by maestegmafia Wed 12 Oct 2011, 8:59 am

First topic message reminder :

Well played France a deserved winner... great effort by Wales but silly mistakes cost us a better result...

Good luck to Australia and New Zealand tomorrow

rance will kick as they have a great marksman in Yachvilli, I think he is top in the accuracy percentages or at least one of the most accurate out there.

Sorry - Parra is taking the kicks as Y is part-injured. Is Parra any good kicking?

by Guest Fri 14 Oct 2011, 7:15 pm

Parra is just as good, arguably sometimes better, then yachvili at kicking.

But if you guys think they do, then I would say that in 2005 and 2008 when Wales had comparable form to now, we beat France narrowly in Paris, and in 2008 quite easily at home.
Wales are now a TEAM, France a rabble.

The last to times we beat france in the last ten matches we went on to win the tournament...

Not a bad omen...?

This game is ours to lose, do it right , stick to the plan and we will win.

I think I'll have to stay awake for 13hours, I'll never sleep now having watched latest tv reports and rob jones on Sports Wales Wales

over the top, who cares!!!

by maestegmafia Fri 14 Oct 2011, 8:38 pm

The build up and the atmosphere is fantastic here.

I was in the market early on and everyone was wishing each other luck for the match, it was like we were all playing.

I guess in the way the players know we are all behind them we kind of are...

Hardly slept all night.. I am as excited as I was as a school boy listening to the Lions tour on the radio. I almost want to listen to the match on Radio now in the parlour just to bring back the memories...

by PJHolybloke Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

15 minutes in and ITV have mentioned England 3 times, fortunately they were all in the context of losing to France.

But now they're broadcasting in French!!!

OUTRAGE! warning

by Cymroglan Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

Morning PJ

by eirebilly Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

Not sure that the Welsh will be too worried about the rain to be honest

by TheGreyGhost Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:51 am

Dudes. 10 minutes to kick off and the match thread is 5 pages long? Few nerves then? Smile

by Smirnoffpriest Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:53 am

Bore da pawb - morning everyone. Im switchin between watchin the game in welsh on s4c and english on itv,so my posts may contain a mix of welsh and english

by eirebilly Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:53 am

No that would be excitedness TGG

by **rodders** Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:54 am

Wow its p*ssing down in NZ!

Will that favour the French? I think it might and I think they'll really take Wales on in the pack and kick a lot.

Great piece on Shane Williams there. What a fantastic player he has been for Wales.

by Guest Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:54 am

"Toby Faletau is still yet to miss a tackle at this World Cup, he has made 65 tackles so far (the second most of any player). Wall."

Quote off the BBC website. Fair play to him. Hope that continues.

I didn't think I'd be too nervous about this, now Wales have totally exceeded my expectations. But I am a flipping wreck.

by TheGreyGhost Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:55 am

It'll be heavy showers. doubt it will rain for the whole match. And the foundations are all volcanic so the surface won't get as soggy as you might expect. Conditions are always better than they appear for ball handling other than when it's actually actively raining.

by maestegmafia Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:56 am

Unfortunately had to miss the trip to Cardiff this morning as my wife is ill. So we are going to cooch up under a duvet in front of the TV and watch together, she's Irish and a passionate Welsh fan...!

C'Mon Wales...

You have already done us proud, now is your chance to prove to the World who you are... Lets hope the great ride can continue just a little further.

Its a Small step for an International Rugby team, but one Giant step for Welsh-kind

by **rodders** Sat 15 Oct 2011, 8:56 am

Ok thanks GG. Good luck to the Wales

!

I thought it was built on a marsh...?

I was worried it would hold the water on the surface, good inside knowledge... cheers GG...

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 15 Oct 2011, 9:00 am

The very best of luck to all of Wales, let's hope this is a cracker. Genuinely hope to be watching you again next Sunday morning.

by TheGreyGhost Sat 15 Oct 2011, 9:00 am

Good luck Wales. Stick one up those filthy cheating underhanded, untrustworthy and frankly smelly French for us.

by Guest Sat 15 Oct 2011, 9:01 am

Danny Lydiate showing some emotion there.

Here we go then.

by **rodders** Sat 15 Oct 2011, 9:01 am

Wonderful anthems there. The French look up for this. It should be a cracker!

Should've been Mikey's tackle that.
