    What a terrible second half from Wales, they won’t be happy in the valleys tonight.

    That game was Wales for the taking, they were dominating so much at 10-0 up midway through the first half and failed to capitalize. But this wasn't just about Wales failing, Argentina deserve all the credit though, once they actually got themselves going in the game.

    What the Argentine coach did in re-organzing his side at half time and set them up for success in the second half was quality. They did get a little fortunate once or twice with ref calls but it was real old school stuff from Argentina, with the pick and rolls etc, and Welsh fans will be having nightmares about that second half for the next 4 years at least. Even that try saving tackle near the end!

    Great games so far..

    Ireland will need to make less mistakes if they want to prevail.

    Poor try to give away from Ireland’s perspective, but that was devastating from New Zealand.

    Ireland throwing away the best chance they'll have to win the World Cup. Too many basic errors and they keep being surprised by the Kiwis going straight through their centre. Pity really because they've been the best team in the world for a while but if you can't do it in knockout competition then you'll be forgotten.

    That’s a shocker from Sexton.

    Had chance early in the game to get 3 points but went for touch, sexton just missed a sitter for a conversion , could rue the day.

    That’s a huge miss from Sexton, that could mean all the difference.
