I can barely understand the Welsh commentator. Like, 10%, listening carefully.

Shane Williams
Too fast for you?

[MiketheSnow]

Deliberate knock down by Watson with a 2-man overlap.

Yellow card.

Wales take the quick pen and two deft kicks from Biggar and North goes over

Wales 10 - 0 England
33 mins gone

[Wairau]

yep, deserved yellow card.
Itoje also attempted the same earlier in the move
hate that shit

[Wairau]

Shane Williams

His voice is too fast for his mouth.
Shane Williams? Sounds like some big fat old guy.

lovely try (my stream is minutes late...)

[MiketheSnow]

That's a half to be very happy with

Yes, it was.... but you know what happens if Wales wins this?
Go England!

Wales looking much better team so far.
If Wales win this: Shane Williams will get excited and talk too much.

[MiketheSnow]

Turgid arm wrestle

Wales 10 - 6 England
62 mins gone

[Wairau]

the only way we stay number 1 is if this is a draw.
Wales win, they become #1 (well done!)
England win, and become #1
England Vs Ireland next week is chance for both teams.

I have long thought the ranking system to be designed against NZ-we get nothing for beating teams under us. We really should have over 100...

Watching listening to the game on C4. Andrew Cotter is making the game watchable - great commentator

Ickle Shane is a bit rubbish IMHO as a comments man. Better than Jonathan "space out wide" Davies, but that's not hard. English comments bloke is even worse.

[MiketheSnow]

We now deserve to lose this

[Victor Meldrew]

@MiketheSnow

It's a bit of a shit game isn't it?

[MiketheSnow]

Yep

[MiketheSnow]

But I'll take it

[Victor Meldrew]

@MiketheSnow

Time to switch over to the Saffa-Argie Friendly.

Wales 13 - 6 England
76 mins gone

Jarrod Evans finally on

[MiketheSnow]

Great defence by Wales

[MiketheSnow]

Wales 13 - 6 England

Not a classic but we've gone from shithouse to penthouse.

England looked bereft.

[Wairau]

That maul defence saved Wales from a draw and being 3rd place.....now, drum roll, NUMBER 1 congratulations!

1 (↑2) Wales 89.43 (+0.55)
2 (↓1) New Zealand 89.40 (+0.35)

England give the impression of giving lots of snappy accurate passes and then the receiver slows down...
