Wales v Ireland match thread

kilns

Shocking from Murray

griffinlee

i'd move O'Mahony to 7, beirne to 6 and bring on roux for his bulk and haul obrien off

razorblunt

2 mins before half time and Murray does that?

BBDBB

A dreadful first half, too many errors, inaccuracy and poor execution across the field

I wonder if that All Black offer is still on the table....

Never seen us this bad in a long time.

Wales are controlling the referee here

Doctor Jimbob

This is utter dung.

Joe must go before the world cup for us to have a chance

This roof thing is nonsense. Same for both teams. It’s an outdoor sport and 99.99% of stadiums don’t have a roof. Wish the commentators would shut up going on about it.

Ahh this is just bordering on embarrassing now... feel like turning it off at this point.

Absolute horror show from Ireland, the worst this 6 nations. This team is unrecognisable from 2018.

Mantis Toboggan

Healy has been really poor.

Murray. For Christ's sake.

He's having another stinker.

I think this is just him now.

Roux to the backrow?

Can I have what you're smoking. I may at least be able to have a laugh at this game.

Wales are controlling the Match...NO EXCUSES

The end of another era. Scmidths taken us as far as he can. It's been some ride Joe, thanks for the memories.

They're controlling the game.

Sexton should be sent off for telling the ref to fcuk off there.

Jonathan Sexton is an angry angry man.

adox

Lack of discipline and continuos basic errors have killed this Irish team.

Edit. And another peno given away.

Line out tactics is bizarre as well.

munsterlegend

Ref never overturns earlier knock on call on Welsh line!!

Burkie1203

Tipuric interfering with Healy bind there tho

Last Call

Embarrassing that we demanded the roof be open when WE are the ones that can't handle the slippy ball.

This is a grim watch.

Anyone want 4 1/4 final tickets?

kilns

Wales getting a lot of calls in their favor but no excuses

Wheres Me Jumper?

The Welsh have been so up for this from the whistle. We are not at the races.
or maybe we should be at the races.:(

I'm watching this having had a drink or two and I'm quite annoyed at how we're going but our backrow seems totally AWOL.

This penalty is going to take it beyond any score we can recover, the game is over. Need to have a serious look at a few of the untouchables.

awec

Sexton should probably avoid the little strops and tantrums when he’s playing like a drain.

who said roux to backrow?

Zzippy

Sexton showing his petulance again. Poor show. Let's see some leadership Johnny, not the bold child.

razorblunt

Far too players off form all tournament.

Sexton
Murray
Kearney
POM
SOB
Best
Stander

All stalwarts though. Undroppable.

If it wasn't so wet there be some chance of a comeback but there isn't a hope now.

Sephiral

Second row is too light. Both great players individually, but not enough bulk. Means Wales are getting shove on every scrum and we are struggling in the tight exchanges. Badly missing Henderson or Toner.

Everyone besides Beirne is having a mare.

Beirne has given away two stupid penalties which cancels out that one steal he's gotten so far.

Ryan is the only Irish player who can hold his head up. Earls hasn't had much time to anything so it would be harsh to say he's playing poorly too. I would have said Stander too only for that silly penalty.

facehugger99

Considering the 8 penalties and huge amount of handling errors, we're lucky to be only 16 down.

There'll be plenty of Scots and Japanese confidently looking for them after this.

leakyboots

16-0 is about right at half time. In danger of an absolute tonking unless we come out all guns blazing in the second half

munsterlegend

Beirne in the scrum is adding nothing I think.

kilns

Ireland nearly matching their six nations penalty total in one game alone, what has happened to them as this is not like an amazing welsh team

ScrubsfanChris

Wales about to win the easiest grand slam in six nations history.

Ireland have never come from more than 8 points behind against Wales? Crazy stat.

Yes, he's been ****e himself for pretty much this entire tournament.

CptMackey

Very poor game. Can't blame the red really

baas baa

I'm embarassed by how little we're making Wales work for this. The team needs a fresh injection of energy. Time for Best to make way I think.
