^Only cure there is.
Can't wait for tomorrows games. Going to watch them at home. Bit surprised that Hook isn't starting, Halfpenny at fullback could go one way or another. Just reading the paper today and read that Toby Faletau is only 20! Mad. Experience has been mentioned and I hope it proves a factor as Ireland have it in spades. O'Gara seems to thrive on playing these type of games. Whatever the result both sides can hold their heads up high for their performances so far, and also for reminding the Southern Hemisphere that we can put it up to them.
As for England and France, hard to call it. The feeling is that there is disharmony in the French camp (where have I heard that before) so that should work in Englands favour. If France turn up however then I'd fancy their back 3 to cause trouble. England will probably look to kick in behind the French but any poor kicks and I feel the French will punish them - Medard at fullback is a very dangerous player when given space.
Awards:
Well i'm up... here we go. May the best side win. Wales by 3. Wouldn't bet against my old mate coming off the bench to win it.
Yeah Faletau is a youngster and he was born and bred in Wales too... so happy days.
It's home in bed for me
Awards:
Well that's that then good luck Wales
Congtratulations to Wales. Best side won without a doubt. Warburton has proved once again what a class act he is. I mentioned above how experience might be a factor but infact it was the freshness and youthful exuberance that swung the game to Wales. They seemed fitter and faster than the Irish. Wales - France will be a cracking semi.
Hard luck to England. Fought hard but when the French are in the form they were in for the first 40 there is no stopping them. Hope Wales do them in the semi though.
Awards:
Unlucky Ireland, our defence and fitness paid off and the Whitland boys finished you off. Wish i'd been down the Rugby Club to watch, it must have been bouncing! So proud of all 3 of them even though Scotty didn't get on.
On to the French, we're not only playing for Wales but we're playing for everyone... no one likes the French and i'm sure New Zealand will be hoping we beat them, they won't want them in the final.

WTF happened England... you'd done so well and then you gave up
Slade and Muliaina injured for NZ. Kruden probably going to start at 10, haven't seen much of him but I'd imagine Graham Henry is wishing he could call on Nick Evans. Hope they beat the Aussies. Don't like how cocky they have been and Quade Cooper is a little c**t. Wales and France will be a great game also. Hard one to call again - France are too unpredictable.
Awards:
Cruden looked much better and confident than Slade did on Sunday.
Where has Giteau gone?
Giteau was left out of the Aussies 30 man squad for some reason. He's certainly better than the inside centre that's starting at the moment.
Awards:
I have no idea who he is. He got replaced on the weekend and I said "WHO?", i'd not heard his name mentioned during the game at all.
Awards:
WALES: Leigh Halfpenny; George North, Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, Shane Williams, James Hook, Mike Phillips; Gethin Jenkins, Huw Bennett, Adam Jones, Luke Charteris, Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton (C), Toby Faletau
REPLACEMENTS: Lloyd Burns, Paul James, Bradley Davies, Ryan Jones, Lloyd Williams, Stephen Jones, Scott Williams.
Priestland is a big miss in my opinion. He's the most natural 10 we've had for a while. Hopefully Hook can take us through.
Is Priestland injured or just dropped ?
Awards:
Injured. Shoulder injury. He's been one of our best players. If we get there, he'll play in the final.
James Hook and Stephen Jones aren't bad fallback options! Btw, Sonny Bill did well on the wing at the weekend. Saw the highlights earlier. Is there anything that guy can't do.
Awards:
Not bad, not bad at all. We'll see tomorrow. I think Parra at 10 for France is a weakness and he's gonna have a whole load of Jamie Roberts flying at him tomorrow. I was surprised England didn't exploit that more. Apart from the first half where England were sleeping, France weren't that good to be honest, I think too much was made of France being back in form, I thought England were just poor to be honest, they started off well but they just went to sleep, I couldn't believe it. If Wales play like they have been tomorrow, they'll win, i'm confident of that.
Well Sonny Bill can't get in the side for a start, that's one thing he can't do.. I love him, slight man crush I think. haha. Seriously though, if you can't fit him in your side, things are good for you.
Can't believe they dropped him. He's been outstanding. Jane and Kahui are very good but I'd have Sonny Bill ahead of them any day.
Wales absolutely robbed. Hope the French get smashed in the final. Don't deserve to be there at all.
Awards:
Still absolutely gutted and disgusted. Would have been OK if we'd lost fairly but I don't think we did. However, if we kicked our kicks we'd be in the final probably. Very proud of them though, to lose by only one point hurts but when you do it having played with 14 men for 60+ minutes without our best player and captain having also lost one of our more experienced forwards in Adam Jones to injury after 20 minutes too, you have to be proud, such a fantastic effort. There's a player being scapegoated a bit from the fans along with blaming the ref but I think that's all a bit of "in the heat of the moment" but I've always said that James Hook is not a #10 and he didn't have a good game yesterday. He didn't play #10 for Ospreys for a reason. He's not as bad as he was yesterday though. I think part of the reason was that there wasn't quick ball as the man who allows quick ball for the half backs got sent off.
Lots of disappointment but hoping New Zealand absolutely smash France next week now.
Glad the French didn't win, although they probably played better on the day.
Btw Thierry Dusautoir named player of the year..... WTF ?
Awards:
I wouldn't say it was a bad choice. He's been very good all year and had a very good World Cup. Very good captain. I would have gone with Jerome Kaino.
