Scrum half is a big improvement, the lad on on the first half kept taking steps and crabbing

Hagz

Is McGrath the business or what. He adds so much pace to the game.

Tadgh Beirne on for Qualter

True but Marmion did make a few brilliant breaks around the fringes. Its may be like Boss vs Redden as a distinction, don't know enough about them though to say for sure

Really happy with this so far tbh. Lot to build on, but the essentials are there

Horan disappointing. Better alternatives

I didn't see some of the first half so I might be doing the 9 a disservice. But comparing passes alone, McGrath seems like a much tidier player.

JJ shipped another knock there

cork exile in london

awful scrummaging from irish underage teams again. will be murdered by england again as per normal. sick of this constant pain in the hole problem

Hagz

"in green"
9 puts it in
*whistle
"put it in quicker"
WTF

CIARAN_BOYLE

McGrath penalised at scrujmtime for putting ball in the scrum slowly

Cawley on the ground hit the ground so hard his head bounced, substituted straight back off

Wales penalty outside the 22

You are right McGrath is a faster passer imo

Poor tackling echnique sees the sub Coughlan (?) get steamrolled by the Wales 1. Looks serious enough

They've been dominant all night....

But yeh, they'll be killed against France and England.

wales 6 ireland 5. throwing this away

Great restart, Henderson gathers, Welsh hands in ruck. Jackson has chance of penalty half between 22 and 10m line. He hooks it left

CIARAN_BOYLE

Irish penalty 20 meters out pretty central

Looks like we going for the posts, Jackson still kicking

5-6 still Jackson missed, Hanrahan or McGrath should kick instead

Fireball07

Jackson misses the penalty. Terrible kick.

cork exile in london

awful miss again from wacko

porterbelly

That's incredibly poor again from Jackson

Come off it

CIARAN_BOYLE

Jackson drop at goal 8-6 now

Fireball07

Got the drop goal! Well done Jackson

leakyboots

Jackson makes amends for his 4 missed kicks with a drop. Layden the fullback made the initial break

A-Train

Jackson had some terrible kicks but did well for the drop!

cork exile in london

motm wacko jacko

Fireball07

Hanrahan and Layden really do have a great thing going, linking up together really well.


Fantastic kick from Jackson.

CIARAN_BOYLE

Wonderfull kick in behind the Welsh players by Jackson Welsh LO on the 22

leakyboots

Wow!! McGrath with a drop from nowhere! Wales fullback kicked the ball of his own man, McGrath gathered just outside the 22, spun and kicked a sweet one through the posts

11-6, 7 mins left

CIARAN_BOYLE

wonderful clearing kick from Layden Welsh lineout on the 5m line

molloyjh

What a kick from Leydon.

Fireball07

McGrath's drop goal was class. Brilliant kick from Laydon too.

CIARAN_BOYLE

Welsh scrum inside their 22 after a McGrath forward pass

Fireball07

Layden man of the match. I agree with that.
