Given the game today I tend to think that Piri Weepu will be assigned to fill Carter's role.

But it is definitely a one game at a time proposition.

Brilliant win for a brilliant Ireland team, despite the best efforts of a ropey referee. We could do something amazing here, with plenty of World Class players who know that this is their last chance in RWC.

Bring on the Welsh!

Well they most certainly gave Fiji a lesson beating them 66-nil.And the Welsh side has been strong in all there matches.And even in the Springboks game the Welsh were the better side. And should have won as that penalty was over the post, but its the refs decision at the time,but he should of asked for video playback..

looks like Wales are going to do it - well done. Brilliant play and tactics. I don't know why we (Ireland) were so static. Still some small hope though.

clock ticking down. Wales' defence has been absolutely amazing, but Ireland should have gone for drop goals, would have forced Wales to come out more.

Congratulations to Wales!

Have to agree Steve Wales have played well right though the tournament, and our fellow brother Irish Celts put up a strong game. But we were just too strong for them and with two Welsh kicks hitting the posts.

Last 5 minutes of the game, the French team will have to be very careful in order to hold their lead.

It has been coming for a while, this occasion we were outplayed, there have been other occasions in this world cup where we were second best but came away winners.

If by some fluke we had beaten the French, IMHO we would have lost to Wales, as for the All Blacks or Wallabies.......erm, lets just say, loosing to France is a blessing.

I expected the English to dig deep in the closing stages of the match and pull some rugby magic out of their hat...

Didn't happen

The Tonga, France match last weekend was one of the best I've seen for a while. Just loved watching that hard fought match.

Go the Wallabies tomorrow!. But it probably doesn't hurt to hedge your bets when it comes to going-out-for-a-beer attire after the game at this stage

i am torn as well. the wallabies are my favourites by far but the bokke along with the pumas are very close second.

hope tomorrows games prove to be as entertaining as these two.
