italy v wales world cup qualifier

[GeordieSaint]

An absentee/unavailable/insert reason here team.

You need a 9; Knowles is never a 9 and it was ridiculous when Cunningham selected him as such. Out and out backrower with his best position at 13.

Can't see past the Italians for this game...

[Leyther_Matt]

It's definitely at Leigh, tickets are only a tenner

We have the luxury of having all of our hookers fit. Had to show horn him in to get a team (theoretically)

Rip off

[DoubleD]

If Wales had a full team they should win but with the team they have I can't see them having enough

[deluded pom?]

Rip off

Don't go then.

Sarcasm pass you by?

What is a 9?

[Number 16]

What is a 9?

Half of 69

[Exiled Wiganer]

Hats off to Wales!!!!

So pleased for them. Hope they enjoy their win long and hard and have a real go next year.

[Scubby]

What a fantastic win for Wales. John Kear deserves all the plaudits here. This guy is one hell of a motivator. Without Ben Flower and Rhys Williams too. Down 14-6 and dominated the second half. Fully deserved their place in the World Cup.

[deluded pom?]

Half of 69

I think you'll find 34.5 is half of 69.

Aneurin Bevan, Dylan Thomas, Huw Edwards, Shirley Bassey... your boys played a blinder!!

 

Great stuff, and the World Cup will be all the better for the Wales team being part of it.

Too true.

 

Really made up for everyone involved.

 

Good match too.

[Scubby]

Ireland ahead 38-12 at half time against Russia. So it looks like Russia v Italy for the last place.

[tango602]

Very happy that Wales have qualified for the World Cup again   

 

Ireland are 70-12 up against Russia aswell so it will definitely be Italy vs Russia at Leigh Sports Village for the final place in the tournament.

... another far-reaching and imaginative decision by the powers-that-be

 

Why?

[Swansea Jack]

European Champions now heading to the world cup with  superb coach. Wales. Wales. Wales

The beauty of Wales qualifying is that BBC Wales may commit to showing games as well as England's.

I doubt it, very much.

What is a 9?

 

Used to be a Hooker in RL

[Scubby]

I doubt it, very much.

 

I don't the BBC have the rights to show as many World Cup games as they like. Wales will tick the regional box for sure.

True. But they should have.

What about Tom Jones ?

[BroncoFan]

Looking at the teams on paper, Wales should not have beaten that Italian lineup, which is a testament to all those involved with this fantastic victory. Well done Wales.
