Ireland vs Wales.... who are the winners?

First topic message reminder :

This will be a tight one. Real tight. 2 of the best teams in the WORLD right now, on form.

Both teams seem evenly matched and on paper there is little between them. But we often hear that rugby is often a physiological battle.

With that in mind, lets look at the 2 teams.

Of Ireland starting XV, 11 have won Heineken Cups, while scrum-half Conor Murray has won the Magners League on a semi-final and final, knockout basis. Wales cannot draw on any comparable experience.

Will the lack of any real knock out experience and the distinct lack of silverware bedevil the Welsh?

You have to say, winning is a habit and this is cup rugby.

Do Ireland have the physiological edge?

Well, time will tell.... enjoy

Thats only if the ref plays fair

I doubt if it will be like that after the match

After the match The Irish and Welsh will be drinking like fish together in a pub ….. With the losers wishing the other all the best and warning them ... Just don’t go and lose to the F***ing English!!

Not on St Mary's street they won't!

Good morning gatts, good luck with your team today, and to the other welsh and Irish lads and lassies,

"May you have the hindsight to know where you've been, the foresight to know where you're going and the insight to know when you're going too far."
