To be honest, for me a different flag and anthem is not a deal breaker for a united Ireland.  But jeez, can we not have a better united national anthem than Ireland's Call?  From various fora I can see I'm clearly not the only one who hates it.  The lyrics make Ireland sound like not so much a country but a mobile phone or a telemarketing firm.

This craic about the Welsh attack coach is nuts. Allegedly betting on what the first score would be in their games - i.e forward/back/penalty/try etc and then trying to come up with the likeliest moves to make such occurrences happen. Wales could be a total shambles at this RWC.

Where did you read the report about the types of bets he was placing?

Was a screenshot of a Whatsapp message I was sent on - which is why I said 'allegedly' as I'm not sure of the source of it. If ultimately found to be true though that is proper mental.
 
There was other allegations including him placing a 6k bet on England to win the tournament and also a bet on Welsh scrumhalf Rhys Webb not going to the RWC.

Was just chatting to my brothers father in law today, Welsh Rugby referee and he said the same as above although three seems to be a large chunk of their support who wanted him gone anyway

Russia held their own in that first half.

Japan playing their normal game which is speedy and highly intense. However, they are only leading by five and trailed for most of the half. Their handling has been woeful and a similar performance against us and the Scots won’t work.

Caught the end of the game (last 15 minutes)

Agree neither of these are going to cause ourselves or Scotland much bother. 

Both pretty much just speed merchants but as soon as any tackle is made they've been dropped.

I feel Japan will wilt under our pressure style of game. It’s something that other countries could play around, but not Japan. I just felt they looked technically weak, and generally made hard work of breaking down a team that had fairly poor pre-World Cup results.

I always felt Japan’s best hope of a shock is against Scotland. It could be one of the most entertaining games to watch as both teams will want to play running rugby. Ireland will bludgeon Japan.

Argentina haven’t got started st all. France look far more composed and could be up by more than 17.

Very good. They’ve messed up two nice chances too. It’s as though they realised they were at a World Cup at half time.

A real classic. 

Technically suspect, but brilliant for the spectators. France could have closed out the game but had to rely on mere inches to save them.
