Eng might lose this one. Taken Aus far too lightly.

I would say Australia are losing this one. They have thrown away chance on chance
England might well stupid their way to defeat. Clearly the coaching at U20 level is the same as at senior level.

A draw's probably a good result for England given how lacking we across the 80.

Blessed in the end due to Aussie decisions mixed with some decent defence
That Aussie attack in the 79th minute should always have been the winning try - idiotic decision-making from the ball carrier, not seeing either of the unmarked support runners, instead closing down the wide option by running diagonally towards the touch line, followed by a panicked offload with the receiver easily bundled into touch. A real head in hands moment for the coach.

It's on S4C.
I think WR show matches only if no one has paid for it.

They've got it as an option on their website, but if you click it it just plays the Japan - New Zealand game (for me at least)

Shame that I can't see a way for Georgia to get into semis.

Not a good look. Our scrum is nowhere near Argentina. Is that the best we have.

Argentina 9....Bookies 0
