[Ammi]

...don't feel bad, it happens to all of us truth...and I reckon you're just a big ocean of emotions anyway...

[Ammi]

..I bet the Welsh choirs are incredible though..

[Iceman]

Ireland getting good ground work done. Really need to win next match to avoid a death match

[Crimson Dynamo]

Not Wales wanting the win more than England and England making terrible game decisions?

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Crimson Dynamo]

Welp this is not looking good

[Cherie]

:omgno:

[MTVN]

Shambles, glad I'm not really a rugby fan or I'd be pretty disconsolate right now. Fair play to the Aussies who played a great game tonight, still hard not to feel bitter about having them and Wales in our group when the second strongest team in Group C are the Argies

[LaLaLand]

Come on Wales!! :)

..I got a phone call late last night from the guys...they were in a bar in London with a group of Australian supporters so it was hard to hear exactly...but they didn't sound that disconsolate at all...in fact they sounded very chipper...

[Cherie]

Ireland :dance: although they didn't play that well :worry:

[Kizzy]

Can I just say well done to Leeds on here?... Fanks :D

[the truth]

Ireland outsnading today, very bad luck with injuries , hopefully they recover for the mighty pumas of argentina
Australia wales was a titanic game, aussies will probably beat jockland next, the all blacks will smash the frogs and I think the welsh will sneak past the springboks

proud of the welsh team....theyre a small nation and they lost 10 backs to injuries, amazing how well they did without them

[Iceman]

[MTVN]

C'mon the Argies!!!!!

[Novo]

The Argies are bottling it

[Iceman]

C'mon the Argies!!!!!

Didn't know you were a supporter of them.

[Novo]

Argies are gutless, even in Football Uruguay are more succesful if your going on World Cups + Copa America titles

[Ninastar]
