" I didn't want to go to Paris anyway, " was the wry reaction of Alison from Pembrokeshire.
" But I'm still very disappointed on behalf of the Welsh Team - They 've done so well So Far and This Was almost like one game too much.
" I thought Dan Biggar and Liam Williams" - both of whom are recovering from injuries - " were struggling and there were some handling errors, but that's just The Way The Game goes".
Ffion, also from Pembrokeshire, added: " It was a great game to be honest and I'm really happy for the Argentinians.

" I'm proud of Our Boys for getting this far though, it's an achievement in itself. "
Ian Morgan , from Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent , said: " We should have piled more points on them in The First half, but we just went to sleep in the Second Half , didn't come out. Very disappointed but we didn't deserve it. "
