RWC: WAL v URU (Millenium) Pool D

[boyo]

I thought it was very poor form, the Welsh commentator saying it was a good thing the Uruguayan player didn't take a dive. Talk about casual sterotyping.

What channel are you watching? FS2 has an Englishman and an Irishman

 

[Omar Comin']

Uruguay seem to be a team of pretty decent rugby players to me. Good basics and well organised. They're just not the same size as professional players!

 

[Cardiffblue]

I've got itv with Shane Williams plus a.n.other orc

 

[Cardiffblue]

Bloody awful rwc themed adverts

Is that the start of a joke?

But you're right! I meant to type Irishman. Doh.

 

[GTPIH]

Wales copping a few injuries

You know this is kind of disgraceful refereeing. Poite is being VERY lenient to the Uruguayans(?) in the scrum. If that was Aus in the scrum he'd penalise us every time. I understand why he's doing it but I think you have to referee a fair game.

 

[Omar Comin']

Wales are so boring.

 

[boyo]

URU have the dropsies.

 

[Bairdy]

Very clinical by the Welsh bench in the last 20.......
.......

 

[Cardiffblue]

That'll do

Yet more injuries for the Wale. Corey Allen gone now and rumours of a prop as well who you would assume is James. Have the Welsh players got too big over the summer? EDIT I think it is even worse than that, Lee and James have tight calves (compartment syndrome?) and Jarvis has popped a rib cartilage. That leaves only three fit props in the squad. Someone might have to be dropped out of the squad just so Wales can name four props for Saturday and once you are subbed out you can't come back in. The Bandy Legged assassin has a dead leg as well.

Will make victory even sweeter.

I was with you, but the injury list is starting to get silly at this stage.

I was with you, but the injury list is starting to get silly at this stage.

To be honest I am wondering what supplements they have been on in these training camps. What's happening looks similar to Essendon.

 

[Dai bando]

Too many injuries now Allen out James and lee injured wont know until later today/tomorrow, Williams looks like a dead leg but could be more also no news on AWJ could have been a worst injury than first suspected.

I fear another Galant year, but losses, half our bloody team are injured.

Nah. Saw it in a dream last night.

Awj will play against orcs. The man formerly known as Toby will play. Samson will play a half replaced by Francis. Baldwin and melon in front row. Sanjay will be rested and Morgan will replace him. Nipper, Biggar, dr jaw, Scott Williams, cuthbert dropped, Amos and gogzilla.

Ok I grant you the bench will look like Scutari during the Crimean war. But the best news Dai is we win! Then A hospital train will be waiting in Paddington to whisk them back to a secret location where they will be put the bits back together ready to play Australia.

So that's the England game sorted. Immediate Problem is finding a 2nd xv team for Fiji

 

[Cardiffblue]

Btw. Back row is a dilemma. Warbs was captain Anonymous at blind side flanker and yet tips is wasted on the bench

 

[Quick Hands]

We don't want this to be the mauling world cup.

Sadly it's already the mauling world cup. I think every game has had at least one try from a rolling maul and some teams go to the maul from every lineout - in many cases looking for the penalty.

From what I've seen, referees only know 2 penalty infringements at the maul: 1 defending playing joining from the side, and
2 defending player/s collapsing

Nothing else is penalised.

Welsh commentator? He's lucky there wasn't an Uruguayan in the box with him - would've been able to tell the Welshie that, unlike Wales, they've at least won 2 world cups.
