admin gone rogue part 2?

 

I reckon the Fiji no try at the end of the first half against Italy would be another contender - admittedly because the winger dropped the final one of thirty-odd passes rather than because of the video ref.

7752 if I heard the stadium announcer correctly on the telly.

And the PNG (no) try against Tonga

Tonga have actually been pretty shocking close to the line. Nowhere near clinical enough 

Most of the tries have just been a result of Welsh fatigue and ridiculous size mismatches. They won't have that against the better teams.

Short kick offs are pointless. Ireland did the same and just conceded more points.

Play the percentages.

Worked for Jamaica!

Surely that depends on the percentage you get back?

I want to see Anthony Walker and Sio Talakai square up, bouncing their ample bellies against each other. Maybe with an overspilling pint in hand too…

Its a shame this Wales team doesn't get more support from Wales. Really valiant in this tournament, arguably the best Wales performances (even in defeat) for a decade or more.

Day and night in comparison to the Welsh performances in 2017.

Very enjoyable game. Well done to Wales, top performance. They've been well above expectations in both games so far.

Yes it is. Wales can be really proud of how they have performed tonight.

Brave effort from Wales - a mile away from the thrashing some predicted.

For a smallish guy thought Elliott Kear's defence was outstanding tonight 

I think this guy is my small-scale RL hero, given absolutely stellar service to the game forever.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Really enjoyable game despite some questionable refereeing. Wales played their hearts out and should hold their heads up high. Tonga won't be winning anything based on this performance.

I’m hoping they can carry it on to their final match against PNG next Monday.

I hope Kear picks everyone who hasn't played a game. Solid effort that the squad can be proud of.

Forward passes are allowed at St Helens. After all, it's the home of the forward pass.😀😀😀

Elliott Kear really is a legend of the Welsh game. He always puts his hand up and always gives his all. If only his contemporaries like Flower and Dudson had done the same for Wales over the years.

Nice sports bra on Evans there… which is totally acceptable these days of course..

Walker could have done with one to be absolutely honest…
