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.

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

by **Ozzy3213** Fri Oct 21, 2011 9:26 am

Right

I will say this once. walesworldcup and HERSH, if you want to discuss the match please feel free to do so. The next dig by either you at the other one's side will result in a ban. You will not get another warning.

by HERSH Fri Oct 21, 2011 9:26 am

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.

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.

Right, instead of derailing the thread with cries to the mods to take action keep on topic. The mods are on this thread and working behind the scenes so trust them to do their job instead of complaining please.

by eirebilly Fri Oct 21, 2011 9:36 am

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

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri Oct 21, 2011 9:36 am

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

by **Ozzy3213** Fri Oct 21, 2011 9:36 am

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

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!

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

by Gatts Fri Oct 21, 2011 9:40 am

Doubt you'll see Hook start at 10 again

by doctor_grey Fri Oct 21, 2011 9:40 am

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

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri Oct 21, 2011 9:40 am

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