Shame England don't have the All Blacks this autumn (or next summer obviously) we're not gonna know what level we are truly at till we play them.

Oh Scotland, Scotland, Scotland.

What a win for England though – some absolute mastery at times.

With both a football and Rugby international being held today in the same city there will be empty seats in both stadiums.

doubt that clever3000 I expect Leckwith to be pretty well full up as its a decisive WC match for us.

Wales are getting the turn out they deserve at the Millennium tonight. They're sh*te and so is the crowd numbers. Its so quiet there I'm expecting to hear train horns hooting from the nearby station.

Think the football is actually sold out.

Fans will be going to both I suspect...

We will see if the stadium starts clearing out around now.

Very scrappy first half on this match, second half has been good so far from a neutral perspective.

Sky Sports 3.

2nd string not really doing themselves many favours it seems.


Very good from England.

Any win will do given our recent form.Japan next week and hopefully the chance to recapture some try scoring creativity. Then it's the Springboks to end this series and they look a poor side in transition under a new coach.

We at least saw some effort to alter our back line this afternoon by dropping Jaimie Roberts for the first time I can remember.Our biggest issue for now and the future is finding more aggressive, ball carrying forwards. We lack that go forward threat with Faletau injured but his replacement Moriarty is improving every game. Our scrum was much better against a strong Pumas eight today and young replacement front rowers like Nicky Smith look good for the future.

Underestimate Japan at our peril next week, give some of the new blood a run out in that one

I think we could take South Africa, but you never know which South Africa will turn up on the day

Scotland nearly had Australia today, like with us in the past against Australia, Scotland got done at the death

England, what can one say, getting even better under Eddie Jones....Fully expecting a large contingent in the Lions squad for next summer

What do you think of the potential law change?

Aimed to make the game quicker and discourage deliberate offences?

A lot of gobsh*te from the Wales team up against JAP/NZ . I counted about 4 missed chances for tries for us and then we gave away one interception try to them. Plus our customary yellow card from a west wales player who hasn't got a clue.

Robert Howler the welsh coach has to stop picking his mates and begin with in form players who can player better than this.

Wales have been very poor in this second half and the atmosphere is completely dead not surprisingly.

I know it's not the Six Nations yet and a lot can change but you see this Wales performance and comparatively to England and Ireland they're gonna be nowhere in the final reckoning.

Unacceptable, we should have been beating Japan comfortably today

We play like this against South Africa next week, we will get absolutely hammered no matter what form they are in right now

Utter rubbish from Wales. Players with zero intensity from the kick off and brainless coaching.About time we adopted a professional attitude to selection and dropped a few players who are too comfortable about not losing the shirt.

Composure from Sam Davies with a drop goal to maybe sneak an undeserved win.

Final score
Wales 33-30 Japan

Hard lines Japan, you deserved at least the draw.
