RWC! Wales must qualify now after the comeback in today's loss? I mean the Aussies did beat the All Blacks!

Question

Not in the RWC, but a short time back in the Tri-Nations they did!

Answer 1

yes they did back in the tri nations and lost once against the all blacks. wales are probably playing better than the other 6 nations teams who have been absolutely dreadful.

Answer 2

yes they did, but the All Blacks beat them 2 weeks later. And you cannot compare an Australian side that virtually only played in patches against Wales to the one that played against the ABs in Melbourne.

The playing accurace was very different and if Australia did turn up and play well for the full 80, the score would have been much bigger

Answer 3

wales are a sleeping giant   oggi oggi oggi  and they will get further than england

Answer 4

The trouble is they cant play well for 90 mns They have some world class players but still make basic errors that let them down .but they should qualify second

Answer 5

Right - I hate to burst your bubble, but the team Wales beat was Australia's second rate team.  Aus, SA, and NZ were preparing for the RWC from late 2006 and made many changes and trails.  They used the Autumn Internationals as a playing field to test new / old players and to work out strategies for the world cup.

Even if Wales do come back, they face SA in the quarter finals, and since there has only ever been 1 won and 1 drawn against SA since 1906, I don't much fancy Wales' chances...

Answer 6

no they havnt play against yet cos they are in diff group, aussie in group pool b, all black in pool c, wales in pool c.

Answer 7

aussie beat the all blacks/? in this RWC ...no yet they havent....
