Keep hoping, yer in for a hiding on saturday.
A Leprechaun must a hit a nerve, lmao. We will see, no amount of male choirs are gonna help you this weekend boyo,

[A Leprechaun]

All depends on how many different match balls the Welsh want to use

[DeanPF]

Ha ha good seeing that you Irish boys still having gotten over that (to be fair) swift thinking of Mickey Phillips , the boy who threw him the ball obviously doesnt know all the shitty little rules involved - we Welsh have come to terms with David Wallace getting away with killing the ball continuously every time fuckin time you play us, so maybe you should move on! Not hit a nerve, just jumped on a chance to correct a load of bollocks being talked with absolutely zero substance, as every credible pundit has pointed out that Wales are the best team (so far) from the Northern Hemisphere and are the team to beat- but knowing Welsh rugby that could disappear in a heartbeat I'm afraid. We shall see on Saturday boys, but I reckon the only hiding thats gonna be dished out will be on that Phil Mitchell'ed skin-toned Fly Half of your by the way of Sam Warburton shoulders, cos' as I've said before - getting old you boys are . I wonder which number'll be higher, the amount of broken ribs sustained by O'Gara or the ammount of times we collapse you boys in the scrum?......

May the best team win (as long as its Ireland) Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't ireland favourite to win saturday?
I have a felling that heartbeat will happen saturday. Dont take earlir posts too harshly, its all banter in here for me.

[DeanPF]

Favourites eh?

Hard to tell really. I know its all banter course but you and the Leper just gobbed off without mentioning anything substantial about Irelands performance in the World Cupso far! Kinda like what O'Driscoll did during the Haka in the first Lions Vs NZ test in 2005 which resulted in Tana Umaga dropping him straight on his overgrown head . Fair play though, next time you boys mouth off provide some evidence to show that your not just all mouth ha. We'll see how much gob you boys got by 8am Saturday morning en Nos da bechgyn!

We don't mind having the underdog status for this match just ask the Aussies

Irish Team to Play Wales,

15 - Rob Kearney (UCD/Leinster)
14 - Tommy Bowe (Ospreys)
13 - Brian O'Driscoll (UCD/Leinster) (capt)
12 - Gordon D'Arcy (Lansdowne/Leinster)
11 - Keith Earls (Young Munster/Munster)
10 - Ronan O'Gara (Cork Constitution/Munster)
9 - Conor Murray (Garryowen/Munster)
1 - Cian Healy (Clontarf/Leinster)
2 - Rory Best (Banbridge/Ulster)/Sean Cronin (Leinster)
3 - Mike Ross (Clontarf/Leinster)
4 - Donncha O'Callaghan (Cork Constitution/Munster)
5 - Paul O'Connell (Young Munster/Munster)
6 - Stephen Ferris (Dungannon/Ulster)
7 - Sean O'Brien (Clontarf/Leinster)
8 - Jamie Heaslip (Naas/Leinster)

Replacements:

16 - Sean Cronin (Leinster)/Damien Varley (Garryowen/Munster)
17 - Tom Court (Malone/Ulster)
18 - Donnacha Ryan (Shannon/Munster)
19 - Denis Leamy (Cork Constitution/Munster)
20 - Eoin Reddan (Lansdowne/Leinster)
21 - Jonathan Sexton (St. Mary's College/Leinster)
22 - Andrew Trimble (Ballymena/Ulster)

There's probably a chance that Best may still miss the game,then Cronin would start and Varley would come in on the bench.

The Bulk of that Irish team are used to playing winning knock out cup rugby [ie the Heinekin Cup]

This is one of those games that could go to the wire and be won by a last minute drop goal,

Should be a cracker of a game anyway,just hope it lives up to its billing.

No doubt one of us will be coming one having a pop at the refs,ha ha.Good luck dude.

Dont think Gatlands announce the Starting XV yet cos I think he's seeing how Hook, Shane and Lydiate do in training. Fair play my arseholes starting to twitch a bit with anticipation now, just for the fact as a rugby fan the huge battles that'll be going on the pitch. I think the main area I'm speaking of is the Centre Battle: both Irish midfielders are uber experienced, and I'd be happy D'Arcy's back because he is class. Seeming as Johnny Davies is quite young he hasn't shown any nerves or made schoolboy errors yet but if he does Brynmor's boy Scott Williams I think'll come on and do the business. O'Driscoll vs Roberts will be awesome, huge hits guaranteed throughout - but I reckon O'Driscolls shoulder will break before Jamie Roberts' jaw does . I also reckon the second row will be a huge battle as well as the apparent "hardmen" from both teams play here. I reckon I've seen your prettyboy Donnacha O'Callaghan grip at least a dozen players and never actually lamp anyone, and I reckon Llantrisant boy Bradley Davies wont be too happy if he does this. Alun Wyn Vs O'Connells bound to be physical as well, as both of them are not to be fucked with in the slightest (especially O'Connell if I'm truthful). The back row is even more important IF as you predict (and so do I) it goes down to the skin of the shit, to which Wales havent put a foot wrong as yet. As for the ref, I hope whoever the cunt is he doesnt discredit the winning teams effort whoever wins - and if that shithouse Wayne Barnes is appointed, I shall be congratulating you at the kickoff boys . Oh aye, good luck boys lets hope whoever wins we knock living fuck out of each other!

hahahaha you Welshies get very wound up when it comes to Rugby.

[DeanPF]

Course we do, our football teams a fucking embarrassment!

Course we do, our football teams a fucking embarrassment!

LOL, I suppose everyone needs one good team to shout about.

[A Leprechaun]

Up to 30.000 Irish fans and its expected to piss down,so it will feel like a home match for us.

[DeanPF]

The side's are in:
BACKS
15. Leigh Halfpenny
14. George North
13. Jamie Roberts
12. Jonathan Davies
11. Shane Williams
10. Rhys Priestland
9. Mike Phillips
FORWARDS
1. Gethin Jenkins
2. Huw Bennett
3. Adam Jones
4. Luke Charteris
5. Alun Wyn Jones
6. Dan Lydiate
7. Sam Warburton (c)
8. Toby Faletau

Fair play, I was a bit when I couldnt see Hook on the teamsheet, but Priestland's shown so far that he's more than capable. Also, I wasn't expecting Halfpenny at Full Back due to him being a bit on the smallish side but I think Hook's on the bench to cover this position (as well as No. 10). The reason I think Gatland's chosen Charteris over Brad Davies is to maintain our already (for once) impressive lineout as he's 6'11", but I wouldn't mind seeing him bulk up a tad to take on your Dirty Irish Dogs in the Second Row! With that back row AND our front row, its for our backs to do the business- Shane Vs Tommy Bowe and Georgie Vs Keith Earls are bound to be entertaining battles I can promise you that, even though George's probably had bigger shits than Keithy (joke!).

30,000 Irish fans isit, where you get this stat from fella cos I aint got a clue how many Boyos are over there? It aint much better weather over the drink anyway boys, so if your already hoping on conditions to help your case boys I think you better pipe down as even with half the number of fans we'll be louder !8). Nah talking bollocks aside boys, I'm very much looking forward extending my usual Friday night session a few hours more to hopefully stay awake and see the game - hopefully the 2g of decent homegrown Jack H sat in a jar looking at me by here will make or break my chances on doing this. Enjoy the carnage boys

Fair play to the welsh, their defence were spot on though Ireland were shockingly bad.

[DeanPF]

Just as I though, Ireland werent that bad - Wales were that good though! Stat of the match - Dan Lydiate: 24 tackles made, none missed.
