I think France will win it by the way.

Allez le bleu jobs

I'm one of those "boyo's type"
and i've been asked this before , there is a youtube version with phoenetic subtitles for you to practice here:
YouTube - The World Cup is coming, learn the Welsh National Anthem

wikipedia have a page with the Welsh lyrics , a translation and a paraody which I found amusing
Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What really bugs me is that the majority of the Welsh football team don't attempt to sing "their" national anthem , but it is the opposite for the rugby team .

Just to confirm what you posted onedunme ,my money is on France to win this world cup , home advantage is a massive help.

as an accy thats a bit dodgy IMO especialy the french section. Whilst the French are a strong team they have a very tough group with Argentina and Ireland in Group D. Having said that my first bet on the tournament is france -11 against Argentina at 10/11 i know Argentina have won 4 of the last 5 against France but Argentina were particulary poor against Wales in the first half and they could get blown away.

where did you get the -10 deck ?

I fancy France to come out of the blocks as well and to beat the (-12) handicap but the (-10) is a temptner just as well

So we heard Keggers as the misses told us, don't know if you watched the game but it was a pretty placid affair and the argies were worth the points come the end of the match, exactly how good is hard to judge but it was hell of a victory considering it was a fullhouse on the host's own soil.

On that form a semi final place is not out of the question now they should top the group allthough Ireland may have a final say in the matter.


It was a good start to the comp none the less abeit it being a bit of a tame affair considering the French were involved, lets hope its a springboard for things to come.

Argentina , France and Ireland will be going all out to score as many points against the minnows as this group may go to points difference

Can't see where Italy points are going to come from v NZ. Italy are putting out a stronger side than I expected, but it should still be one way traffic.

It's 15pts a try, 5pts for any successful kick, but -5 for a missed penalty, drop goal. -5 yellow; -15 red.

SELL Italy performance @ 20 at 2pts

Am a big Italy fan and expect to see them in quarters (ie beat Scotland) but surely this is just injury avoidance time for a talent shallow squad.

The spread firms have Aus 78-81 favs over Japan but on betfair aus -76.5 points is 2.38 so one is wrong. Which one though I don't know.

I'll try a small sell of Aus at 78 on IGsport.
