Wales seem to have run out of ideas. But at least they have some points at long last.

What worries me is that I can’t see Wales coming back from this. I am having slight deja vu from last year 😥

If you were a newbie to watching rugby – how would the constant scrum penalties appear? Doesn’t make for a good spectacle.

I will concede that Sexton is MUCH better than Preistland!

Happy now AA!!! Swings and roundabouts…..

Priestland is no way the problem, the other option is hook and he certainly isnt the answer

I’m not sure Wales have an answer no matter who they substitute!!

Wales were shit. Ireland weren’t.

That’s all there is to say, really.

indeed

Time to crack open the beer.

Wales playing like England 🙂

That was a thrashing!

I thought Spikey was one of wales only reasonable players, any momentum came through him.
Well played Ireland

Ireland were very good. Every single player dominated his opposite number in a red shirt. Schmit got the tactics spot on and Ireland were better in every single aspect of the game.

Wales were poor and maybe all the talk of grudges in the build up showed in their cynical petulant approach.

some good kicks from hand and did well with the shite he was served up. It was lost in the lineout and the huge amount of ball wales dropped. The ref wasnt exactly helpful either.

26 is close enough to 30 for me. Sure it wasn’t pretty but as a prop the sight of a 20 metre maul does the heart good. And sure our centres are past it. 😉

so next up France… great

depresing thing is the pack cannot really change, bring in Tipuric for Lydiate and pray

they are, with all that ball they created nothing, take nothing away from a great win but its going to be a big issue going forward. Did Darcy or Bod make a break?

you can have as many plans as you like but if you lose lineouts, drop balls and give away pens every 2 mins its unlikely to make a difference. On the few occasions wales kept hold of the ball and didnt turn over or drop the ball they looked quite good.
Ian Evans presence in the middle of the lineout and in the mauls was missed the big daft ****. Coombs is a part time 5 or 6 and too lightweight.

which was pretty much his only contribution, Darcy was tidy but nothing great

Please define “few”. I don’t remember more than 2 significant (ground-gaining) multi-phase possessions by Wales, and they ended in error and infringement.
