costly ones too :|

game of two halves.
france led 20- 0 at half time without really doing that much :? , followed by a great second half performance by wales.

a great game all round for the neutrals :thumb:

Big improvement in defence......... but yet again gifted the opposition a try or 2. Looked dead and burried at half time and 20-0 down, but fair play to the lads for not rolling over.

Simply cannot expect to win international matches with a disfunctional linout at best and only turning up for 25 minutes. Get it bloody sorted Wales!

Not taking anything away from the garlic munchers ( :cuss: ), but yet another frustrating/annoying/depressing (at times) performance from Wales :banghead: . Being a stout Welsh supporter is not helping my position in the prediction league :cry:

Anyway, just a minor setback on the road to taking the 2011 Grand Slam and World Cup :cheers: :dance: :cheers:

Tell me about it..... "apparently" made it home before midnight, burbled something to my wife in what appeared to be fluent swahili before stumbling off to sleep in the dog's basket...... :roll:

Nice one, fancied the bhoys in green to do them, hard defence game though. Martin Johnstone was nearly crying, great. Hopefully another Triple crown Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Now for 2 home games and :D the roar of croke park!

Exactly - very frustrating!

If we can actually play for 80 mins and stop making bloody stupid errors, we can definitely repeat our win at croke park 2 years ago.

didn't see all of the england v ireland game today so can't really comment to much :(

i do agree though, that if the welsh cut out their silly errors, the irish will choke at croke :mrgreen:

Have to say, the "Home Nations" and Ireland have actually been fairly sh*te overall :cry: . France have looked a professional outfit with the exception of 20 or so minutes against Wales (when the latter actually turned up :banghead: ), and Italy have made big strides forward - great win against the Scots after a tight game against Beelzebub’s own ( :twisted: ) last week.

Wales vs. Ireland...... IF and it's a BIG IF considering the season thus far, Wales can turn up for the full 80, we stand a good chance. HOWEVER, the Irish defense as shown against England (120 + tackles made, 1 missed) is bloody good and to be perfectly honest with the exception of Shane Williams and on occasion Hook, Wales do not look like breaking the line as they did seemingly effortlessly in 2005 and 2008.... WTF has happened? :shock:

As to the rest of the season..... France - Grand Slam, Wales 2nd..... Who cares about the rest? :D
