Ireland are massive favourites but as a welsh fan i steal fuel we can Nick this especially due to the Warren garland + millennium stadium factors

@@ghostguin1398 you lost to Ireland and you haven't done anything in forever to prove you can "nick" anything rugby related.
As a welsh fan one of my favourite memories. Also the class of the Irish after the game wishing wales good luck in the semi. What else do you expect from the greatest centre ever mr o driscoll
After watching game today Ireland showing they are world no. 1 . Too good today we'll played
Gutted as Irish fan that day but Wales too good probably have went all the way if not for red in the semi
It's a genuine shame o driscoll doesn't have much to show from his incredible tenure. He deserved so much more.
@@rhyswilliams4893 he won plenty at club level Heineken cups an Celtic leagues and grand slam and triple crowns. Gareth Edwards never won a world cup either
@@maureenthomas9758 tbf the World cup didn't exist when Gareth Edwards played.
Was in the stand that day. Vastly outnumbered by Irish fans, it was a good day to be in red, even as a Kiwi with a Welsh wife.
As an Irishman I will always remember this WC as being imho Irelands best chance at reaching a WC final and perhaps winning it, but I can only give credit to an inspired Welsh performance who thoroughly deserved this win.
Thing is, the French were a beatable side for a semifinals without a head coach having revolted against Lievremont and NZ proved to really struggle in the WC final without Dan Carter, seemingly unable to replace him with a player that could even kick a few penalties so... ya, about as good as it gets for what was a really strong Irish team that was fresh, injury-free, confidant and buzzing with positivity after a dominant win of their pool stages in which they deservedly beat Australia.
The Irish camp was happy, I think Leinster and Munster player had put aside any old grudges, they played great in the pool stages as mentioned and Irish sides had generally performed well against Welsh sides at club and international levels so we dared believe that this was the year when Irish rugby would go a bit further than any Irish side had gone before at a WC, but like I said, grats to Wales, they really deserved it and can themselves be kicking themselves at not beating France and having a great chance at winning the WC. Such is sport.
Make more of these classic highlights videos great to watch
This Welsh team was incredible. If only Warburton wasn't red carded in the semi-final.
Yeah I'm sure they would have beaten New Zealand in New Zealand for the first time ever lol.
@@redplaguewe’ve beaten New Zealand before, even one of our regions has
@@cynanyt1417 Not in New Zealand they haven't. Only three matches won by Wales and they were all in Wales. Last one wasn't since 1953 as well so it's nothing to brag about.
@@cynanyt1417 The last time Wales beat New Zealand, Neil Armstrong hadn't walked on the moon yet. They've never come close in the actual pro era.
Possibly the best team that Wales has ever put on the field. So many top class performances from 1 to 15. Priestland's best game for Wales ever imo.. JD ad JR made Od look quite flat.
A Wales v NZ final would have been awesome.
Looking back, it's so sad that O'Callaghan played on after that contact with Roberts in the opening minutes. Now he'd be immediately removed for a HIA, he was messed up.
Roberts and davies centre partnership was immense in this world cup
Now thats my country
That take by Roberts just set the tone for that whole game. Then Halfpenny winning the box kick at the start of the second half. Maybe Wales wanted it that bit more that day. They Looked fitter, and Ireland looked a little disorganised or unsure defensively in the second half.
Still players playing for wales now from this team.
Ireland are the most consistent team in the history of the World Cup - always knocked out in the quarters.
now the roles have changed now wales are the really old team now and ireland is the more youthful side bar sexton of course.
Wales only have Biggar, North, Falatau, Lydiate and halfpenny the rest are pretty youthful so unfortunately that isn’t the case anymore 😉
@LERJ_Gaming We have some good new talent, but it will be a while before the squad is strong enough to be winning six nations titles
Priestland always got Wales on the front foot. Great player.
Despite Craig Joubert's best efforts, Wales win the match.
Christ that Davies try
GG Ireland. Regards from Poland
Here is leigh halfpenny for his long kick between the posts from long distance.
Ireland winning knock out games at a world cup 😂.
They thought this game would be easy after beating Australia in the pool stages
J Davies run through 5 players Wow!
foxy a hard man to get down
That is definitely a try for shane williams against ireland.
there seemed to be a lot of Irish lads playing in the team back then ?
what year was this
2011
What I wouldn’t give for a roberts Davies centre partnership again .. this was another game that wales yet again by the so called rugby pundits were not given much of a chance to win. Being written off Is just how wales likes it👍
Brillant some scarlets players
Craig joubert worst referee of all time
Cymru!!
When Connor Murray had hair
Take note Ireland we meet you at the semis your knocked again by wales, but don't think you'll get past new zealand lol
Lmao what a joke
There's only one eye in Irish.@@randomuruk7230
The Irish defence was pretty shite
Cant stomach looking at Joubert considering what he did to Scotland in 2015
Aus were the better side
Given what he did to France in final at RWC 2011 I'd say 2015 pales into insignificance!!
Alain rolland 🇫🇷
Painful to watch
Awful editing - Showed Wales as being the totally dominant side, which they weren’t.
Irish defence fkn sucked, the entire reason they lost. Have a cry, at least ireland beat Wales in 6N
@@bumwees2865 Wales cant even beat Italy now
My memory of the game (which I've tried + failed to erase) is that Wales deserved it all the way - Ireland could have no complaints.
They were if memory serves me right, Ireland were a disgrace....and even more disgraceful 4 years later
Your quite right ireland had more territory and possession but that welsh defence was very good in that world cup conceded very few tries. Even when France beat them in the semis they were tryless
lydiate didnt let anything move that day, chopped them as soon as the got the ball
What year was this
