Really sloppy lineout defence and Heaslip missed a bad tackle on North there after the initial effort had been repelled.
Donāt think you can be giving a try there. Did enough to hold him up or at least prevent a clear grounding.
Great snippets of defence there. Trimble made a great stop in Philips.
Ryle and Ralph not up to date on the rules.
Got away with that last five minutes anyway thankfully.
Gola what did Ryle Nugent say at the start?
More poor defence. Outnumbered on the short side and neither Bowe nor Ross put in the required hit on Priestland.
Phillips was able to jog 15 metres there after the scrum without being touched. Other than the resolute play on the line earlier, the Irish tackling and defensive alignment is really soft.
Very stale showing thus far from us.
That was some catch from Kearney.
Well done Rob Kearney.
Canāt understand the lack of pressure on Phillips. Heās key to how they play the game but heās getting an armchair ride here and is taking all the time he needs on the ball. Ireland need to start hitting him, even if itās borderline late.
Any chance we could try put a few phases together? Yknow, just for the craic like?
No way Ireland deserve to be in front but couple of encouraging moments there. Think weāve been competitive on the ground and from lineouts obviously but would still prefer a much more aggressive defensive strategy.
Ah that was a shite kick from Sexton.
Jonny has not been good here so far.
Trimble needs to do better there. Thatās a couple of times Wales have won big yardage from kicking behind him.
Sexton and Ferris did well to win that back after Trimble got isolated.
Much better. Couple of big carries in there. Murray was very good throughout there in keeping the tempo up and some good handling. Great line from Bowe and Best with a simple finish.
That is much better. DāArcy is having a very solid game at 12
come on ta fuck Ireland, Wales are great going forward but not so hot when they are forced to turn, we need to take it to them a lot more in the second half.
