Match Thread: Ireland v Wales [2.30pm 29/08/15 Aviva Stadium] Guinness Series

Tipuric is having an incredible game. He's not going to make the Welsh side either.

Tipuric giving a masterclass today

If he was horizontal before he had the ball it would have been illegal. He's gotten a few breakdown calls wrong but that has a clean steal from Tipuric.

Maybe so, but that will have been the exception rather than the rule today.

That is absolutely brilliant from Tipuric

corny

It was stolen not lost forward surely.

How is that a knock on?

Knock on?

What the?

It was... But I'd question if he's on his feet there

Webb straight into the row and Barnes just looking at it.

RuggieBear

Don't think he was supporting his own weight though.

Dave Kearney is being fairly industrious today.

He was clearly on his feet when the ball was stripped.

There scrum penalties are bollox.

thomond2006

It's a very frustrating half so far. A lot of huffing and puffing with no points.

It wasn't. But the only reason it went upstairs was because Joubert didn't trust Barnes who made a very definite call.

He's had quite a good game imo.

Never hurry a Murray...

*mutes*

Furlong on for his debut, congrats to him.

RK turned his back on Roberts there in that last phase

Buer

The back three debate is completely open again. Will be fascinating to see who is selected.

fitz

Jesus. Kearney on his feet, hands on the ball for two seconds, no penalty.

Squidgy Black

Hilarious shout there from Joubert, SOB off his feet.

leakyboots

Earls tackling like a demon this half

NiallBoo

Very strange TMO call there,

It was either held up (because that happened first)

or it was picked up by Tipiric who was then bundled into touch.

Either way it should have been an Irish ball.

total former

Dave Kearney is on the plane.

molloyjh

Dave Kearney has had a fine game.

molloyjh

If his neck is at shoulder height then fair enough but that was nonsense.

Dave_The_Sheep

TMO getting in on the strange calls as well...

.ak

Shocking day from the officials

aimee1

thats bull.

fitz

Bullsh*t call.

irishbucsfan

Luke Pearce calling that to score brownie points with Jutge

RuggieBear

bit soft but safety first i suppose.

Squidgy Black

Welsh line out throws are nowhere near straight.

molloyjh

Earls hurt after that excellent tackle.....

A-Train

Earls looks bad

leakyboots

Earls looked goosed there

RuggieBear

**** earls down

molloyjh

Head injury. Oh no....

Wang King

Earls out cold?

leakyboots

Still not moving

****e, "nasty head injury" for Earls, not looking good.

RuggieBear

ffs joubert. you had a serious head injutry and you played on.

and then then you got the ****ing call wrong

B0X

What the **** is going on with the breakdown? Joubert is ****ing awful.

.ak

Sob has been told to release and not compete twice, in a better position than tipuric was.

total former

Fuuuuck

Couldn't give a shyte about result, no injuries is all we want.
