Aus Vs Wales; are you nervous or excited?

by Morgannwg Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:52 pm

First topic message reminder :

Big congratulations to Scotland for an ugly win in ugly weather. I would take that over a loss anyday though. When these guys last played each other before today Scotland also won; which made a possessed Australia go in to their following fixture and thrash my Wales in Cardiff: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/welsh/8381131.stm

Hopefully there is not a repeat this saturday and I can't see a 33-12 scoreline to Aus against this Wales team Hug

. But the challenge just got a bit tougher for us. I guess Deans will now be lambasted in the Oz press, what will he do? What changes does he makes to the tactics and starting lineup?

I think there is realistic chance for Wales to win the series. If Australia win with all the factors going against them I would be very impressed with Deans and the team.

You lose the argument because your point is not good one or logic and now you get aggressive to other posters. Is a bit childish and maybe you must take a small break and do some breathing Hug

by Morgannwg Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:30 pm

Acceptful? There's a new one. This is getting beyond all reasoning now.

AWOP, please refrain from calling posters idiots.

Disagree by all means, but your argument loses its credibility when you belittle posters.

by mystiroakey Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:32 pm

Why do you think i have invented a new ranking- do yourself a favour and re read what was posted- its clear you do understand english..

by **Biltong** Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:32 pm

Guys, we had a good day lets keep it that way please.

by anotherworldofpain Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:32 pm

Take a moment! I recommend.

There is mistake Biltongbek I don't call anyone like that. He is call me like an idiot and I quote back. I am just suggest he calm down because getting so upset! Don't attack me with the red pen! Is no need!

by mystiroakey Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:35 pm

I was 90% sure.

I am know 100% sure.

way to go awop-- your just alienateing everyone Aus Vs Wales; are you nervous or excited? - Page 2 732107

by **Biltong** Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:36 pm

Mate, if you respond in the same manner, you are as guilty, I edited your post and removed the comment.

by anotherworldofpain Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:38 pm

You attack my English but yet ...

I am know 100% sure

You try to invent the new ranking and ignore the other poster point that maybe the best team is rank #1 and win the RWC and that some how your own idea about who is best in Europe different to ranking and when is important the win.

Now some people both argue against your point and you get instead of logic more upset and posting personal insult to me. And now again resort to personal attack.

Why not just talk about the very fine win today and keep civil and about rugby?

by Morgannwg Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:40 pm

Anyway back on topic, should Wales win the series and get to 2nd in the IRB rankings does that makes us better than South Africa??

I havent attacked your english- i never would, i cant spell myself

i havent tried to create a new ranking- i agreed that the ranking is the pinnacle measure and that should have been his original yardstick- read the thread awop!! just do yourself a favour and read it!

by anotherworldofpain Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:41 pm

Unless South Africa get to #1 in the IRB ranking Morgannwg!

It's ok Mystri I put you on ignore now for a day so we don't making annoy each other and make a trouble on the forum.

by majesticimperialman Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:42 pm

With Scotland winning today, Wales will be under alot of pressure to secure a win on saturday. Wales being Grand Slam winners should have no problem beeting Australia.

I mean if Scotland can do it, then surely it will be a walk in the park for Wales.
Being Grand Slam winners. Right. thumbsup

Take some of your own advice? yeah, lets both forget and chill Aus Vs Wales; are you nervous or excited? - Page 2 732107

by Cymroglan Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:45 pm

awop why don't you just show the real you ? I'm sure you will be a great poster if only you would stop being something you are not.
I don't care if you are English Welsh but stop this Johnny foreigner nonsense.

by Knowsit17 Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:45 pm

Excitement taking over after reading Warbs' article about facing Pocock. I know it makes no difference really but I always love it when a particular individual battle is under the scope. I hope both manage to make it through the game unscathed and that we're treated to an enthralling duel between two of the world's top opensides Aus Vs Wales; are you nervous or excited? - Page 2 3933776953

And if not then Tipuric and Hooper are both on standby. Wish the game was in five mins tbh.

To be honest Morg, I thought that was rather humorous.

Madge welsh obsession continues I see,
Are you not interested in the england game madge?
You said your an england fan but looking through your comment history you don't seem to bothered about them just more concerned about wales .

by mystiroakey Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:52 pm

So anyway predictions anyone- lets move this along Aus Vs Wales; are you nervous or excited? - Page 2 732107

2-1 to wales for me.

Its gonna be some of the hardest fought rugby(bar eng v sa offcourse) which i predict 2-1 to SA and eng winning the first.

by Breadvan Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:09 pm

Neither. Probably only catch a few mins rugby this wkend. Up in Manchester for the weekend to see Coldplay. Enjoy the matches guys.... cider

by Knowsit17 Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:16 pm

I predict a 3-0 series romping in Wales' favour. They'll rack up a cricket score in the first test (215-3, new record!) and win the second comfortably by about 60 or so. The Aussies will bounce back and make amends by scoring their first and last try of the series in Sydney by intercepting a poor Hook pass which will also have to be run by the TMO but Wales will still have too much and score a last gasp drop goal to clinch the cleansweep. The next day the ARU will retire the Australian national team and Aussies everywhere will veil their faces on the anniversaries of the tests in remembrance of the Massacre Down Under Cool

by Breadvan Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:28 pm

intercepting a poor Hook pass

Nowt changes then.... Very Happy

by Shifty Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:32 pm

I don't really hold out much hope of Wales winning. Australia will be jolted as a result of this loss and will be far more focussed now against Wales.

