Swords, i claimed Ireland had the edge because IMO we have a physically stronger and more experienced 45678. I outlined my reasons clearly as anyone making a point should. If rugby fans from other countries want to have a readonable discussion with me outlining why they think their team will win, then i am all ears. He obviously had an inferiority complex and needs a hug. I also said that if wales match us at 45678 then they could put us to the sword with their pacey backs. Whats wrong with this. I was complimentry to wales for a reason; they have a bloody good team. I love listening to other peoples opinions and will listen to any decent or valid point/opinion, but i am quite entitled to defend myself against absolute rubbish.
There's nowte wrong with that a'tall NUTS. I think it was when you said it looks like its going to be a NZ/Irl final that miffed him. He probably felt you had dismissed the Welsh threat out of hand the way Australians do to their opponents. I know you meant no offence and he should certainly take a chill pill. As for your arguments on the Wal/Irl game, you've shown a good knowledge of both sides and I can't disagree with anything you've said.
Wales will be to strong for Ireland, Ireland had their swansong against an out of sorts Aussie team. if they played aus 5 times aus would win the other 4 comfortable. Wales are bigger better and fitter than most of the Irish team and should win that game to reach the semi's....
Who are you calling Taff! Welsh yes, but born on the river Taff no! West Glamorgan boy through and through thank you very much. Taff is slang for someone from Cardiff. Here endeth the lesson!
Ireland and Wales is a 50/50 game, i'm going for Wales because i'm welsh and i dont give a toss how biased that sounds England vs France another close one,france if they turn up can beat anyone but i fancy England if they get into them early and boss them New Zealand vs Argentina All blacks all the way Pumas have had a descent campaign but have nothing to cause an upset South Africa vs Australia for me, South Africa, just.Apart from wanting to win the world cup, this will give the Bok's a chance to atone themselves against The Wallabies after a poor tri-nations
You should be happy. Its probably the least derogatory National nick-name there is. Can you think of anything else Leek-Face?
Thats the great thing about sport, we all have and are entitled to our own opinion. Think the match will be a cracker mate. Both sets of players know each other very very well and there is huge respect between the players. I think you will see and hear that respect after the game. If you beat us on saturday there will be plenty of Irish fans shouting for you in the semis. Not because you wll be playing England or France but because Wales play such an attractive pacey game. This is a very young and exciting Welsh team, best of luck on Saturday and lets all enjoy.
LOL mate, but never rule out the English and Cols bollocks could be the one having the last laugh yet
mccaw reckons he should have had an op on his foot 6 months ago but has put it off for the world cup.. the kiwis have had a few days and are getting used to not having carter. they are gonna miss him though
i assume that with all that lazy money you have that you will be putting a packet on sa losing.. doe's your wife know how much money you burn down the bookies
Musty 40 years! You must have done something terribly wrong. What about parole? Mine is up in 2 years
yeh the bookies got the lazy edmund against ireland but with some canny spread betting on the next two games, a few edmunds are raring to go, and no whats mine is mine and whats hers is hers bar the bills etc
bris, i know i committed a henious crime and like papillon was sentenced to a desert island for life, however get yearly parole for overseas trips and hope to be able to finally get back to the UK in 2013, would have preferred 2012 but had already booked Fiji before Star Track merged with AAE and the result has given me basically a 30% payrise. good thing is 2013 will let me fly business class and get a wee bed for the flight.
Kiwi, i'm sure the non rugger heads here will be pi**ed off reading this thread. Really getting excited now. This Irish team has a chance to make history (for us). Our match with Wales is really too tight to call. Two teams on form with very good players. Can't wait. Hope whatever team wins, wins it on merit and not through a bad decision by the ref. England and France also will be very very tight. France have the flair, England the guile and experience. SA and the Aussies should also be a cracker. Two different styles on offer. NZ should/will win but it may be tighter than some are predicting.
anything i can do to take thier minds off of tarbs leaving..fulham thrashing..and the abysmal fact that swansea and norwich are above us.. i hope ireland win.. with my luck at predictoins the final is likely to be argentina v france
