Wales vs England; Slam time?

OK.

England will murder Wales in the world cup ,Wales dont believe they can win a world cup ,they will have one big game in them ,that will be it .  Quarter final team . Do not have the mentality to win a world cup.

England were lucky to get that 3 tbf

This is such a joy to see rugby winning out.  The Gym Monkeys have been well and truly put in their place by both Wales and finally ref'd correctly.

comms are right no matter how you think Walsh has reffed the game the english back row has been owned by SW/tip

that has to be a card Mr Walsh

Come on Walsh where's the yellow for that?

lol wat np yellow card because it would ruin the game??

wtf was that

Care WTF was that

we must be watching bbc wales

I'm glad England won't get the Grand Slam playing their brand of rugby. Admirable though they are they don't  do it for me.

Wales can't mess this up can they?

Layed a bit of 1.01 the Outright Winner just in case it ends in tears

all we need now are 3 Eng tries to gub the 1.01 outright

has Tom Croft been playing?

the 1.01 chance went Alun when walsh didn't card big mike

30-3

Where have I seen that score before in Cardiff

Wales v Ireland. 45mins gone

not a bad night to be out in Cardiff

look at walsh..just loving the attention

Poor old Brian sounds like he's in tears of seething incandescent rage

eeven in Caroline Street aa ?

you're a disgrace walsh

Walsh loves to look up at the big screen to see if he's on cam

Cheers Vis.

England would have won if Walsh wasn't reffing

England are overrated gym monkey kar p

I can't wait to read the London papers to see how Hollywood Steve cost the Golden Generation Greatest Team of All Time the Grand Slam

cardiff pub and bar owners now doing somersaults and on lastminute.com booking their holidays

The Lions squad will be full of Welsh players

The bottom line is eng have been poor, worse since the subs have been made!

Yummy,you can't be serious if you think Walsh has won Wales this game ?

Unlucky Crofty

Oh my gawd Mike Brown has been outstandingly awful in both defence and attack .

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss


well done wales!!!!

like most male appendages yummy has only one eye.

Well done Wales !!!

  Will lift the nation .

look at clueless Ashton there completely over running that ball and leaving his wing wide open.

Parling the only one to have turned up for Eng today.

put them out of their misery Walsh !

lol and then even he drops it

great match ,great win for wales

Mike Tindall & Sara Phillips will be seething

Zara

Well done Wales. England have been a rotten team to watch over the last three games.

MAGNIFICENT!

Well at least it was close.... 

Great win, Tipuric and Warburton outstanding - well they all were to be fair.  Just a word for 3-step Mike, he has his critics and I've had plenty of pops in the past, but he always turns up for the big ones.

The english will be on now to say the ref was biased against them

I love Zara



WALES ARE CHAMPIONS  !!!

Warren Gatland must be c*ck a hoop

it was like watching barcelona v accrington stanley.

Wales would have won the world cup, if Warburton didn't receive that red card.

trundling forwards with no ball in hand or running skills.

Have Moore and Guscott and co come up with an explanation for the ANNIHILATION yet?

They have put it down to experience which England will learn from

Eng going to have to have a good look at those players who didn't turn up today!

National papers now looking for something else to put on the front pages.

i blame the stadium roof

playing golf with the groundsman tomorrow morning so will find out wtf he told Lancaster!!

  vinny.

I blame too much media intrusion in the England camp

The facts are is this England team is nowhere near the finished article that some thought they were.
That victory against the AB'S gave loads of false hope.
This will be a good England team........in about 2-3 years.

Surely there's a good opportunity for a Chance Human Rights Lawyer to plead England's case in the European Courts re: Walsh?

alun

he had our trousers down and........well you know the rest

he didnt even try to "level things up" by yellow carding Mike at the end

It's just about the first time I've watched him ref a game and managed to avoid getting myself seethed up with apopleptic rage.

Let's be honest - it was a poor 6 Nations - Wales 's first half against Ireland was awful, Ireland lose to Italy  , who were unlucky not to beat England . The French have been tragic, the Scots have even turned up to play ! .

The end result is , once again , the English have failed when they had it all at their feet . Not only have some of their glamour boys failed to take their chances at this championship - they will have failed to become Lions !!

But didn't they fail in style?

rjb

It's always a poor 6N on this board

Rugby league is for nancy boys

Rugby league is more physical than Union in my opinion,but neither codes are for any nancy  boys.

not so sure stewards

union players definitely bigger and heavier

but I agree not for nancy boys

I work with a guy that has played both codes at quite a high standard.He swears League is.But like I say,it's only the opinion I've made,and wouldn't claim to be correct.

Can barely remember Wales playing with such ferocity and commitment. Some of the tackling was out of this world. Hibbard was like a madman!

