I think Wales will win within 7 points.

It's frightening how inexperienced England are. So many players with a handful of caps. 7 players with less than 5. Tuilagi with 7. A few with around 20

England 21- 19 Wales Cry

I'm interested to see what England are like in good weather though, they have played in a swamp and in Antartica, now lets try the sun.

If England lose but play well then they will take some confidence. If they get crushed then i fear for them against France and Ireland.

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 3:58 pm

I dont mind Wales winning (well.. ok i do!) so long as we put in a good performance and show some attacking intent.

If we are bad i know Moore will possible have a heart attack.

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 3:59 pm

Wey da massacre our national anthem... tomato

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:00 pm

Ah fair enough then, she gets to massacre the English anthem too.

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:01 pm

Very quiet thread for this match....

by HammerofThunor Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:01 pm

Good luck all. Let's hope it's a good one

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:02 pm

anyone getting dodgy sound on bbc hd? i dont i mean moore!

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:02 pm

STEVE WALSH, noooooo!

by HammerofThunor Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:02 pm

I hope Walsh has as good a game as he did with our QF against France. He was excellent in that game

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:02 pm

The Welsh are in the pub I said earlier.

They'll be on here tonight provided we win.

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:03 pm

Steve Walsh is going to wreck this match, i can see it now

by HammerofThunor Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:03 pm

That's harsh. I thought Barritt was the only tackler

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:04 pm

Sheesh, that was close

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:04 pm

Bloody hell Sad

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:04 pm

gulp!

by HammerofThunor Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:05 pm

My heart is going a mile a minute

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:05 pm

Twice from North Shocked

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:06 pm

From the start Wales are all over England. England are in for a hammering here. Really will be utterly smashed. Wales too big, too powerful and too good.

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:06 pm

North Man of the Match!

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:06 pm

Feic Wales are going to smash England.........

by WillyGilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:06 pm

2 great English tackles there.

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:07 pm

Big call from Walsh....

by HammerofThunor Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:07 pm

Really surprised Jones got (correctly) penalised for that. Usually get away with it

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:07 pm

Gwan England (feic did I just say that.... Shocked

)!

Calm down, Wales can go from awful to brilliant, and back in 3 minutes.

by king_carlos Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:08 pm

Good start Steve Walsh!

As I say that one go's our way though! Good field position.

North is one hell of a weapon though! Sad

Jeebus yer man Hartley couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo.....

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:09 pm

oh dear, if even the forwards can't control their line out (not acceptable as Moore says) then it will be a nasty scoreline come the end.

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:10 pm

This referee is normally pretty to kind to Wales to be fair.

I think he reffed us in the World Cup and was pretty decent.

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:11 pm

Feic England far too slow at the breakdown...thats one area were Wales are far superior.....

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:11 pm

England are hanging on here. Its just a matter of time i think

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:11 pm

Well, we're just useless aren't we. Can't win any ball.

by mystiroakey Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:12 pm

what tis going on with that welsh line- thank gawwwd

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:12 pm

Thank feic Wales have a rubbish lineout! Very Happy

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:12 pm

Yep, Englands lineout is the weak link Wink

That and Corbisiero a few phases later putting North out. And Owen Farrell just held Roberts good lad.

by nathan Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:13 pm

surely that was obstruction?

by trebellbobaggins Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:13 pm

Eng have a team of weak links until they have played some more Billy.

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:13 pm

"Munster" is a Welsh call?

by **rodders** Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:14 pm

English defence is good though, they need to be up quick and meet the Welsh carriers on the gainline..so far so good....

by eirebilly Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:14 pm

Too slow for Wales

by Shifty Sat 25 Feb 2012, 4:15 pm

What no yellow card and penalty try for that knock on? Whistle
