RWC 2011 The 3rd/4th place: Wales vs. Australia

[TRF_Olyy]

Beale off will be a blow for Aus, though Cooper seems to be having a half decent game so far (crappy offload to AAC aside)


Barnes try!

 

[Black Heart]

New Zealand commentators claiming a shoulder charge there :huh:

Bias much?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Welsh saying the same - Hard to call as Williams was trying to jump to the side so the tackle hit his legs, and at the same time Pocock tried to join the tackle, so Williams went flying over Polota-Nau's shoulder

There was no poor intent in that. Both used their arms.

You can see the Welsh aren't up for this. I'm not I'm off to do something useful with my day. Hopefully this will be hooks last game at ten. He's running lateral bumping into the dummy runners and often offloading to static players.

It's a shame to end the tournament like this.

Don't give up hope yet. You guys still have Quade Cooper after all

Go then. Who cares? you are not needed or wanted. I am not a Wales fan, but I am still pulling for a good game and think they may be able to do it. If you dont, then leave no need to make big announcements to the rest of the forum.

Dodgy tackle on Williams. Sheesh

Yip. You sound like a yank.

 

[Surefire]

ouch cooper

50/50 split Americo/Franco

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Anyone else notice Wales making a really great pass out wide to the touch judge?

 

[Magricos]

Bloody injuries.

 

[Black Heart]

You know I actually feel a little bit sorry for Cooper now.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's a blow for Aus to lose both Beale and Cooper early on
Cooper looked to be on his best form of the WC as well

That's a lot of flair just gone missing from the Wallabies backs

Romain Poite(?) was clean in as well, he should have backed himself and gone for the corner

I dunno. Polota-Nau was hard on the chase

 

[TNT88]

Cooper was playing like a decent fly half for once, and then he gets injured....

Oh well, with Barnes and O'Connor on the field there isn't much to worry about. I would have loved to see O'connor come into #10, maybe in the 2nd half he'll get a go.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wales should consider taking Hook off at half time - he's not playing well at all, almost leaked a try with his decision to pass the ball back to Davies then



Considering all the talk pre-RWC in the media and on here about how Hook would be the saviour of Wales at 10, he hasn't taken his chances at all well

 

[Surefire]

Wales' Phillips is showing a lot of desire. Handeling errors for Wales though are holding them back.

 

[beerholder]

North out, Jones on the wing. This will be interesting
