That's my point about missed chances, I don't think we did too much wrong in open play.
All ifs and buts and not worth shit now. 😀
Wtf is going on with the goal kicking though?
Yeah - Jonny had a bit of a shocker didn't he?
In fact, everyone has had a shocker with kicking. Just look at the number of kicks that hit the posts. Waaaaaay more thn would be expected.
Well Australia seemed to do ok.
Why did I think the final was today? Oops!
Dizzy mare! 🙄

And another
Don't worry Capt. I thought the semi was today.
On the subject of the Welsh. Look at the last two games and how many points did they miss through bad kicking? Both were theirs to lose.
Bum
Not just you, CFH - if it's not today, why did they have the 3rd place playoff yesterday?
This is as annoying as Ashton now! 🙂

Toby Faletau Top Carrier (74), top Tackler gain with 74 made and none missed, jesus christ that boys impressive, just wait till he grows up!! Still not convinced he's an 8 and yesterdays performance at 7 was stellar IMO.
Problem with him at 7 is that there's another pretty awesome 7 in the Wales squad....!
Agree Hooky's performance is mostly related to lack of time at 10 this season...should be rectified when he starts getting regular gametime in this position
In summary I'm really proud of the Welsh team both on and off the pitch, but frustrated by the kicking letting us down....the major plus point being it must be the easiest part of the game to practice?
Wales have the best prospects for good performances for the next few years too
Hope the French realise how lucky they are to be in the final....at least they can thank Monsieur Rolland in his mother tongue 😉
Bring on the 6 nations!

You can never have too many good back rowers.
Outside half is where we seem to struggle recently though. Maybe Toby could learn how to play there?

Not bad for a Tongan 😉
Not bad for a Tongan who moved to Wales aged 7
HTH
I'd rather have our Tongan than your Samoan (the one that was almost deported) 😆

True. If he'd stayed in Tonga longer he might have beaten France 🙂
I'd rather have our Samoan than Matt Banahan 🙂
I'd rather have Luke Charteris than Matt Banahan

What, all on his own? Reminds me of a Max boyce joke

I'd rather have the tree in my front garden that Matt O'Banrahanrahan. It's more mobile and has better hands.
What, all on his own?
Probably not, but his real team did what neither of ours could....

Shall we discuss Shontayne Tape? Who, apart from being utterly pants, is a New Zealander. Who has played rugby, albeit not real rugby, for New Zealand at a full senior level.
Get back in your glass house, and put the stones down. 🙂
who's up then?
me! we're going to win the wc today*
*this statement is unlikely to be true.
Me. Hoping that the France from the first half of the QF play, rather than the France from the second half of the SF. And for a big ABs win 🙂
Could someone give Flashy a nudge? The poor soul got up nice and early yesterday to watch it and I fear that he'll miss it today.
Morning all. I have a hangover.
Can someone make me a coffee?
I'm getting ready by watching the 1987 final. Wonder if the French will show any of the fire here - Sean F just got kicked by the French hooker!
Would be making quad espresso based americano in a bit Flashie, but my grinder is ****in noisy and my wife and daughter are asleep 🙁 Have some nice new mexican beans to try as well 🙂
Watched that yesterday Dez. Loved the fact that only a pen was give 😉
Yeah, ref didn't seem that bothered...
Bigger win coming today, I reckon. If all the French can bring is "unpredictability" then I predict they'll get thrashed!
Hoping the French turn up for the game today, but wanting the ABs to hammer the crap out if them.
morning all
Neutral here hoping for good rugby and worthy winners.
Silly little dance time.
Here we go. Time for the ABs to have a w4nk.
Awww, the French are all holding hands!
Just as well the ABs get to the Haka, as their national anthem's pretty uninspiring - not sure about holding hands as a response though!
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!!!
"How ABOUT that then". Well wow ****kng wee.
