[RWC2023 QF1] Wales vs Argentina (14/10/2023)

[Bada-Bing!]

I think that baby's face just sums up what Welsh fans are feeling right now.

 

[Bluemoon]

Yeah, Wales looking a bit desperate already. They still have 4 minutes, yet already looking for miracle offloads.

Man I hate it when I'm right.

Well done Argentina. I am slightly relieved, both of these teams will be absolutely destroyed by likely Ireland, and whatever is left have to play a 3rd place play off likely against another strong team.

 

[Reiser99]

I don't think William's would have even caught it anyway. Just thrown into no man's land for Sanchez to catch.

 

[IT157]

Well, I was completely wrong with my prediction.

But so was Matt Dawson and the La Rochelle fan who posts here so that's okay.

 

[spursindevon]

Oh well, never like to see Mr. Gatland lose

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Congratulations to Argentina, commiserations to Wales

My pre-match prediction was Wales by 10-12, this has flipped it all upside down - Ireland in danger now!

 

[Gavin]

£215 return on an ACCA bet which includes a Wales win.

Come on Wales

FFS Wales

Looks like I'll do the lottery tonight instead

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Very nice read from Sanchez. Fair to say I got every element of my prediction wrong. A controlled gameplan without Sanchez nullified the Welsh kicking game and from there it was a bit of a coinflip. Plus the Pumas pack did better than I expected.

I know Wales didn't have great options with Anscombe going down but picking Biggar and thereby settling for 1 or 2 tries a match means any game against Tier1 nation becomes loseable.

 

[Reiser99]

Wales just look like they got complacent after 20-30 minutes and then never got back to that level.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

No all NH semi lineup then.

 

[IT157]

Well, at least a quick trip for Biggar to go home.

 

[McTallshort]

Take the ******* camera off Bigger

 

[Ceteris]

The thought of not hearing Biggar's voice at this world cup is enough joy for me

Well deserved ! Argentina the better team in this contest by far.

 

[IT157]

Actually ended up being a good back and forth quarter final.

 

[Reiser99]

Congrats Argentina. They started slowly, but finished the game well. Wales took their foot off the pace and outside of Williams's try the subs had no impact and intensity fell off again.

 

[ThebigARena]

Congratulations to Argentina.cheka knows how to beat us , apart from the first try very poor not clinical at all , rio dyer should of started but it's all hindsight we threw away the first half . Would of gone out at the semis anyway so saves that heartbreak lol!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

The BigArena is a bit quiet?!

 

[Roger Simon]

Congratulations Argentina. Well deserved win.

Not the best rugby, but yeah the scoreline made it exciting.
