We're counting down the minutes ahead of today's seismic clash between Wales and Ireland at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and we couldn't help but wonder over to Wales Online to gauge the mood there ahead of today. Well it's still one of chest beating fury at Neil Francis' tub of flora jibe at Warren Gatland Gatland and they question the Irish confidence that's they believe is bordering on arrogance:
If you were to believe some of the comments coming out of the Emerald Isle in the past few days, you’d think the match was already in bag.
Ireland’s seamless next step on their Grand Slam march.
Keith Wood and Alan Quinlan draw most of the ire for being confident in an Irish victory:
They are so supremely confident, it’s almost bordered on arrogance.
While he was nervous about the England game, Keith Wood reckons it will be a comfortable Ireland win at the Millennium.
And it's finished with a flourish:
There’s a perfect way to put an end to the Francis-Gatland nonsense this afternoon.
Go out and wipe the Flora with them, Wales.
Lads, Franno is entertaining but no one here actually takes him seriously, so pipe down.
And yeah, we're feeling pretty good about this team.
