that New Zealand have been able to unleash players of the quality of Sonny Bill Williams, Ben Smith, Ryan Crotty, Rieko Ioane and Jordie Barrett, all of them exceedingly fresh and chomping at the bit to prove the selectors wrong
A battered and bruised Welsh team still giving it loads against the All Blacks. NZ have faced four 6 Nations team in this World Cup (W2, L1, D1) and the Irish team were the only ones that didn’t give them a game. Ireland have really let the northern hemisphere down in this World Cup, again.
Even Italy did better against NZ than Ireland.
