As if they couldn't make Ireland's call even more embarassing.

Why what happened? $:-\$

Got two lads who sounded like opera singers singing it and just made it sound even more dramatic and over the top, its just such a shite cringey song, wish they'd fuck it off.

Cud'a got the fat lass off X factor, or is she on the tills today?

Wallace down, looks serious.

CorKopite · « **Reply #164 on:** August 27, 2011, 03:00:45 pm »

Looks like Wallace's world cup is over before it even began.

Be very sad if Wallace is unable to go to the World cup, I think the tackle was a bit marginal too.

Yeah looked a small bit high but cant really blame Tuilagi, no harm intended. Gutted for Wallace though, really like him as a player and will be a huge loss for us.

I've always liked him too, someone who always gives 100 per cent.

Could be the end of Wallace since hes 35.

Heaslip now, Ireland's back row taking a battering

Anywhichwayicant · « **Reply #170 on:** August 27, 2011, 03:20:44 pm »

A fuck, Wallace gone? Any hope we had of doin' any way well at the World Cup gone down shit creek minus a paddle and lifejacket.

Jamie Heaslip has limped off too.

I reckon Healy was gouged there. Half time, Ireland 9:13 England.

Who have Ireland got in their group? England's is piss easy. Wales' is potentially very tricky. Can't remember Ireland's. Australia and not much else, is it? They should still have a bit of leeway to get themselves going in the group stages. Wales don't have that luxury.

Do think Ireland aren't as strong as the Irish always like to tell us though. Ageing squad.

Nonsense. South Africa, Fiji, Samoa and Namibia. If yer not beatin' the rest, apart from South Africa you don't have much business at a World Cup.

The All Blacks are perfect proof, form goin' into the World Cup and doin' the business at the World Cup are entirely different.

Ireland were a lot like the ABs this morning - they didn't really play as well as they could and the injuries to 2 key back rowers was very costly. Ireland can and will play a lot better than that at the World Cup.

Exactly. Both Fiji and Samoa are capable of beating any team in the world in a one off game and Wales cannot afford to be at all complacent. However, I don't think Wales have the game plan to beat the best teams in the world, certainly not under Gatland anyway. I was speaking to a former Welsh international the other day and he was saying that Wales didn't have much of a game plan and his training sessions were almost a waste of time...

We were missing our two best players, three if you count Kearney (who won 2mil in the euro millions) and Heaslip and Wallace went off injured first half.

The way we are playing right now I would be shitting myself at the thought of playing them, especially Samoa.

Thought it was bollox myself until BOD tweeted it. He must have been taking the piss.

Ray K · « **Reply #192 on:** August 27, 2011, 08:43:20 pm »

That was pretty wretched again from Ireland. Not one of our players is in any form, and our back line can't make a clean break if their lives depended on it. And our only no. 7 has done his knee ligaments and misses the finals.

Now confident that this will go the same way as all of our other World Cups - being soundly beaten by the top seeds in the group followed by a nothing performance against the next decent team we face. Thought that the 'beaten by the next decent team' would be South Africa.
I now think it'll be Italy.

Sadly it is now confirmed on the BBC rugby site that David Wallace will miss the World Cup. A big loss for the Irish.

Who will you take instead then?

It looks like Heaslip had concussion, but he should be okay for the WC.

I agree that Wales have the toughest group but I wouldn't see England's is piss easy. Whereas most groups have two obvious qualifiers ours is two from three and no margin for error given the runners up will more than likely play NZ in the quarters.

As for today's game, it looked liked two teams scratching around for form and hard to see either making the semis unless something changes.

I have no problem with Jennings starting. Problem is, is that he is our only good 7 now. Heaslip being injured is a worry but our biggest problem all along has been our front row.
