RWC 2011 QF1: Ireland v Wales (W Pool C v RU Pool D)

[grievous]

Hope halftime doesnt deflate the Irish possesion or Wales will get in. Ireland will go back to their OGara drop kicks as they cant get past Welsh defense

 

[Ruggo]

Go Wales.

 

[whatty]

I think Joubert is having a blinder, and can only hope Lawrence referees in a similar manner tomorrow.

Wishful thinking?

Does not bother me, spending time debating on how bad a ref is going to be especially the bias he will show to the opposition is just a complete waste of time.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Irish try there for mine.

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

Geez, how do you pick this one?

 

[AngrySeahorse]

10-all.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Far out just give the ball to Roberts all game.

Edit: Wales are getting a bit lazy at the breakdown.

 

[grievous]

Irish asleep there, poor stuff

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Woohoo Wales!

 

[mark_s]

Jeez i still don't who I want to win this. Game seems to be flying by timewise. Priestland hits the post. Christ.

 

[grievous]

Welsh give Irish a chance

 

[mark_s]

Why is iLand not attacking the breakdown like they did V Aus?

 

[Scotty]

Joubert allowing a lot of hands in the ruck and general loitering

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Fantastic work Leigh Halfpenny.

Edit: On the same page regards to Joubert Scotty but he's done alright I think, compared to others...main one thats bugged me is tackler not letting go, thats bothered me a lot. All else very good game.

Edit: WALES IN!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Irish defence non existant there).

 

[mark_s]

Joubert is having a cracker for mine. Wales with the win and 5 point lead with 20mins to go. Could be able to do it anad I reckon we might see a drop goal soon.

 

[mark_s]

and the men in red are in

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

Can't believe what I'm seeing. Wales are killing them.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

O'Driscoll needs a hug...

 

[mark_s]

This should be it. Penalty to put wales more than 2 converted tries ahead. Wales have been impressive but I have been a little disappointed by iLand. Maybe they played their grand final against Aus as they looked to have been off the pace a little today.

Edit, hits the post again so slim chance for the irish.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Magnificent defence from the Welsh. Irish have tried but just not enough from them.

....it's nice to be right too. Shame I didnt get home quick enough to put a bet on this! Spewing!
