We really need to score next now

Joe could change 15 of them at half time and not one of them could have an argument.

Absolutely all over the place, the slump is so drastic you have to worry about WC

awec

This back row of Ireland’s isn’t working.

duskyjoe

no complaints here. Ireland shambolic - Wales have the foot on the gas

Discipline always seems to desert us when he play in Cardiff. Given away 10 pens now. Usually that's two games worth for us.

SlickRic

I find it funny that we get pinged for that sort of offside, considering how 'quickly' Wales get off the line.

sydthebeat

When was the last time we won coming from behind??

We'll need to do something very very rare if we want to win this

Wheres Me Jumper?

oh dear God!

Phases and possession. That has been us for the last 3/4 years. Why on earth would you want the roof open is beyond me

Best coach since the Six Nations started

Did wales not make ground there with catching the kick..why was the advantage continued then? Should have been irrelevant that they went out of play.

Penalty advantage has to be a big play for it to be over.

AbusesToilets

How are we so flat when we play Wales? When it's NZ, we're a bunch of demons, smashing them. This is our worst performance so far, which is saying something.

Aye! but i think we've had 1 eye on winning the WC.
The Welsh have not been so distracted or delusional.

With the Wales play they do have the WC in there eyes

Cypher_sounds

Making bad decisions on a day like this doesn’t bode well. Hopefully we can do something at HT. Need to be more decisive.

is SOB finished at this level?

If we are lucky. Welsh backs generally cut loose in the second half. I'd settle for 20 right now because I'm afraid Wales could easily hit 35-40 points and I can't see us scoring anything.

Ryan has been Ireland's best player.

Gatland isn't responsible for all the errors that would make a junior cup team blush.

Biggar is probably the best player under a high ball in the northern hemisphere. Superb

munsterlegend

Wales are so much more composed. We look like rabbits in headlights since the kick off.

Is a kick forward not a big play? They made a couple of yards off it.

“Aaaaaah” Jamie going along from the ride in comms too.

Can't tell you what he's done

We’ve been dialing it in all tournament, chickens coming home to roost here in first half.

ScrubsfanChris

Whens the last time Ireland scored ZERO in a half of rugby?

Fully deserved by the way

Our back row is anonymous bar when they are knocking on a restart in the Welsh 22. Bring Conan on.

What the **** is going on?

Murray. For Christ's sake.

He's having another stinker.

Both locks the only ones performing

Backrow is non existent so far

Murray...

Going from bad to worse here

Happy4all

Murray FFS!

Snow Garden

Are there any mistakes left to make??

awec

That’s rubbish. Wake up ffs.

Dubinusa

Biggar is some kicker

I wonder what Schmidt is thinking. Would love to be a fly on the wall at halftime.

vienne86

These errors are unacceptable at international level.

No. It is not.

ScrubsfanChris

Just when you think Ireland have played their worst rugby this year,..........

Soups123

Wales really don’t have to do a lot we are doing it all for them

Last Call

If we go behind early we struggle and our record when losing at half time is appalling. We don't have the gameplan to chase a game.

touts

Has there ever been a game where 8 subs came on at half time?

Squidgy Black

Some seriously daft mistakes being made, not switched on at all.

leakyboots

Welsh pressure is superb. That's what's forcing these errors by us. We're completely rattled

I don’t think a couple of yards is a big play??

Mantis Toboggan

Whole team are just flat, has a shade of Kidneys last year in charge.

Good man Conor!
