Yes, all the disrespectful stuff is bollocks. If they want to do it, it's up to them, but it's not like it's the official national anthem or anything.

I listened to the Ireland game today whilst driving up to Villa Park. I was surprised at hearing the Irish fans during the Hakka as I figured it was a sacred cow in rugby - have never played the game but over the years have grown to love big international games. My immediate thought was that the Irish fans had pissed off the Kiwis and that they would go out to make. Sounds like they did just that.

Oh la la, looks like "good France" might have turned up today, rather than "shambolic France".
Also, I just noticed the lack of sponsor logos on the shirts, and it looks brilliant. Royal blue vs. Scarlet red, like a classic Subbuteo.

France really should have got more points at the end of the half. Could end up costing them.

France have a tendency to forget there is a 2nd half to play. 9 points ahead is not enough.

Normal service resumed, as France do something completely ridiculous to handicap themselves. Even in rugby, elbowing an opponent in the face is frowned upon.

3 minutes that scrum took off the clock.
World Rugby needs to sort this out.

We can only blame ourselves for this. We gave the stick to get beaten. Well done Wales and good luck for the semi.

The first game I watched in full (even going to games live, I spent so much time queueing for beer) and enjoyed at this world cup.
Have a soft spot for Wales because of my mum.
My house now is like fucking carnival. Flags, shirts, wife's mates. It's not so bad in the respect that I'm surrounded by 7 Japanese women, just the squealing I can't bear. (and asking me to explain the rules of a scrum..I'm none the wiser, I'm afraid).
The miserable twat that I am. Come on South Africa.

I was just asked if I know the 'moves' to the haka. Oh dear.

I think the strip for the decisive try probably was slightly forward, but difficult to overrule the onfield decision.
Utter utter stupidity for the red card. France were comfortably the better side with a full compliment. Also what on earth were France playing at not using a no 8 in that scrum towards the end? Madness.

I really don’t understand the French tactics in the second half. Even before the sending off I felt that they’d changed their game plan and invited Wales back into the game. A strange decision by the French coach.
