Should have been a penalty there anyway. Second movement to crawl to the line after Ringrose tackle.

He clearly had momentum.

Mcgrath did his cause no favours there!

Ringrose not great again since he came on. Some missed tackles.

Luke McGrath was great there - for a small guy he seems very strong.

Redemption for Mcgrath. Fair play.

That was brilliant from Ringrose and McGrath

The fickle nature of match threads in a few minutes.

Take man or ball. Or both.

He didn't. He propelled himself forward.

Aki knows.

razorblunt

Fawk sake.

PinaKolada

Jumped into the tackle. Nothing Aki could do.

He held his line and got his man, who threw a suspected forward pass because of the pressure put on him.

Kearney is nowhere near at fault for that try. It’s the same bull**** aimed at the same players all the f*cking time.

What can Aki do there?

vienne86

Fair enough.

Not tackle him?

It’s pretty clearly a penalty

Former Former

Right call

reg114

Can we? YES... is it ? ... YES

You should not get an advantage cause your mate threw a crap pass

Sephiral

Correct call. I thought he knocked it on before Aki tackled him tho.

Squidgy Black

Fair call. Not much Aki could do about it really as he had committed.

Faugheen

It is a penalty. There’s not much Aki can do in that but a penalty nonetheless.

What did Poite say?

PinaKolada

Bull**** call. No need to jump for a shoulder height pass. Poite is too easily fooled.

Bridge93

We’ve been abysmal since we scored. Thrown the top ranking away.

It is a pen but I never understand it. Fair enough for a kick, but you jump for a thrown pass you should be allowed to be hit.

You can't jump into a tackle without the ball. The decision was both jumped for the ball with Ali making a tackle while doing so, hence only a penalty

Who cares? Would just give people something else to moan about.

Who cares about the ranking? The team is struggling to put performances together, means nothing.

And no way would we deserve it or be able to handle the pressure of it. So really hope we dont get it

So luke mcgrath misses a tackle that costs us a try, minutes later he makes a brilliant try saving tackle. People comment on both... Perhaps look up the definition of "fickle"!

Well it’s more the fact that it means we’ve imploded again. 19 up against 14 men and we’ve been totally outplayed

Stop moaning ffs

Score aside I wish ireland could find this level of heart and concentration in the second half. Wales own this. We can’t it seems.

razorblunt

Look at Ball take Toner out as the pillar by the posts.

vienne86

Patchell has made a massive difference.....and now the try.

Movementarian

Rory best comes on and our game goes to ****

Regressed hugely since the subs

if we lose this ... it'll be some disgrace

CptMackey

Second half has been poor for ireland.

In fairness to Wales, they really stepped up after half time.

Happy4all

2nd half appears to be wiping out any restored confidence

LuckyGent88

This is another very worrying second half performance against a complete second team from Wales.

We haven’t had possession apart from that 5 minutes of scrums and never had any sustained pressure in attack through moves from our backs.

That guy Patchell has really turned this game on its head

Perhaps don't be taking personal offence to a post with several users posts quoted showing how quick opinions were changing. If anything Carry was more responsible.

The subs, in the majority being the first choice too.
An absolute clusterfûck of a situation

Terrible second half from Ireland. On the ropes here

Wales were probably always going to improve though.....playing at home and on a long unbeaten home run

Best has won two turnovers since coming in.

Much bigger issues in this game. Where is Tadhg Beirne for example?
