Massive respect
I have to say that I am well impressed with the conduct of fans on this website. After Wales got knocked out by Fiji last time round we got some serious stick and you might have thought that it would be a good time to get some revenge. Fair play to Wales' fans for being able to take the win graciously.
More than that though the fans of the losing sides have been nothing but brilliant. We have all seen the banter and goading from all sides in the build up to these games but unlike the old 606 it has been in good spirit and much more in keeping with rugby traditions. It has felt like a proper supporters club rather than just a place to abuse each other.
So for those England and Ireland fans feeling disappointed tonight here's to you and Slàinte mhòr agad!

No bother,you must show respect in victory and defeat. Also it's "agat " not "agad".

Re: Massive respect
If we had beaten England perhaps....
But I like the Irish (if we had lost, id have wanted them to win) and I feel sorry for the Irish legends that wont see another world cup.
Ireland and Wales knew it was a 50/50 game and could have gone either way.
There's mutual respect between the Irish and Welsh...
....also, we dont want you to be too mean when its another Leinster vs Munster final in the Pro12

"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two
impostors just the same."
I feel these boards would have been chaos leading up to an Eng v Wales semi though!
