Rugby world cup

the score isnt missleading at all. Irelend didt kick for goal when they should of done in the first half. Wales solid defence and played well when they had the ball. Score reflects how they played i think!

Fair play dd, very honourable in defeat! Enjoy your holiday 😀

One last glitchy bumpy ****.

best try IMO

A couple more bottles of Pinot noir, that’s the new Wales!

Cracking game, Have to say the Welsh, against SA without a kicker, NZ without Carter….can dare to dream…Well done in defeat DD, be interesting to see if the English can do anything to suggest they can live with this Welsh team, who have improved hugely as the tournament has progressed.

Hope nobody minds if I re-post this at the top of this page in case anyone thinks I’m bitter and quiet 🙂

Could Ireland have been a bit more innovative with their tactics?

TBH, I can’t see what they could have changed. It was game-over for me when they went in 10-3 down at half time. With all that ball and possession in the first half, they should have gone in ahead. Wales were simply too strong in defence and took three great chances when presented – that’s where the difference lay today.

Proper game of rugby. Pity one of us had to go out.

Sorry, I have to go quiet for the rest of the day lads. I’m off on holiday for the week thankfully, to somewhere I can forget about rugby for a while. I’ll be cheering Wales on next week though – they’re mrs deadly’s team. I’m a bit gutted (for some of the green machine that won’t see another RWC) but like I said, no complaints whatsoever – Wales were awesome today. And given the ferocious defences, there was no ill discipline, nothing for anyone to whinge about for the next few days. Just a great advert for our two nations’ rugby.

Cymru am Byth

(or whatever it is you say)

Shame, I secretly fancied Ireland to reach the final

Bugger me what a game! Missed the last try ‘cos of a pressing engagement with last night’s curry 😳 🙁

Wales in a WC Final then? I really can’t see France beating them on this form and at the moment i can’t see England beating France next!

Tip of the hat in Darcy’s direction.

I really wanted to see Ireland push on but that Welsh squad is something else …a very well deserved and proud win.

Sorry for you DD but at least your lads went out trying to the very end. Bet i can’t say that for England in 2 hrs 🙁

I will take that bet, kind sir!

Nah, i can’t see England winning today. Don’t know why but i’ve a sense of resignation about this..

A very big well done to Wales from this very dissappointed Irish fan. Wales were better in almost every aspect of the game and deserve their victory.

I was very disappointed with Ireland, I got the impression that some of the players felt like they just had to turn up. Our error count cost us badly, but not to take it away from Wales they were awesome particularly in defense.

I hope Wales go on to do well in the rest of the RWC, they will have plenty of support from Ireland thats for sure.

So far I am 50% correct in my predictions…..scores are off though, but I am confident England can grind out an unattractive win.

*puts manly arm around BlindMelon’s shoulder*

Pint? 🙁

Now that’s a good idea DD!

Should i crack open the Bombardier i wonder?

not sure if the solid defence will be enough against the likes of NZ though but who knows

I think Wales fans should enjoy that fantastic victory for what it is today – and worry about stuff like that tomorrow. 🙂

Is it time to talk about McCaw’s injury?

Or is it time to sing some hymns and arias!

It didn’t do too badly against South Africa and I wager we’re carrying a bit more confidence now…

Sounds like a plan DD! Guinness of course

Melon, have some Brains, bach!

I had a mosy beautiful few pints of Ossian last night – Scotchish golden ale – wonderful stuff.

But yes, if they served Brains wherever I am today, I’d raise a glass to the Welsh contingent here – enjoy your day lads. 🙂

I now have to support England. Would far rather meet them than France next!

One bottle of Bombardier Burning Gold in front of me, sod the rest of the day! 😆

Rather attrective blonde lady in the choir, best i can say about this bloody anthem!

@ Captainflashheart… and it would be far more enjoyable to take England out of the tournament! (although id rather lose to france if we were to lose)

Found a case of Moorhouse’s Black Cat here in South Australia yesterday. I think I’ll start making my way through that now 🙂

Aussies in stocking decent beer shock!

France definitely ahead on national anthems so far.

I’m not really bothered who we get in the semis, it’ll take a good team to beat us.

Taken me 18 months to find it, and nearly that long to save up for it 😯

Zokes, can you recommend any nice and expensive tittybars restaurants in Sydney? 🙂

PMSL CFH!!!

Not sure about nice, but they’ll all be expensive!

Both teams looking not bad – nice to see the French have turned up for this game.

That’s OK. I won’t be paying!

🙂

@ CFH – yes, I remembered your bet – probably a good job! Only been to Sydders once though, and sadly I had little time for sight-seeing 🙁

Spidercam. Best thing to happen to rugby coverage.
