Wales get the grand slam

Wales have had the best deffence, and best attack this year. Plain and simple. They have been able to take chances when presented to them, and make their chances when not gifted to them... as well as having a rock solid defence thats only leaked two trys all tournement.

And to add to that, we havent even played that well at all, we were crap against England, did OK against Italy and Scotland, had a stormer against Ireland, after playing with only 14 men for 20 minutes.. and put France away.. the same France that beat the All Blacks a few months ago in the same stadium.. granted, they have a coach that changes his team more than his underwear now !

as for that other team in the Northern Hemisphere.. well it might just be us.. we've beaten Australia in 2006, and our second team coached by officialy Wales' worst coach almost beat them in Oz last year...

p.s. Inverdale should be shot, or at least banned from being a BBC presenter.. talk about one sided and biased ! there isnt a pub in Wales or Scotland or Ireland that probably hasnt got someone that hates him !

As much as it pains me to say it, the second team is England.

As long as all the blooding of youngsters comes to fruition in the future(IE win a world cup) then i can tolerate Frances poor results until then.

I've been going along to wasps matches for the last 7-8 years and i know too well the value of Gatland/Edwards. They have certainly done well with Wales thus far, although i wonder how much more there is to come from them?

Overall they've been the best team in the tournament this year, but i still really doubt if they can beat southern hemisphere teams with any regularity.

As for France there have been flashes of brilliance(mostly involving Clerc/Heymans/Malzieu), but i think the fundamental problem is that our forwards are too small physically. Its not just England that have a massive pack, most teams do now. I think are front 5 are poor in comparison to other countries. The back row is decent enough.

If i were coach( ), then i would play Elisalde at half back with Skrela/Beauxis. We have enough flair in the back line that we really just need someone with a good boot at 10.

As a final thought the French coaching staff realy need to ditch those turtle necks.

Right. But you're happy enough with the black velvet jackets?

Well done the sheepshaggers

Sour Grapes dude, the best team won on the day. Take with good humour, same as I do all the biased supporters saying we lost it,Wales didn't win it. England, then Ireland and now you are not willing to admit you were beaten by a better team on the day.

Wales won and credit to them. Its no excuse to say that your own team played poorly to allow Wales to win as either way the losing team was the worse team, end of.

England beat France, that'll do me for now.

corrected for you.............

Wales deserved it - only team that played well the whole tournament. Got to say though - France were pretty dreadful... Wales opened well, then there was a tedious bit where france seemed to lie on the floor in heaps while Wales stood and whatched - then Wales finished in style.

England seemed to spend the tournament alternating between really good and really really really bad. I vote a different commentor for their next Match though - the chap that was on and Cipriani should really get a room.
