Ireland will win this
I am Mystic Meg, thank you and good night!
Woo hoo!
Jo jo jo jo jo! 😀
Always rated Roberts! 😆
Only worry now is that Scotland have an extra incentive to hand us our arses on a plate tomorrow.
Good win Wales - and deserved it for taking their chances. Ireland looked pretty toothless in the second half
Well played Wales. Ireland's lack of accuracy cost them
The difference between the teams is George North in the first half. Man of the match with ease.
[s]dave[/s] Johnny Sexton.
Zebo has been awful!!!!
Well done Wales, England in pole position for the title now.
Nice for Roberts a great player who this may be the end for...
Guess this gives Gatland the excuse he needs to pick Wales enmasse for the Lions, after all Wales have beaten Ireland who beat the AB's a few months ago... 😆
Well played Wales. Ireland's lack of accuracy cost them
Not Wales' superior play?
Would sir like some sugar?
😆
Gutted for Tommy Bowe....fine player, hasn't really had an injury free period for 5 years now.
Astonishing result. Fantastic stuff!
Good game
What a fantastic game of rugby. Every inch contested. Despite possession, Ireland ultimately had no penetration, and that cost them dearly.
Earls hasn't been mentioned much, I thought he looked the only threatening player in what looked a fairly toothless team (aside from Stander who was faultless). Moriarty, North and Tips had good games, otherwise a solid team effort from Wales.
*controversy* I think Jackson is better than Sexton.
Credit to both sides for a great game with no shittyness.

Beautiful and brutal game of rugby there, that's some lions team and you've got England and Scotland to add to it
#CymruAmByth
Amen
Really enjoyed that! I bet Best doesn't buy Henshaw a pint tonight! turned a definite Ireland try into a welsh pen!
Really enjoyed that as a neutral.
Both teams went at each other hammer and tongs but Ireland looked pretty toothless in attack which surprised me. Only Earls seemed to offer much threat.
Wales took their chances well and with a bit more off a cutting edge should have scored a few more tries.
Irish lineout wobbled again. Hooker looks like a problem position for the Lions.
Quality match. Ireland seemed to run out of puff and ideas. Hopefully they'll be as poor next week.
Hooker looks like a problem position for the Lions.
WILDCARD! I loves me a wildcard!!!!
What a bloody great test match!
Barnes was excellent. I hate myself for saying that.
Defensive power from both teams was huge.
Henshaw is a burk.
Bloody hell, that was brutal. Brilliant.
Don't think the hooker was the problem it was good Wales defence. Best was 22 from 22 last time out
Superb test match .
Well played Wales .
England and Scotland are going to have to go some to beat that spectacle .
Fantastic game 🙂 Wales finally got it together. Sides evenly matched physically, both forced to be creative, Wales finally managed to out think an opponent!
England and Scotland are going to have to go some to beat that spectacle .
With O'Teo at 12, I wouldn't be expecting any champagne rugby from England!!!
Don't see a problem at hooker myself....Jamie George is by far the best!
Well, if scotland come to play it could be a fascinating day tomorrow.
Just finished after delay! Great fun tha and well played Wales. Great to be neutral watching it, although pleased with result.
Shocking THM kiss of death Henshaw!!!! 😉
Irish line out mistakes really cost them, but the better team won.
Not sure about MoM
Was Stander injured or just out of puff? Why take your best player of the field?
Shame to see Tommy Bowe going off, but lovely to see him still smiling. Such a great man of the game.
Ken Owens has been consistent throughout the tournament, he just enhanced his credentials today.
Ireland will be gutted but there's no shame in losing a game of that quality, it was one (correct) penalty call from going the other way.
I think that was wistful - end of Lions hopes & end of career.
I also thought Barnes reffed it well.
Has someone seriously just mentioned Owens in the context of the B&I lions?!?!?! 😯
If he's a serious option, we're f***ed.
Do you watch much rugby?
I do. owens is shit.
He was okay today.....regardless of however many Martyn Williams red button forum comments get posted on here, it'll be a surprise if he's in the squad.
Well shit is harsh, fair enough, but he's not as good as best, Hartley or George. Hell, his darts might be better than Hibbards, but he's far less effective around the field.
Another random thought/stat from today......George North (great to see him back in form) has 70 international caps now and 30 tries.....he's 24 😯
I do. owens is shit.You've just proved you don't understand it then.
If Ken Owens isn't in the lions squad, apart from injury, a tenner to the charity of your choice. Care to reciprocate?
wrecker - MemberI do. owens is shit.
This is why I prefer the rugby threads over the footy ones. More class here.
Shame to see Tommy Bowe going off, but lovely to see him still smiling. Such a great man of the game.
Yeah, that was cruel. Tommy bowe out for the long term too
This is why I prefer the rugby threads over the footy ones. More class here.
I doubt you'll be missed if you want to switch!
More class here.
Thanks for your kind words 8)
Tom B yes indeed, was watching the game thinking its good to see him back at a similar level to when he was 19 😯
