Very disappointed with Wales so far, just not in the game at all. Sexton running the show
It's been a poor first half not helped by the ref. Wales have been very negative and Ireland have bossed the breakdown. Let's hope for a better second half. Scot Williams will be cited as well
So far the worst I've seen from Wales for a long time. Time to take Gethin, Lydiate and Priestland off.
I hope (as a neutral) that Wales have a big first 10m in 2h. Not living up to expectations so far. Fingers crossed.
Scot Williams will be cited as well
BOD COULD HAVE DIED!!!!
Bollocks nothing in it.
Jaunking.. Priestland has done well with what he's had IMO. No lineout and scrums negated means no posession
Wales have been utter dross so far. It can only get better, surely....
But I don't think it will.
its like the old days watching wales without a lineout falling apart
Wales will get back into this - Ireland can't keep this going for 80 mins and Wales will find an answer soon.
Phillips chucking toys now...
You have to love POM - imagine him in a classroom!!!!
to be fair other than high kicks and mauls ireland are doing nothing
??? 😉 (scarlet-tinted specs)
If I was irish I'd want to be out of sight and over the hill by now with all the possession
Healy just punched sam....cite him
Possibly true, but not exactly doing nothing!! Anyway, here you go.....
Wales seem to have run out of ideas. But at least they have some points at long last.
**** me how was that a pen ireland?
What worries me is that I can't see Wales coming back from this. I am having slight deja vu from last year 😥
kock on by ireland wales adv over straight away when not even over the gainline then wales knock on and ireland kick it out but this time adv not over
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!
Need to get hook on priestland throwing away the chances and the game needs a change
Happy now AA!!! Swings and roundabouts.....
As I said earlier Priestland needs to come off, what he's doing isn't working. Hook on quick
Priestland is no way the problem, the other option is hook and he certainly isnt the answer
beard alert 😀
I'm not sure Wales have an answer no matter who they substitute!!
Sexton. Top player today.
Wales were shit. Ireland weren't.
That's all there is to say, really.
POM is going to cry if Spikey pushes him again I think.
Wales were shit. Ireland weren't.That's all there is to say, really.
indeed
Why? He's played very well, spikey hasn't (and I am normally a spikey fan).
And now spikey being a fool!! as butler said, "it's too late"
Time to crack open the beer.
Can't argue with CFH in his analysis of a tired uninspiring Welsh team. Much as it grieves me to write that!!
Wales playing like England 🙂
Oh FFS well done Ireland that is a spanking, was Priestland as useless as I have heard.
That was a thrashing!
Well played Ireland.
I thought Spikey was one of wales only reasonable players, any momentum came through him.
Well played Ireland
Yep, well played Ireland. Wales were just woeful.
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.

a good team would have put at least 30-40 on wales today, Ireland had nothing behind the magnificent front 10.
was Priestland as useless as I have heard.
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.
Scoreline flattered Wales tbh.
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. 😉
DD 😉
The "little man" Darcy was the best centre on the field today.
Outside 10, only Cuthbert stood man2man. 1/2p was ok and v good under the ball as always, but Kearney outshone him too.
