COME ON LADS!

3600!

Most nervous now...! Will have to wait and check result online, given time zone issue. Gutted, as this is one game I'd love to watch, even more be at it!

glitchy bump

Link on the beeb reads, "Semi 'biggest in Welsh history"
😀

lol 🙂

Latest IRB rankings appear to have the Taffs up to 4th.

Tonga above Scotland 😀

Great to see everyone getting behind Wales as the last british hope to bring the trophy back home. Really looking forward to the games this weekend.

Desperate to watch it but am having to shuttle my kids around various football matches. I need to ensure I can stay away from all info about the rugby until I get home & can watch the recording - its never the same not live.

I think all kids football fixtures should be delayed untiul the afternoon tomorrow - hurrumph

make of this what you will:

Allez Les Bleus.

yep, after being exasperated by the shower that was england's campaign, I'd love to see some stylish rugby from the Welsh win through, and I really think and hope they can go all the way, even against nuzulun! 😛

Been up at 5 every bloody weekend so far and then when they finally know I wont be able to sleep all night and would prefer the game to be at 5am they put it at bloody 9am.............

That's more like it.
Hasta mañana chicos. 😉

Down the club for this one, its gonna be nuts!!!!
Millenium Stadium is practically sold out just to watch it on the big screen!!!
If they get to the final Cardiff will be at a standstill.

47,500 capacity at Eden Park in Auckland...at least 60000 have tickets for Millenium Stadium tomorrow

I wasn't sure if the Millenium Stadium thing would be any good, but it sounds like people have really taken it up. My Aunt and cousin are going down on a 6am train from the Valleys to be there!

Bloody hell he's a plastic Anyone But English!

Not often I say this but:

COME ON WALES!!! 😀

****ity **** am I nervous! Sadly, not going to see it unless I somehow wake from my rum induced slumber at some ungodly hour. However, the first thing I do tomorrow, even before that perfect first fart of a morning, is check the scores.....

Come on! I'm in a much better timezone for the final, so don't let me down!

Hmmm bit conflicted here. Normally I'd be supporting the Wales without question, but due solely to this thread I'm tempted to side with the French. I should rise above the anti English sentiments really and just go with it. Or not?

I was relieved that England went out last weekend as I knew if we'd beaten the French we'd be going out to Wales and that would have hurt a lot more.
I really want Wales to do it. I want them to beat France and hopefully the Aussies beat the All Blacks tomorrow as I think Wales stand a good chance of beating the Wallabies. If New Zealand get to the final I think they will win no matter who they're up against.
Good luck Wales.

I was thinking the same thing, Wales would beat Oz,but would struggle against the AB's

Or you could just piss off back to the hole you have been sulking in.

[b]England 2011 rugby world cup campaign; the gift that just kept on giving.[/b]

Was in Akl yesterday and the place is jumping, absolutely fantastic atmosphere.
Drove past the welsh bar in town earlier and it was emptied out into the street - decided that I needed a beer so dropped in , stereophonics blasting out and a few I suspect may not seethe game unless they have a tactical chandler somewhere !!

Gotta get behind Wales , they will have every kiwi behind them as they hate the French slightly less than the Ozzies.

God I'm tense

Do you think we give a ****?

More excited than at Christmas here.

FTFY 😉

If you do want to step over the border and support us, here's a flag for you.

It'll let us know it's just temporary support. 😛

[Gotta get behind Wales , they will have every kiwi behind them as they hate the French slightly less than the Ozzies]

I couldnt agree less.From the average kiwi's point of view both teams and there followers have been a breath of fresh air to the comp and will be supported equally.The French and Welsh have a real passion for the game and we love that here.

OGGY! OGGY! OGGY!

I ****in' hate ITV. Where's the rugby programme?

Yossarian this morning:

Looks like half of Wales are trooping into the Millenium Stadium! 🙂

Sorry guys but i'm out for a ride now as the weather is perfect, will be watching it later though.

And i don't care if it pee's you off but i'll be cheering for the French!

From some of the replies up above it does seem as though ABE is fine but ABW is verboten for some reason?

May the best team win anyway.

Really it looks to me like we dont give a shit.

as long as its Wales.... could be a cracker of a game though....**** I'm nervous.
Enjoy your ride

And i don't care if it pee's you off but i'll be cheering for the French!

It'll be a great game i think, both teams are capable of proper, stunning rugby and both teams are capable of bonkers things like giving away intercepted passes so the 'hair removal factor' will be intense for both sets of fans!

Personally now i've calmed down i'm really glad that England have been humiliated this WC, that might be the impetus the RFU need to change - although i doubt it.
Wales have done that job and produced what might just be the most complete rugby team of this generation.....

Really it looks to me like we dont give a shit.

Given that yet again, you're resorting all too easily to offensive language, it looks like you care quite a lot actually...

DS - there's a comment up there about 'climbing back into your hole...'

Righto, off for a ride - see you all later 🙂

bump

bumpily bump bump bump

oh do grow up

oh do grow up

irony alert

If you care so little, why don't you just watch the match?

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

(Cytgan - Chorus)

Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

(Ail Bennill - Second stanza)

Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.

(Cytgan - Chorus)

(Trydydd Pennill - Third stanza)

Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.

(Cytgan - Chorus)

Good luck to Wales, looking forward to this one.

Morning all

i am an england supporter:(

but today i feel very welsh come on wales 🙂

That anthem always gets me.

come on Wales

And me MW so much passion

That anthem always gets me.

Me too. But thanks to ShiTV player, the internet just burped and now I just have a stupid Audi advert

Know what you mean Margin, gave me goosebumps too.

Morning. Looking forward toa cracking game. No strong feelings about who I want to win.

COME ON WALES!

Here's to a good running game rather than a kickfest... And may the best team win.

Best two anthems to get us started. A bit like start of e v f with a knock on stopping a great first 2 mins.

Come on Wales!!

ALLEZ LES....
ROUGES?

😀

Lovely kick, come on Wales!

huge blow loosing Jones, no specialist tight head now, scrums ****ed.

What front row injury? Heave!

Oh crap 😥 will miss Adam

Toby Faletau - now that's a good Welsh name. Almost as Welsh as a certain Samoan is English....

Ooooooo get you Zokes 😀

I know an English guy called Wasim Awan. Your point is caller?

Oof! 🙁

ignore him, he is being a bell. Welsh mixing it and Fench seem a bit rushed.

Warburton....get in.

Edit : 🙁 (thats ridic)

Ooh, spear tackle! AA get your high horse out! Shit, sent off. Thats bad. Right decision really no matter what the commentary are whinging about

WTF! RED???? NO ****ING WAY!!!

Nasty...

Joke of a red card...absolute joke!!

A call well above my pay grade... Tackle was bad, was the red deserved?

W T F

Spear tackle. Had that been an Englishman carrying out that tackle, everyone would be screaming for blood here, and A_A would have been the first in the queue.

Ridiculous. Referee a joke

Text book spear tackle... So if a spear tackle is a sending off offence...

We're doing it for Sam now.
