RLWC2017 - Ireland v. Wales Report : Sun Nov 12, 2017 9:38 am  

RLWC2017 - Ireland v. Wales Report It was the battle of the Celts in the first of a double-header in Perth as John Kears winless Wales came up against Mark Aston's Ireland side in the final game of the World Cup for both sides.   Even though both sides would be going home at the final hooter there was still pride, local bragging rights and future international places to play for. There were plenty of familiar names on show from both Super League and the Championship.   Wales needed a sixty-four point winning margin to finish ahead of the Irish but that looked a very difficult ask against an Irish side who have impressed in their opening two games.

Finn looks right at home as a captain of a World Cup International team.
I liked Ireland in this World Cup.

A good performance from Ireland again and they (Ireland) have plenty of players that have worn the Red, White & Blue.
Grix, Finn, Kay, Mulally, Singleton Amor..
Grix came into the line well for Kay's try and it's great to see our lads going well at the World Cup.

It's a pity that due way the rounds are done that Ireland can win two games and not qualify for the quarter finals

I know it’s barmy. Does the RFL have any input it sounds like something that they would do.

Other Wakefield connections with this game were John Kear and Ben Thaler.

Kyle Amor was unrecognisable without his Dennis the Menace hairstyle.

The format needs looking at with Ireland going home like this. Very tough. Probably the 5th or 6th best side there, Liam Finn has looked fantastic too
