'13 WC | Group C/D | Wales 16-32 Italy | Cardiff

[tmfsd]

Guerra was my best on the park today, Mantellato not far behind him. Yeah Wales halves were sh1thouse

 

[Springs]

I think Guerra was the difference between the teams. 2 solo tries and another great set-up.

Wales would be a good team if they had better halves. A gutsy effort I thought, Italy just got away in the last 10.

 

[Springs]

Looking forward to this game just as much as the Aus game...I wonder what % of the crowd are Welsh?

There were a fair amount there.

Where is olley olds? Thought this kid was going great guns?

I think he's been injured most of the year.

Enjoyed the game but thought the changeover from the Oz v English game was not well organised from an at the game point of view. Felt that the introduction of that barometer of crowd boredom - the Wave - didn't help either

Lead comm is about 97 and hasn't known what he's talking about for the last decade or so :lol:

Although he's 74, he sure as hell looks 97 from this photo:

Guerra was unstoppable, he's really come on in leaps and bounds this year, wouldn't surprise me if he played origin next year

 

[Tommy Smith]

You'd imagine that he's well and truly overtaken Chris McQueen!

I'm so happy for Guerra. He thought his days were numbered when we signed SBW. And he had to adapt to playing tighter rather than out wide.

But when Cordner went down injured he slotted back in as an edge backrower and has gotten better with every game. He was awesome in the finals series and I hope he continues to grow.

Even when SBW does go, 11. Cordner 12. Guerra would still have to be the best attacking 2nd row in the comp.

Italy by 14. They've got too much class.

Almost got it haha

[Son of Minto]

Another very unflattering pic of Ray French:

:lol:

His bio states that he stopped called the Challenge Cup after 2008. Question: who was that caller for BBC who called the England/Australia 4-nations test at Wigan in 2009? He sounded much better than French. Sounds like French came out of retirement from the Challenge Cup to have one last hurrah covering the World Cup.

Is that after he defects to Australia straight after the WC? ;-)

 

[tmfsd]

Guerra was in the origin emerging squad earlier this year so they are already looking at him

 

[Ari Gold]

If Gower and Campese were in this side then they'd be a threat to the top 3

I couldn't help but notice that the rlwc13 website hasn't included this matches results in the ladder for pools c and d.

These interpool games are worth points in the overall standings correct?
