Fireball07

Shouldn't have been beaten in the air there.

A-Train

Wales held up in the air and he calls ruck

nehe milner skudder

these teams have no idea how to manipulate space. turgid

Mod: Welcome back, and goodbye til tomorrow

dublinman1990

Good start with a great penalty from Ireland.

Wales powering them though which is not good. They are in touching distance of scoring.

Fireball07

What a tackle by Trimble! Try-saver.

sydthebeat

Garces is no where near the tempo of this game yet.... Cop on !

Why kick the ball away Zebo????

I never thought I'd be shouting for Toner to kick the ball

PeterTheEighth

Brave stuff from Trimble and Henshaw.

Neil3030

Zebo is on fire so far.

LuckyGent88

Fairly solid defence and good turnover created.
Pity zebo couldn't get the pass off in the end but good kick to corner

Good kick actually and leads us to getting a line out

d-gal

CJ is an animal!

Dave_The_Sheep

Some game so far, from both sides.

dublinman1990

Oh no. Zebo is in trouble there.

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Zeebs down getting treatment....

A-Train

Great start for Stander, most lads have started well to be fair!

case885

CJ fitting in seamlessly at international level

LuckyGent88

Fairly good tempo to this game. Good play by Ireland and creating the points opportunity.

TeoReid

Wales very strong in defense as usual

Fireball07

6-0 after 13 minutes is not too bad at all.

.ak

We look a little slow after our phase play builds up. How many times did Murray not get a pass away? Letting forwards slowly move the ball. I think we need to punish wales slow scramble defence...

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Biggar's ankle pretty heavily strapped there too.

LuckyGent88

Biggar limping.

Jaysus lads, don't let a ball bounce

kilns

Who is the defence coach for the 6 nations?

Aidric

Trimble in beast mode today.

jprender

Trimble like a rock in defence so far, great stuff

Gidea

We hold ball and man up in the air and the ref calls ruck before it goes to ground >:(

pegasus1

score dog could a a bit bigger like and more central...ffs!

BBDBB

Good aggressive tackling,

Magico Gonzalez

Unlucky mcgrath, nearly a good turnover there...fingertips.

He's playing great so far.

Pink Fairy

Williams is more bandy legged than John Wayne!!

TeoReid

Liam Williams has weird legs

.ak

Trimble absolutely pumped up for this. Can't wait til he gets that inside ball..

TICKLE_ME_ELMO

Williams' leg looks funny, like he's bow legged?

Crimsonforce

Trimble's has hit Roberts and Williams with two monster hits

sydthebeat

Never noticed before how bowed Williams legs are....

Magico Gonzalez

That needs sorting out. Murdered in the scrum.

.ak

Welsh boring in both scrums. Best hopefully points it out.

Boscoirl

Garces wants as little scrums as possible. The choke tackle isn't going to work for us today

Dave_The_Sheep

Biggar looks to be in trouble.

TeoReid

White went backwards badly in that scrum

His knee touched the ground, so ruck is formed

Tin Foil Hat

Biggar can't last more than a few more minutes.

Here goes the disco dance...

I don't think we've legitimately held them up yet and stopped the ball being recycled.

LuckyGent88

Well that is worrying.

kilns

Cant see Biggar lasting

With Anscombe gone, thats serious alarm bells. A 10 cannot play strapped like that.
