RWC Quarter Final: Ireland - Wales (08-10-2011, 18:00)

[Saintjay]

About time, Ireland could have been up on pens by now.

O'briens looking a marked man

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Even with a only a quarter gone, this was worth getting up for even as a neutral.

Or staying up late, depending on which part of the world you're in.

(This one isn't too late but the next one kicks off at 12:30 a.m. my time).

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Whoa.... that was a MASSIVE kick.

 

[j-dawg]

This is looking a great game. Why can't they both be winners

They could have been if Wales hadn't lost to South Africa. Well, quarterfinal winners at least.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Even Philips is getting the passes away quickly - Good to see

 

[j-dawg]

Im torn who to support. I have an Irish side to the family so In a straight up match I'd support Ireland. However, assuming England win, whoever is victorious here meets England, and England have found it awfully tricky to put away Ireland in recent years...

 

[callsign.springbok]

pity this isn't the Semi.. sad the other semi-finalist will come from the England-France 'who wants to lose it the most' encounter. Great rugby so far by Wales and Ireland

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Cheeky stamp on Dan Lydiate by Sean O'Brien in that ruck

 

[Magricos]

Wales ftw.

 

[Saintjay]

ROG has not got over being smashed by Warbuton yet.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Sexton on at halftime


Then again, Kidney's not known for his smarts, so he'll probably come on at 78mins

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I see BOD is playing openside for Ireland today :lol:
Been great at the breakdown so far

Gotta agree with the posters, why the hell start O' Gara if you are gonna play a game that suits Sexton?

And to think that some have touted Kidney as the Lions coach. :huh:

Serves you right for consorting with Yanks, Trish . I mean, half twelve on a Fri/Sat is about time to get the party after the pub going.

 

[igy]

I was thinking the same thing, why start with O'Gara if the team don't want to kick the damn ball?



this type of stuff **** me off man...

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Considering the amount of possession Ireland have had, it's a shame they don't have more on the scoreboard. They don't look capable of breaking the Welsh defence at the try line but they DO look capable of pinning the Welsh in their half and aiming to keep the score board ticking over through kicks to put the Welsh under pressure.

Hang on a min my Scots supporting friend, I got told you only just beat there C team, Lions all the way for me

Ireland are playing better Wales are playing smarter. Ireland should have taken the 3 points a few times in that first half and have been tackled in to touch when they should not have been.
