Great player, great career! Tough, hard, uncompromising, the epitome of what an international lock should be. Thanks for all you've given to the game big boy!

The Wales / NZ game opening is like the opening of a World Cup, just fireworks and flames.

Woah. Great rendition of the Welsh anthem. The mens' choir is a great sound for anthems.

It was great, it even gave me goosebumps.

Dunno if you lot have turned over to the Wales vs NZ game, but this Ireland Aus game is still there for the taking with 10 to go. 26-23 to Ireland. Cooper, Genia and AAC are on for Aus.

Go Ireland, hold on!!!

Ireland takes a great win.

Mein gott! What a game that was! Irrrreeeland!

 

[OGroteKoning]

What a great game of rugby! I thoroughly enjoyed that! Well done Ireland, you deserved the win

 

[Spizz]

What a game. Ireland 26-23. They weathered the storm for the last 20 but well deserved nonetheless.

Their defense was excellent

Their defense was excellent

And their discipline. Never gave an inch.

Gees, 13-10 to Wales after 53! Another cracker!

Northern hemisphere teams playing well.

Wales was great for 70 minutes but losing it now.

I'm very surprised at this Welsh side. They held out very well and I would have thought the difference at 70mins would have been much bigger in NZ's favour

Yeah, they held on gallantly but are wilting fast. Not sure they going to be too keen to face the Boks next Saturday after today's work out.

To think they were 16-15 up after 68 minutes?? Very much a 70 minute team, Wales.

Real battle of a game. NZ showing you need to play the full 80.
