Wales v Fiji Thread etc etc

by bedfordwelsh Mon 26 Sep 2011, 11:22 am

First topic message reminder :

OK so we are now down to the last group game and a win would hopefully see us into the Quarters, by the time we play then SA would have played Samoa and we will know what result we nee.

We have now seen all the 30 man squad have a run out so what would be your starting 22 for Fiji. Heres mine:

P James (given Jenkins time off the bench)
H Bennett
A Jones
AWJ
L Charteris
R Jones (Rest Lydiate until quarters)
T Faletau
S Warburton

M Phillips
R Priestland

S Williams (if fit Brew if not)
J Roberts
J Davies (but would like to see Sc Williams and Roberts get some gametime)
G North

L Halfpenny

Jenkins, Burns, Davies, Powell, S Jones, L Wiiliams (Knoyle disappointed today), Sc Williams

Argh nooo! We needed that lineout. Bhugger.

Goooooooooo Scott Williams!!! He's turning out to be a tidy player!

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:20 am

Scotty!!!!!!

Super handling by Wales there, loooovely try. Just great hands by Roberts, North and Priestland, love it!

14 - 0, tidy.

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:21 am

Boooom! Lovely try! Good hands by the boys

by Cymroglan Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:21 am

Brilliant interplay between North and Williams.

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:22 am

Just got up. Wasn't easy.

Lovely try Scott Williams.

by eirebilly Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:22 am

Wales really going about the buisness here. Looking very strong.

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:22 am

I tell you what some of these youngsters are turning out to be super players. It's great to see.

0 - 14

Scott Williams is cute as well which sends up the totty pointage for Wales Wink

by Shifty Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:22 am

about time we got an offside call, their not rolling away in the tackle either.. sort it out barnes Sad

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:22 am

aye those two will know each other's games really well Cymro, if I'm not mistakedn I think they used to play in the centre together for Wales U20's. (I could be wrong there, either way they've played for Llanelli and Scarlets together too)

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:24 am

oh man Charteris is getting some horrible passes his way.

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:24 am

ooh some great handling there. Come on boys, let's go for the BP win and then some Very Happy

by eirebilly Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:24 am

Got to show a yellow card soon..

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:25 am

Priestland going for a penalty kick.

0 - 17. Nailed it.

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:25 am

Good hands Charteris. It's a long way down for him to pick it off his boot laces!

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:25 am

17-0 after a penalty kick from Rhys P. Keep it ticking over boys, that'll be nice.

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:27 am

Hmmm that was dodgy from Byrne, didn't even look like he'd tried to tackle that Fijian. Anyway, they didn't get down the wing.

Awh bless Bread is only 23 on his birthday next week! I suddenly feel old... Very Happy

by **Biltong** Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:28 am

Barnes is missing a few decisions for fiji, knock on from a kick by wales just outside their 22, belly flp into the ruck, a hand in the ruck blown as a knock on by fiji.

I see another tweet coming.

by eirebilly Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:28 am

I dont feel very happy about meeting a Welsh side with this confidence in the 1/4 finals. Great stuff so far

by Cymroglan Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:30 am

Fiji are doing the same mistakes we used to do kicking possesion away.

by **Biltong** Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:30 am

I don't like the way barnes is allowing Wales to ly over the ruck and play the ball.

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:32 am

Ah but biltong I'm not liking how he's letting Fiji stay offside at some rucks and he's missed 2 high tackles at least already.

Safe to say, he's missing things for both sides.

Great breakout by Scott Williams but I so wish he'd passed to 1/2p!

by **Biltong** Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:32 am

yeah, absolutely, but the problem with the breakdown is the same we had with barnes against wales.

by **Biltong** Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:33 am

pinged, well done Barnes

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:34 am

The weather's deteriorating there which won't help anyone now.

by Cymroglan Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:35 am

Well done George

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:36 am

ooo Bradely is down. Hope he's okay, I missed what happened.

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:37 am

Oh no Bradley Davies injured....he took a knock earlier on though. Hope he's all right.

Here comes Alybongo if he's coming off. Not a bad replacement.

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:38 am

Looks like he might've banged his head Dreamer. He's seeing double at the moment...but he's staying. I hope he's all right to stay on.

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:38 am

looks like he knocked his head somewhere but he's back up. Not sure he should be staying on to be honest but he is.

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:39 am

It's always iffy with head injuries isn't it?

Goooo Georgie boy!!!!

by Cymroglan Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:39 am

That's my boy

by Shifty Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:39 am

a fit of a forward pass there but we will take it Very Happy

by Gatts Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:40 am

Best forward pass of the tournament

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:40 am

Nice try North. We'll ignore the forward pass Wink

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:40 am

Forward pass for that try. Bad decision by ref. But well worked try. Feel sorry for Fiji there. However, I don't think it was racism.

by eirebilly Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:40 am

Good try Wales, pity about the 2 forward passes in the leadup though Wink

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:40 am

Georgie!!!!!!

That was an amazing try, I can hardly believe what I'm seeing, the passng and support play is brilliant!

on the replays actually one or two looked slightly forward, hmm, good try anyway Wink

by **Biltong** Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:41 am

Tony Johnson and Marshall are up in arms about that forward pass.

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:41 am

ooh was that a forward pass though? It was missed if it was.

0 - 24

by Cymroglan Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:42 am

Bradley needs to be taken off

by **Biltong** Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:43 am

Tony johnson moaning there was another forward pass.

I think the NZ commentators are clearly siding with the pacific islanders on decisions etc.

Marshal does carry on a bit as well

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:43 am

Come on Lloyd. No pens today.

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:43 am

I'm not surprised Biltong! even the Welsh commentators on S4C aren't all that happy about it, they called it forward straight away.

Barnes is starting to miss a lot.

Hmmm, earlly sub of Bennett, maybe his hip is playing him up again. Burns on.

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:43 am

I don't like it when TJ/refs miss stuff like that because some critics blame the players which isn't fair, and it puts a dampener on the try scored.

Yeah Davies should be replaced at HT.

Benny off and Lloyd Burns on.

Were seeing the Welsh commentators luckily, tell your lot Barnes has screwed Wales so many times he owes us as least a few favours!

by Guest Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:46 am

ah no that Fijian's knee looks like it might ahve gone, he's got loads of strapping on it already.

ah can't believe that he's back up and walking.

by Gatts Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:46 am

Gatts nearly smiled

by Cymroglan Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:46 am

Brilliant North

by Shifty Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:46 am

Warburton you beauty! Yahoo

by Cari Sun 02 Oct 2011, 6:46 am

Ah no Alyn, I don't want people to say Wales only won cause of Barnes. They've been playing very well and deserve credit.

Georgie's off again.....Gooooo Bread of Seven!!!

BP!! Yahoo
