Post Match thoughts...? Wales 18-21 Australia...! Well done both teams. A well earned win for the Aussies..!

First topic message reminder :

A Welsh World Cup campaign that held so much promise a week ago ended in disappointment as Australia won the third-place play-off.

A try and drop-goal from Berrick Barnes and eight points from the boot of James O'Connor left Wales with fourth place despite a try from Shane Williams in possibly his last Test appearance.

In an error-ridden contest short on quality and atmosphere, Wales failed to replicate their devastating attacking form of earlier in the tournament.

A succession of handling errors gifted the Wallabies the initiative, and Leigh Halfpenny's try in the 83rd minute came too late to deny Robbie Deans' men.

While the result gives Australia revenge for Wales' victory in the corresponding game in the inaugural World Cup 24 years ago, a serious knee injury to fly-half Quade Cooper left their celebrations muted.

You must have watched a different first half to me!

This silly bikkering is getting a bit tedious. Can some of you just not enjoy what is a very good game of rugby?

If Wales don't win this it means they haven’t beaten anyone above them in the irb rankings!

So is this RWC still a success or a failure?


Before anyone has ago these are the words of Brian Moore!

Was it cruicate? Looked like knee, nasty.

With no Beale or Cooper Wales have a superb chance just need to cut out sill knock ons.

Thats why i said 'quietly'. They have had some moments so i feel that its just a matter of time before something happens for them

Gatts and wwc cut it out..!


You aren't funny

If it the Anterior Cruciate, thenminimum 6 month is a certainty. All deopends on what their docs see when they go in.

Really hope that Wales can win this and get that monkey ff their back in relation to the SH teams.

What's happened to the Wales scrum.......did they not bring a back up specialist TH?

Great now Wayne Barnes is imagining things

I appreciate you have a job to do here but you really shouldn't be referring to Hersh as a monkey. Not in your position.

Pete, so wish you'd used the word 'only' in there - so René!!

ref got suckered by aus

This childish bikkering is really turning people off this site. Cut it out and just enjoy a great match of rugby

HERSH wrote:100 caps for Sharp didn't realise he had that many

Yup, and could well be his last outing in the green and gold

As, I did type only first and then read it back and decided to delete it precisely for that reason.

Missed kicks: the story of our worldcup. I'm not one for ifs and buts, but...! Well, we'd be playing Sunday and not today for a start!

Hook misses a sitter

How was that not a knock on by the Aussies??

Ryan Jones having a stormer

Try, forward pass but a try all the same

Forward pass surely?

TRy Wales.Shane Williams

Miles forward from Hook.

Barnes has had a shocker there!!!

Forward Wales!!!

and another from Wales and a try to Shane.

How can that be a try? tThae was a huge forward pass.

The other prob at scarlets is who to put at fb as priestland playd a lot there

that was a shocker from barnes to be fair

From the spidercam it's a whole hemishpere forwad

Hook off

Sorry but there is no way that should have been given. Well done to Wales but that was poor officiating

Doubt you'll see Hook start at 10 again

Dude, only half a hemisphere forward. But glad it was Williams who picked it up.

Jones on for Hook (having a mare), Ickle kicks thru to score, Wales lead 8-7 (for those not watching)