Gatland also isn't on tour will will be a massive loss to us. I will be looking at the Australian selection with a lot of interest but I expect all the big hitters to come back in.

by mystiroakey Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:34 pm

i dont understand the whole gatland not being there- it doesnt seem right to me

Well he fell off a ladder, but even then we will not have him back until after the Lions tour, stupid decision by the WRU. There are plenty of coaches in the World why let the Lions disrupt us in this manner? mad

by mystiroakey Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:36 pm

oh right i thought it was all for the lions, couldnt understand why it was so early!!

The WRU want him for the NZ and (Aus or SA?) test in the AI - I think they will get him

by GavinDragon Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:45 pm

i am nervous still, ball in hand in dry weather Australia will be a completely different prospect, however my nerves are settled alittle by Edwards confirming in the press today that the speed of the Welsh game needs to go up two gears....

basically we will need a performance on a par with the SA game in the WC, but obviously need to take our chances, after seeing how Scotland dragged the Aussie 8 into an arm wrestle and won I will be expecting the welsh game to attempt the same, especially with the Aussies short in the boiler house..

by doctor_grey Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:57 pm

To me the Scotland win simply increases the excitement surrounding the Australia-Wales match. The Wallabies have been bloodied on their home patch. Not the full team mind, nor with much practise, and in a terrible storm. But bloodied they are. The lads in red must sense the possibilities in front. The Wallabies will be bloody minded to prevent it.

This is what is making this series to be fantastic. Can't wait til Saturday!

Always with the total lack of confidence Alyn? Keep it going bro, good omen after the 6N angel

by mckay1402 Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:12 pm

I think if Wales win the first test they'll win 3-0

Mate you are talking about Australia here, they are ranked number 2 in the world, you ain't gonna beat them 3-0.

by mystiroakey Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:16 pm

Aye but if wales win the first game they have a chance at going to no.2 in the world- so maybe he is on the money!!

by **Biltong** Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:19 pm

mystir, it isn't againt Wales, when was the last time Wales beat Australia 3 times in a row?

For that matter apart from the all blacks when was the last time any other nation beat Australia three times in a row in Australia?

That doesn't make sense. the fact that they are second in a ranking system which doesn't take into account matches in the future hads no bearing on what will happen in this test series. I appreciate that you're trying to point out that they got there by beating other teams etc but I think Wales wll be looking to go and put a mark down after the world cup.

They should have a dominant pack and i think the backs will behungry as well. And the reason I qualified it by saying if they win the first test is because, whichever way you cook it that loss today will have dented the Aussie confidence and to lose another one so soon after with a stronger team will knock them for six while simultaneously boosting Wales.

I'm not saying Wales will necessarily win the first test but I think that if they do they will win all three tests

by Liam Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:22 pm

Do you know what, I'm sick of being the pessimist and now so I can enjoy the series even more, I am confident Wales can win this series. Our scrum is superb and although it wasn't a full strength pack for the Aussie today, if they start going backwards on the first scrum it could well be curtains for them. Not many sides are good enough to win with a poor scrum.

I think Wales are bringing a winning mentality down under along with the GS you have the O's boys coming off the back of a big win in Leinster, and with only Jaime missing through injury we have a pretty much injury free squad. I'm not saying we are going to win 3-0, almost impossible away from home, but i'm confident we can get the 2 wins we need and then hopfully we can progress further, and in the AI change the mentality of the SH sides visiting the MS. The goal now is to beat at least 2/3 at home consistently. We want them coming to the MS thinking 'we haven't won here for a while'. Its tough and only results can implement this new age but a win down under and it will be a giant step in cementing this Welsh side as a top 3/4 nation on a consistent basis.

I made a mistake when i qouted that. I meant Wales jump to 3rd behind the Springboks who naturally go into number 2 .

I will have tremendous respect to the team that goes to Australia and beats those wily crims 3 times in a row. Thats on par with beating the Boks at Ellis Park, Newlands and for good measure Loftus . Will not happen

not on par with winning a world cup final there tho surely Aus Vs Wales; are you nervous or excited? - Page 2 590675

by GavinDragon Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:33 pm

ok so our bok brethren say no chance of a white-wash (which i agree with) but a 2-1 victory a possibility in your opinion?

by Bullsbok Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:36 pm

MOST DEFINITELY !!!Which is why those Wobblies need to a straueli style kamp Staaldraad ASAP

by Knowsit17 Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:36 pm

I think we should talk about winning the first test before we begin planning any 3-0 series wins Whistle

Let's face it, the Aussies are generally top 3 material, 3N champs and don't come unstuck at home very often at all barring today. The odds are still well against us going home undefeated and they'll remain so until the final day, provided we even make it to that final day without a loss.

Not only that but I expect the Australian kitchen sink from day 1. They're going to put everything into avoiding losing to a second consecutive NH side on home soil.

I have every confidence in this Welsh side but seriously, one step at a time boys! Complacency will only ensure a glum atmosphere around here come Saturday evening. Let's focus on that acid first test and nothing beyond yet Wales
