Ireland Under 20 2019 6 Nations and World Championships

clsmooth

Well taken by them. Wren came up for man and ball and didn’t get it

Squidgy Black

That was outstanding from the Welsh winger, whatever about Ireland's defence but the step and the subsequent offload were sublime.

clsmooth

Our lineout is in trouble

FrancieBrady

Need to settle. Very nervy mistakes.

Squidgy Black

Harsh call, but given the question asked by the ref it'd be hard to give it if I was the tmo.

baas baa

Sloppy from the ref for the Penny non try, he should've gotten into a better position to see the grounding.

AdamD

Getting ridden by the ref here

FrancieBrady

Frustrating stuff. Hope it isn't one of those nights.

Kanrith

Don't know where the knock on was there.

baas baa

That's a really silly scrum penalty, That's 2 easy exits they've given Wales deep in their territory.

Squidgy Black

The PA announcer is trying to run a panto show. Asking the crowd if they think it's a try :rolleyes:

The Lost Sheep

10-0 Wales now. need to really lift it before end of half

baas baa

This Welsh side looks comfortable defending, hopefully we don't start to try forcing things.

FrancieBrady

It's going pearshaped here. They need to keep ball in hand for a while and get some cohesion going.

Utopia Parkway

U-20's been poor so far. Maybe suffering a bit from having the first choice 9, 10 and 12 now missing. Should be better though. This isn't a great Welsh side.

Squidgy Black

We're really missing Byrne out there. Healy seems a bit jittery and his kicks aren't on the mark.

bilston

His foot touched the dead ball line

Edit - I retract that post. It didn't

The Lost Sheep

Great score. wren gets the score but keornahan and penny did excellently in build up

FrancieBrady

That was class. More of that pleassssssseee!

baas baa

Wow, huge score out of nothing. Completely changes complexion of the game. Penny is going to be the main man this evening.

ClanofLams

Kernohan and Penny did great there. Huge to go in only three down given how poor Ireland have been

Squidgy Black

Scott Penny is something else. Superb break from Kernohan as well.

ScrubsfanChris

Ireland sprinting to the changing rooms, Wales walking........

baas baa

I thought at the time there was a double knock on back in the Irish 22 but no replay to confirm.

I assumed it was on IRFU YT page for some reason. Just copped there as I typed the post. Chaws bai.

Kernahan was electric there. Penny has been very good. Lovely step by Wren for the try

Akrasia

On first view, I thought Wren had touched the deadball line in the ingoal area before touching the ball but actually on replay, it looks ok to me.

baas baa

What is EOS on about, nowhere near the deadball line, then they show all the replays and don't even address the fact he was wrong.

clsmooth

On BBC iPlayer if you’re in UK. Just go to live S4C

Squidgy Black

Another dire kick from hand. We really need to cut out the mistakes.

RTE Player working a treat

The Lost Sheep

excellent from Dylan but was he onside?

Squidgy Black

Did the ref not call a maul?

I think even the TMO was trying to get him to change his mind on that.

FrancieBrady

Great ref!

Thrashssacre

Interesting interpretation from the ref there but I’ll take it.

ClanofLams

Welsh 15 has some boot

baas baa

That was immense from Penny, made a big hit and whipped the ball away like a flash.

FrancieBrady

Beautiful

The Lost Sheep

Great score Ireland!!

FrancieBrady

Fair cop!

Squidgy Black

Ah shíte.

ScrubsfanChris

Clear forward pass, took the officials long enough

The Lost Sheep

****e forward pass would have been some breathing space

The Lost Sheep

Good score from Welsh converted. now 3 behind. 20 to go

A-Train

Ireland haven’t been good at all since they scored the 2nd try.

Cosmo Kramer

I don't want to be harsh on young, non professional players, but I have seen very few poorer performances at stand off than that one tonight from our 10.

Buer

Wales are attacking every ruck. Us going into contact at first receiver is incredibly naive. Playing into their hands.

Akrasia

We've crossed the line 5 times already. Just need the next one to stick

Haven't been good all game apart from a couple of breaks for the tries. General open-field play has been fairly poor, Healy's not had a great day kicking from hand and Foley hasn't held a spark to Casey at all.
