2012 Six Nations - Ireland v Wales

February 5th, 2012 · No Comments

newsfeeds@nzherald.co.nz wrote this article.
This was always going to be the best game of the opening round, and it delivered. Both teams were superb in their intent, and the game’s intensity meant both the Irish and Welsh sides had to at times bring themselves back into it.

Scott “Cote” Bryant and I dial up Gagger who is doing it tough in a winery somewhere on the South Island of Un Zud and have a chat about the upcoming Quarter Finals.

Ferdy says:
Ireland have been my dark horses (as well as my office sweepstake team) for quite some time.  They showed what they can do when they snatched the grand slam away from England earlier this year. They’ve been rugby innovators in 2011 inventing the ‘choke’ tackle.
