Ireland v Wales. Sat 24th Feb, 14:15 RTÉ2

Bundee got it yeah.

Well the poster is usually a poster of few words but my take on that post is they're unhappy with our cards as much as Wales not getting one

We didn't really. We'll win all five games.

Sloppy enough game but nice to get the bonus point

At the stage a BP win is only acceptable

Weird game. Felt like we were close to putting 50 on them. It actually sums up the 6 nations so far for us. We haven't had to be anything more than good. We are just very well structured and that's enough at the moment.

I think the England game will be close.

didn't think they would get the BP 12 mins out but fair play , got the job done.

Of course we can enjoy winning. But when you say "these teams", we are talking here about playing at home against a very callow Welsh team who are at the beginning of a rebuilding cycle. I would argue that there there is nothing bizarre about highlighting the shortcomings and deficiencies of the teams performance. If we aspire to be the best team, we should be comparing ourselves to those teams. Ask yourself what would New Zealand or South Africa do to that Welsh team if they were playing them at home. And the answer is they would have CRUSHED that Welsh team. The scoreboard was kind to us at the end and I am delighted at the result, but don't forget we were one try saving tackle away from being only 3 points ahead with about 15 minutes to go. The ref is always a debate, but the fact is we really made that hard for ourselves in a way that better teams would exploit. I actually think Gatland will be pretty happy with that.

Jager had a very nice cameo. Some strong hits in defence close to our line and some good ruck work. No obvious scrum deficiencies.

Baird and Kelleher were really strong in attack too.

+1 Great little Cameo !!

Kicked well enough??? 100% from the tee. Offers little going forward??? Are you taking the p*ss???

The first half was very impressive. I can't remember an Irish side ever being so physically dominant. We bullied Wales in contact on both sides of the ball. They had only conceded 9 penalties across their opening two fixtures, but were already into double figures before the first half even ended. That's how dominant we were.

Gatland is a very wily coach and will always find ways to stifle the opposition. That's what happened in the third quarter until the Irish bench came on. Thought Kelleher and Baird made a big difference in their cameos. Some very powerful and dynamic contributions. That Wales side is years behind in their strength and conditioning and it showed.

Wales have issues in attack. I've yet to see them show much in terms of attacking patterns. Too much if their game revolved around getting the ball quickly to North and hoping he could do something special.

Today was the last game of Green vs Red or vice versa. You can blame the color blind brigade!!

I was thinking the same against Italy, a very dominant display like today but NZ would be piling on against teams they’ve got so many advantages against. Not sure about SA. But massive scores aren’t really Irelands game, we play a structured attack and sure we score on counter attack but most of our points come from structured play off set piece. And we are insanely miserly in defence. NZ run in tries from everywhere, Ireland score those tries, just not very often.
