Am I missing something with this WC but last night they read out the team line ups and there were five named substitutes. I hadn’t picked up on this previously.

Has been the same at every game. Someone pointed out the 5th sub is only if they have multiple concussions.

Thanks. For some reason this passed me by.

I'd missed it as well. Thought it was just like when they name 12 subs in the football WC that they had an extra option but apparently not.

Wales played their hearts out, and having seen the effort they put in back in June in Albi v France in scorching temperatures i am not surprised.

England v PNG is gonna be a very very interesting fixture.

Well done to Wales by the way. Had the chance to meet the team and the staff in 2016 in Monza for the qualifiers and they really love this game. More International are needed, in order to give these players more caps and experience.

Monza was a great trip, the Saturday night was memorable for many reasons. I remember some kind of police chief coming and check us out in the bar we were in to make sure we weren't football hooligans!!

It was a great game and a great weekend too!

The one disappointment for me in an otherwise admirable Wales performance was their kicking game. Sterile, unimaginative and speculative, better execution might have led to a score or two.

I agree, the Welsh No7 didn’t have his kicking boots with him.

Wales have been the most impressive of the three other home nations - by a long way and the most organic. There are lessons to be learned in their approach.
