Wales v England Official Match Thread

by RubyGuby Wed 13 Mar 2013, 1:32 pm

First topic message reminder :

It's 5th v 4th in the World Rankings on Sat. and a real opportunity for 1 of these sides to put another marker down in their development - These games now have even greater significance given that we share the same RWC Pool in 2015 - The fact that Wales have won the last 2 meetings between these old foes will count for nothing - It should be Awesome . thumbsup

Good luck to both teams and both sets of fans thumbsup

Great try!

This is a fantastic game, very impressed with Wales but England have a steel about them these days, best game I've seen in yonks!

I would like to have seen that again. I thought the ball was played on the ground

we clearly are, are you actually what you would called a supporter?

by Josiah Maiestas Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:17 pm

We simply don't play fast enough. Our players are old and overcooked. I knew the tight match with Italy wouldn't give them the kick up the a*se!

Nope, well done Wales. Best teams won, just a matter of how much now.

They did. Eng make a mess of it again when it matters.

by Shifty Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:18 pm

Why arent England going for the try? Erm

I'm not complaining.

by trebellbobaggins Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:18 pm

The boy has missed 6 points now. Sigh,, all pathetic.

by **George Carlin** Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:18 pm

Cannot help but think how much more damage Foden could have done at 15 with all the ball Goode has been getting.

by JmD Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:19 pm

The unshakable Farrell looks shaken. This is a great match, it's about time there was a match of this quality, there has been a lull since week 1.

The best news is that pratt Heally is bunkrupt if he is a man of his word.

by nathan Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:19 pm

walsh is pathetic, he wont even listen to the captain speak

by trebellbobaggins Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:21 pm

Walsh.. Joke that the irb allow.. Says it all. They now decide who wins.

by glamorganalun Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:21 pm

So who going to be the lions front row, second row or back row.

by Shifty Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:21 pm

Cmon lads keep it going! Yahoo

by nathan Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:21 pm

lol, walsh is even running dummy lines for wales now!

by Josiah Maiestas Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:24 pm

We are playing like we're ahead, and defending a lead on the edge of our fingertips! How can we have such a terrible mentality?! Well done on the gifted title Sheepo's!

by trebellbobaggins Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:24 pm

Well sorry English rugby is still a Frak joke.

Goodbye Lancaster.

They're not old, they're just too light-weight. Without Corbs and Morgan we have zero go-forward. This back-row was a terrible pick by SL, I fear we're cursed with ANOTHER coach who picks favourites and shoe-horns them into the team. Two mobile 6s to beat the Welsh's tow mobile 7s at the breakdown - genius Stuart, utter genius. Oh well, the usual cycle of false dawns continues.

Wales fully deserve it. Magnificent, and a lesson to the rest of the northern hemisphere.

by majesticimperialman Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:24 pm

WELL PLAYED WALES. CERTAINLY THE BEST TEAM ON THE DAY.

Wow! Had a feeling Wales might win, but they are hammering England now.

Incredible performance from Wales, truly deserved

Ok.. Explain this then?

Hammered last time a GS was at stake and hammered again now. Nothing has changed.

give you a clue, you should support football....

Awful performance. As bad at least as the Ireland 2011 game. Utterly inept.

by ALPanorak Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:26 pm

England are finally being shown up as the pretenders they are. That NZ win was a smokescreen. The standard of the 6 nations this year has been generally quite poor yet many have ignored this, eulogising over England in the light of a possible 'Grand slam' - not any more. Wales are executing superbly right now.

by flyhalffactory Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:27 pm

Thats put the Warbs issue to bed now............. Warbs gotta be Lions 7 and I would even make him capt or even vice capt

No I just support rugby n Cornwall with fair refs and full hearted teams. We have had neither today.

by trebellbobaggins Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:28 pm

Hmm.. Be lucky if eng have one or two lions.

yes he needed to break contact before challanging for the ball, penalty could of gone either way though.

by tigertattie Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:29 pm

Tiperic must be motm. He's making the difference to this welsh team.

We've been found out basically. This team might have a great attitude, but after today I can now see exactly no obvious improvements since MJ. Less attacking potency, poorer set piece and finally, a return to the abject rucking of usual. Gutted we didn't get one of the NZ coaches mentioned at the time.

by nathan Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:30 pm

phillips offside there...

by Josiah Maiestas Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:31 pm

We can't do anything right. Sad

Losing to the sheepo's! Laugh

We've been lucky to come 2nd in this tournament, helped by the fact everyone else (minus Wales) seemed to be absolutely cack against us.

by nathan Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:32 pm

i just can not get how much wales are allowed to slow out ball down illgally

by Geordie Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:32 pm

Men v boys...well done Wales...it hurts but class performance

by Shifty Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:32 pm

Now the English know how the Welsh felt during the Irish game... angel

by RuggerBoy Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:32 pm

Lovely, boozed up, a smile from ear to ear, England getting stuffed and I really couldn't give a toss about what any of the English whingers on this forum or out on the streets think..... I love it.

(The best of it is, I actually thought England were competing but it must be that we really are that much better!)
