Rugby World Cup 2011

[screenexile]

Fcuk just thinking about it they have Jones or Hook to come back in. Serious quality!!!

The Welsh have their house well in order and they will be hard stopped even by the All Blacks!

Wales or France? Fancy the French to maybe go all the way but more in hope than logic. Australia have be really really decimated by injuries. Looks like my ould friend Adam-Ashley Cooper will have to play full-back as Beale cries off injured. Real pity too, Beale is the best fullback in world rugby. I doubt if they will beat the Ab's now. At the same time the key to beating the Ab's lies in closing out the inside centre. With Carter gone and SBW or Umaga out of it the AB attack will crumble.

The forwards as a unit are poor but a team would still have to overcome McCaw, Kaino and Read. That's were the ozzies will hit the rocks but the French could possibly outplay them. Dusaitor is a great leader and brilliant 6. Bonnaire is the weakest of the three. Harry is a better 8 in my eyes than Read, a unique athlete and good warrior.

I think we shit the bet against a good Welsh side. The Welsh have a chance if everything goes their way and the French are off colour. That is the way it went against Ireland. I would like to see the Welsh win but will be a bit sickened as it should be Ireland.

France by 10 I think, still not convinced by Wales.

[Denn Forever]

Hope the wheels stay on the Welsh bandwagon.  25,000 in the Millenium stadium.

[Capt Pat]

On to the punditry. I think ITV and Rte have had a solid world cup. But setanta with Williams and Franno being world class are well ahead.

[Capt Pat]

A good start from Wales but Adam Jones has gone off injured and hook misses a kickable penalty. 3-0 Wales.

[redhandloo]

Harsh. Yellow would have sufficed

[fitzroyalty]

Ref must have a tenner on France.

[Denn Forever]

If they get through will be be  back for the final?

[redhandloo]

Welsh scrum struggling since jones went off

[Dinny Breen]

It was illegal, he turned him in the air and dropped him on his head ffs. Wreckless irresponsibility and stupidity. The ref had no choice.

[Capt Pat]

Ref went to Blackrock college. Payback for last week. I thought it was a yellow card perhaps but red. Nothing is going Wales way so far in this game.

Perhaps reckless, but he seemed to catch him flush in the tackle, don't think it was malicious though.. Typical France always seem to get the rub of the green!!

Looked like clerc jumped into the tackle which didn't help warburton
