Can't even see us getting out of our group. England will be strong at home, and Australia have hit some huge form....they beat new Zealand last weekend, and won the rugby championship. They look really good. Also we seem to have a mental block when it comes to beating aus in recent times, close games but they always seem to beat us by the odd few points. Gonna be tough for us

No. Think we will have a struggle on our hands to get out of the group, and even if we do that, the likelihood us we will be facing NZ in the next round. Was really disappointed with Saturday's debacle, aswell.

I put £2 on an each way double, Wales to win the rugby world cup and Wales to win the euros. Complete long shot, but at around 5000/1 it was worth a chance :D

If they play anything like they did against Ireland, it's not happening. I know there were younger players in the team, but they were all over the place. Hallam Amos looked promising but he's no Leigh Halfpenny.

I think Gatland like Slade are stuck in the past,and both refuse to think on their feet, both will not change a plan even though it's not working..... So in answer to your question, no Wales will not win the World Cup

Australia are really looking decent and beat the all blacks on the weekend. We could really struggle to get out of our group, unless we can beat England at Twickers. I think Ireland are the best N Hemisphere team at the moment and Australia are the best Southen Hemisphere team.

Fancy Ireland as an outside bet tbh, if they win their group they be got a pretty clear path through to the semis

You'd have a better chance of scooping the Euromillions jackpot with that two quid.

Might as well have thrown that £2 down the bog, some people really are shit with their money. ;)

If that happened half the population of wales would be killed off due to alcohol poisoning.
