ITV commentary sucks balls. Big fat hairy ones.
Hope Charteris is ok. Don't want to see injuries for either side. Feeling strangely philosophical now. No way we're going to win with 3 points from all that possession and territory.
Glitchybump.
Been watching F1 qualifying.
Anyone care to give me a quick summary of the 1st half? Supporting Ireland - am I going to be upset when the adverts finish? Reading back a few posts I fear it's not going well. 😥
to do what?
to get past that Welsh defence
Edge of the seat stuff, would like to have another turn with the ball now.
Higgo, brutal stuff. Welsh defense is the key so far.

Second that. These teams clearly represent the best chance for the NH. Chin up DD, you've had lots of the ball at least 😉
brakes, how are they going to do it?
No, UK, Don.
Surely defence and not defense? 😉
Ah, I get it! Auto correct on my tablet!
Its a shame both teams cant be eliminated after this game as the skill level and decision making of both teams are seriously below the levels expected at this stage of the cup.Still if u like kick and clap football i guess it of a standard to be expected.
To tense got to go walk for the next 40 mins
Morning all... c'mon Wales!
Game on? 😀
No try.
Oooh.
Ooooh. Try! Jeebus. Fair dues to Earls to get that from a more or less standing start.
FFS Darcy 😉
Game on.
Coasting is in a parallel universe which is 2 hours ahead and is obviously watching the next game.
Good start by Irish, keeps the game open.
brakes, how are they going to do it?
BOD could mix it up with a little dinking kick through the wall, confuse things then get the ball to the winger?
Wales need to get straight back at them now.
Bollix!!
If it was an Irish try, this has to be too. 😉
I think Coasting's actually basing his in depth analysis on a 30 second section of this game... 🙄
What a finish!
Oh, yes, just as I thought I'd cursed them!
Awesome try! Cheeky scrumhalf. Coasting, change your name to 'Trolling'.
Game over you'd have to say.
Not at all, Darcy, not at all.
Welsh forwards are working noticeably harder than the Irish forwards so far.
Wow. Great for a neutral. Two v well taken tries 2nd half. MPs was an awesome finish and great W defence.
That's not going to work dd! Keep the faith.

Adam! 🙂
one more point for the posts
WTF, posts AGAIN!
No mention of the ref yet, which is a good thing. Doing a good job so far.
Great action but U11 commentary. Time for the BBC thread!!!!
WTF, posts AGAIN!
It's the ball, don't you know?
great,just as the try went upstairs, I hear the siren song of "I've done a poo!" Wales pack putting in a HUGE shift
Fail.
Bugger. Overslept. Looks like I have missed a cracking 60mins.
More fail.
Game over you'd have to say.
One score down with a quarter of the game to go - there's nothing like the pessimism of a true fan.
😆
Woo!
Ooops.
Sorry.
NOW it's is game over,probably.
Ireland seem to have forgotten they are allowed to tackle.
🙂
Darn, look at the wind moving that flag!
What happened to Irish defence?
And breathe.
And breathe.
+1, What a great advert for rugby.
mleh
This could do it.
😯
Loves that post.
Posts!
Come on Wales!
Defending like machines!
Oh well. Fair play to Wales. No complaints or excuses here. Better side wins on the day - thankfully no controversial tries or reffing decisions to muddy the waters. All the best to Wales for next weekend. They should go all the way to the final on this performance.
The green machine can go home with their heads held high.
Well done Wales
Contenders to win it?? Awesome display.
great game bodes well for NH rugby 🙂
Brendon Gleeson, Daniel Day Lewis, Bono, Eddie Jordan, Barry Mcguigan, Westlife, Bwitched, Sinead O Connor, Bob Geldof your boys took a hell of a beating 🙂
well done the red dragons, great all round performance
😆 @ pigface
Fantastic! Now trundle on England, trundle on!
I've got a semi...
Oh, sorry, I meant we're in the semis! 🙂
Simply AWESOME... Excellent game and a bigger score than I expected. Great composure from Wales.
Darcy, have a grand holiday, btw!
My first prediction for the weekend came through 🙂
Well done Wales.
I love you DD top game and I extend my hand.
great game!
Wales were just impenetrable, and the Phillips try was SO well timed.
Could Ireland have been a bit more innovative with their tactics?
Great game for the neutral. Just wanted to see another Irish try to make the last 10 interesting, but the Wales defence was phenomenal. Pretty tempted to skip the England game and just watch that again 🙂
Honourable in defeat, happy hols dd.
I was thinking the same Richpenny. 😕
Well played both teams, score line a little misleading I feel, and thanks to DD for being a good sport being a good loser is always impressive 🙂
I really hope eng fra is as exciting...

TBH, I can't see what they could have changed. It was game-over for me when they went in 10-3 down at half time. With all that ball and possession in the first half, they should have gone in ahead. Wales were simply too strong in defence and took three great chances when presented - that's where the difference lay today.
Proper game of rugby. Pity one of us had to go out.
Sorry, I have to go quiet for the rest of the day lads. I'm off on holiday for the week thankfully, to somewhere I can forget about rugby for a while. I'll be cheering Wales on next week though - they're mrs deadly's team. I'm a bit gutted (for some of the green machine that won't see another RWC) but like I said, no complaints whatsoever - Wales were awesome today. And given the ferocious defences, there was no ill discipline, nothing for anyone to whinge about for the next few days. Just a great advert for our two nations' rugby.