Not sure where they pulled that game from, but there were not to be denied. They wanted it, and played like warriors.

Smashed England in the scrum, and defended like demons and took their chances.

Fantastic stuff!

Does this mean Wales will take over from the over hype of England winning the rugby WC now ?
England have more chance of winning it than Wales,and England have very little.

I may be living in a parallel universe here but how on earth can you say England have a better chance of winning the World cup than Wales based on todays game???!!!!

England were completely outclassed in every department,they still lack any creativity whatsoever,and their pack is not in the top 6 packs in the world.

They did very well to only lose by 27 points given the gulf in class and they wont be beating that Welsh team in a hurry.

tbh considering england have a population of 40 odd million and wales only 3 million i think wales were amazing. we love our rugby in wales and am very proud tonite. we looked awesome

There has to be a question whether Wales can play better than that or indeed reach that level of intensity playing in England during the world cup. Irrespective England have a good record at world cups because nearly every game they play outside a world cup the other team has some real or imaginary grievance which turns them into mad axemen. By the time world cups come around England are usually (not always) battle hardened by these encounters and they too play like mad axemen thus negating the usual advantage of the other team.

It will certainly be an interesting group with England, Wales and the Aussies but history tells us that England or France are the only teams likely to win a world cup. Wales could do so with this team but they will have to learn not to accept the mantle of unlucky or plucky losers.

Well done today.

By England and France I mean northern hemisphere.

Well done Wales , you played like you wanted to win it more than England . You get out of a season what you put into it .

some night to be out in cardiff, wish i was back home

That will have done that Young England team the world of good losing like that on a big occassion.I rate this England team,but was gald they got don't on their but today because they were over hyped(From media and Public,not Lancaster)
Last time I checked the RWC is in 2015,England will do far better than Wales imho.
Out of all the 6 Nations teams,England are the only one that have potential.
Like it or not,it's the truth.

Cymru am byth!

steard..........what game did you watch.........not the same as the rest of us......you could take zero encouragement for englands WC chances

steward*

yes, very strange comments by stewards, think he must be trying to wind us up as he cant possibly be serious.

He must be.It's a fair case to say Scotland are about where England are at the moment and i wouldn't like to call the winner of that one in a one off World Cup game.

No need for an over reaction to today's game. Before today, Wales played average rugby at best. Outplayed by Ireland first half, then decent (but no more) victories against France, Italy and Scotland (admittedly away from home), being 6 Nations champions does not make us world beaters. If we can play like we did against England in every game, then that's a different matter.

For now, let's enjoy the moment!

indeed JOCI! they're lousy chariots were last seen with no wheels,blocking the bryn glas tunnel.

Feels great to DESTROY them and to watch the pathetic attempts to pick something from the ashes by their fans is just comedy gold!

Why shouldn't Eng fans pick something from the ashes?  This is the best side we have had since 2003 and we then sat through 9 years of dross.  We don't get many chances to be encouraged and there are some good signs there compared to previous regimes post RWC win.  Eng may not be that good, but they have beaten the best.  Wales may not be that good either, given it is not so long ago that they lost 8 on the bounce.

Let's not also forgot this was the worst 6N ever.  Not a view I agree with, but the usual line was being trotted out once again on here - mostly when it looked like Eng were going to win it

Absolutely Vis. I agree laregely with Eternaloptimist. Most opponents raise their game for a match against England, it's the way of the world and there's no denying it. England got to a WC final with the worst team they've had in 10 years in 2007 and they are AT HOME in 2015.

a complete over reaction as usual, of course Wales were excellent on the day and thoroughly enjoyed spoiling the party prepared by the English media hype machine.
With twats like Inverdale spouting complete bollox-none worse than the ridiculous half time time comments in the Italy game.

England cannot be assessed on purely 1 loss just as Wales cant be rated by 1 win as there are so many ifs and buts. For example what if Tuilagi hadn't dropped the easy run in under the posts after 10 minutes-a different game then I would have thought.

I went to the Wales/Arg match in November where pretty much the same Welsh team was piss poor and got stuffed. Likewise you cant rate Wales on one loss to a very poor 3rd tier Ireland.

Of course England will take something from the Ashes for the very reasons that Vis gives, plus by and large it was a young and inexperienced team especially compared to the Welsh team. A big criticism from my Celtic friends appears to be England's lack of creativity well from my perspective I would love England to see England line up something like

9  Take your pick
10 Freddie
11 Strettle
12 12trees
13 Tuilangi
14 Anyone but Ashton
15 Brown/Foden

Well done Wales

ps such a shame that the try scoring English born/educated Cuthbert decided to jump ship
