I think my heart nearly stopped working during that Ireland game. One of the best games of the year for sure.

Your heart nearly stopped?! I am actually heart broken! That was so intense I really thought we had it!! Last time we were so close to beating them, we drew 22-22 and it was so close to happening again. Conor Murray and Rob Kearney played so well! I can't spell his name but the No. 11 for New Zealand is actually UNREAL! Sucks that O' Driscoll came off even though he wasn't doing a lot. I feel he would have been better in defence than who replaced him.

What a great game though, so sickened we lost but jesus christ I am so proud of that team. Seriously amazing.

Nobody to blame but Ireland though let's be fair. Threw that game away simply.

From a young amateur age your taught to keep the ball towards to end of a game if your winning and run the clock, it's even more common sense if your playing a team like NZ where you can't make any mistakes.

The charging without the kicker moving is also a stupid one. Again, your taught that you can't move until the kicker moves at an extremely young age.

I felt that I was watching a secondary school rugby team for the last 4 minutes it was unbelievable.

:S too close! Two close games in two weeks, we need to step up our game again.

Re: Wales vs Australia.

Went down there, atmosphere was kicking, just a shame about the result.
Thought we played well, but the Aussies were excellent. Cooper was stand out.
One more thing: I still hate Priestland.

Australia had to find world class form against us of all people . Quade Cooper was absolutely incredible, I wish we had a fly half like him, or with his skill set, then our back line would be one of the worlds best.

Australias winning try shouldn't have been a try in my opinion, ball went forward. Saying that though, they were incredibly unlucky not to score on other occasions.

Wales were missing our starting 12 and 13 which I think could have made a big difference. Personally I think if it had been JD and North in the centres with Eli Walker on the wing then we would have won. Obviously they're injured so that couldn't happen.

Still think Wales have potential to be a world class side and continue to dominate Northern Hemisphere.

Australia are getting worse?

Nope, Wales just played really well. There where parts of the game where I felt Australia had played their best in a long time.

Cooper is back to his 2010 ways. That is a bad thing for everyone except Australia.

A forward pass is one where the hands go forward (not the ball), so the try should have stood. Australia had the game to lose but I thought we played very well indeed!

Australia are getting worse?

Not at all, they are getting better (look at the England game).

Nope, Wales just played really well. There where parts of the game where I felt Australia had played their best in a long time.

I'm just super excited for the Six Nations in February now... especially after the Irish performance.

I'm ready looking forward to it too, looks like it's set to be a good one!
