Wed 19 Oct: RLWC: Wales v Cook Islands KO 7.30pm

[The Mighty Trin]

Outstanding from Wales so close - what a great game. Hope we got a few neutrals tuning in to see it on bbc2

[Davo5]

Another cracking game,Wales were so close at the end there.

[Welshleaguelover]

I'm proud of the effort from all the boys.

Davies was fantastic late. Belting and dump tackling.

Not meaning to sound bitter... But at least most of our lads have actually been to the country they're representing.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Well, iPlayer decided to stop working at the 78:30 mark! By the sounds of it, it was a dramatic ending!

[JimBronco]

Really enjoyed that. Wales showed so much heart and determination. Cook Islands poured it on them during the second half but they still kept it close right to the end.

I normally complain about Thursday night rugby, never again

We must contemplate and sadly deal with a day off.

Am at a concert Friday night but will round the night off with watching on the iPlayer.

[Toby Chopra]

Wow, what a finish! Loving this World Cup

[MZH]

Gutsy effort from Wales, I think the Cook Islanders just about deserved it, but that was a huge performance from a mostly semi pro side.

[JohnM]

Yes. Well done Wales. Good game. I felt though that both sides fell short of creativity close to the line. Cook Islands more so than Wales, but then Cook Islands were camped on Wales line again and again.

[WelshpoolMarauder]

Gutted for the Welsh boys, very proud of their effort. 

Watching on the iPlayer, it cut out on me just on the charge down - agony until the feed came back...

[MattSantos]

'Happy' to lose at the bookies for that.

Oh Wales.

Go outside and play with a rugby ball!

Watch the Clive Sullivan feature on i-player. Saved it for the 1st blank day.

Group D bringing the tournament to life!

Yeah, happened for me too! What's happening!?

[clwydianrange]

Great game to watch, both teams giving it all. That little fumble at the end so crucial. A draw would have been a fair result.

[JimBronco]

I've made money from both underdogs the past two nights (Papua New Guinea and Wales). Think I'll put the winnings on Scotland to beat the Aussies on Friday...

 

 

 

...or maybe not 

[Hughsehhh]

Fair play boys, what a performance. A cliche, but nothing left out there on the pitch. Kear got every ounce of skill and effort the lads could muster

Just wondering why you didn't watch it on BBC2.

[DavidM]

Interesting and enjoyable game , kept you gripped to the end 

[BroncoFan]

Unbelievable, Wales had a 3 on 1, feel for Aekins.

Gelling man of the match imo.

[welshmagpie]

I’m an incredibly proud Welshman tonight. What an effort from those boys out there. Heartbreaking at the end but plenty to be proud of. 
 

Yet another example of ‘more internationals please’ - to improve this team further.

"Office" TV via an XBOX. Then I can monitor people ranting on here at the same time on a PC.
