      Ireland forget how to tackle. We're done now. Well done Wales. Two tries and a conversion in it.

      Far too many errors by Ireland. Sad to see them have a bad game. Credit to Wales and Gatland

      Conceading that try in the first minutes was awful, as a result I think Ireland tried to rush it too much offensively, they could have had at least 9 points from penalties in the 1st half but chose to go for the try and equalize straight away but failed. Wales are brilliant in defense.

      So disappointed :(

      Not sure who I'll support now, probably Argentina. It's weird to say that but I like them in rugby

      Wales looked more hungry, had more energy, had more ideas than us! :(

      Gutted for the players like ROG, BOD and POC. The better team on the day won so I have no complaints.

      Hope the Welsh smash England in the semis now!

      I hate it when Ireland are favourites and expected to win. Wales defended superbly and got their tactics spot on. Philips was able to run the show 2nd half and Roberts/Warburton were immense. At 10-10 I thought we had the momentum to go on and win but the Welsh picked it up again.We kicked atrociously and made too many errors at that point as well. A shame all that possession and territory in the first half wasn't turned into scores. C'mon France.

      You should support Wales Diego. Ireland's point scoring game got them this far. Tried to play Wales at their own game after the early try and couldn't cope with the speed of the Welsh attack. If we were going to do that Sexton should have started. Otherwise stick to your strong points. Well done again to Wales. Well deserved. Go to the final ya caunts

      Absolutely gutted, Ireland just weren't at the races.

      Full credit to Wales they were hungrier. I'm off for a few hours Kip then back on the Good Stuff.

      Well happy with that performance this morning, For one of the few times in history we have a team acting like a team and playing as a team no individuals with ego,s or their own agendas ,Ireland played their part and would have beaten any one of ,France or England , it will be tough next week but get some rest a good week behind us play as we have been with no fear and i can see us making the final , which for a small playing nation like ours would be immense. CYMRU AM BYTH.

      No mate I really don't, I only started to follow rugby this year, but I really fell in love with the sport, been watching a lot of it.

      I know Ireland are famous underperformers in the big competitions but aren't Wales the same? The Irish were so good in the group stage, I really expected them to win, but Wales defense has been amazing in the whole WC.

      They had plenty of old timers last time out which is what got them through to the final in France. But this time they had too many players who just got lost when the going got tough. They had no leaders. In France they had leaders when it mattered. Lawrence Dallaglio and Mike Catt especially. This time round they had too much immaturity displayed you could argue in their off field actions.
