Rugby World Cup: Wales fans’ joy after Australia mauled
The Rugby World Cup is heating up after Wales shockingly beat Australia to seal a place in the World Cup quarter-finals.
Welsh fans watched in joy and disbelief as their team battered Australia.
Wales didn’t just beat Australia, they mauled them, with a record 40-6 win. Australia – two-time World Cup champions are now left looking for answers, as they are close to being knocked out of a World Cup in the pool stage, for the very first time.
But for the Welsh fans, it’s time to start believing they could win the whole tournament.
According to BBC Sport, one fan leaving the ground called the Welsh performance “outstanding.”
“Fair play, we got it… I think we’re the fittest team in the competition, and we’re gonna win it!” he said.
Another fan, Nicholas, described it as “amazing”.
“We came out here in high hopes, and we destroyed them,” he said.
“Incredible,” was the adjective of choice for Einion Davies, who travelled to Lyon from Llangollen, Denbighshire.
“We started the first half a bit nervous, but second half we were comfortable all the way,” he said.
“I can’t quite believe that performance after the Fiji and Portugal games. But we know we can do it now – looking forward to the next round.”
