    Well, it must have been an incredibly tough week for the players. All things considered that's a really good effort, never looked like losing. Proud of that effort.

    Well said mate. Lots of different emotions for the players. Disappointed players, those that were playing their last test, Hansen’s last test and he’s tearing up.

              Shag and Gatland two of the great international coaches.

                Hansen said one bad game and you are out. Kinda true but if you reflect on the performances up to that time, we were vulnerable to a team that showed up and played smart.

                He has been a wonderful coach for a long time. Our best I think.

                  Red eyes welling up and choking back the emotions. Massive impact to reflect on.

                    Awesome to see Read and Hansen given massive applause during their after match interviews.

                    Gee we’ve really grown up as a rugby mad country haven’t we?

                      ITV coverage not rising to the moment.

                        I disagree actually.

                        Big crowd enjoyed it.

                        Lots of fans travel over for the semi finals onwards so it makes sense to have a game for half of the fans to get another game.

                        No doubt a big money spinner for both WR and the host nation.

                          I think, realistically, not much. It's weird, Wales have a real block Vs ABs. In Gatland's time only once have Wales Benn within ten. I think this result is pretty much part for the course, response when Wales were a bit bashed up and a day less rest

                              @Damo hard for the players, but likely more rugby in this game than the next. Though I know which one matters.

                                ITV interviewer doesn't seem to know that Gatland is the Lions 2021 coach.

                                      World Rugby really need to think carefully before awarding ITV the UK TV rights for future Rugby World Cups.

                                          Could have been so much worse
                                          But frustratingly so much better

                                          I think, realistically, not much. It's weird, Wales have a real block Vs ABs.

                                          On the bright side, we've beaten 2/3 other semi finalists πŸ˜›

                                          Yes and will still be ranked 3rd.

                                          Edit... 2nd world rankings.
                                          But yeah, 3rd RWC2019
