While Ireland havenât played well I think Ralph and Ryle are overstating how much in control Wales were. Theyâve had the better of much of that half but havenât done anything with the ball really since Pristland kicked the ball dead about 20 minutes ago.
Weathered a bit of an early storm but we have gotten better as the half progressed. Very physical game and I donât think Barnes has done us too many favours.
Murray has had an excellent 40 minutes in both attack and defence while Heaslip has been more prominant that he has been in recent times for Ireland. Darcy has been solid and done the simple things well.
Warburton going off will do us no harm at all.
BBC making a lot of the non-try for Wales. Certainly donât think it could be given.
Hook on as well for Cuthbert. Presume he will go to 15 with Halfpenny to the wing
Hook in for Cuthbert. Presume Hook is gone to fullback with Halfpenny on the wing? Cuthbert didnât look great to me.
Two turnovers already in this half.
No injury for Cuthbert 
That fucking shite on the PA after a score. Cunting shiteology 
Priestlandâs kicks in behind are ridiculously premeditated and telegraphed.
Rocko, isnât that just rugby in general?
Silly penalty to give away from the otherwise impressive Gordon William Dâarcy.
This Priestland fella is a charlatan
Flat enough second half. That is a very poor try to concede. Terrible missed tackle by McFadden
That was just dreadful. Darcy and McFadden hang your heads.
Dâarcy and McFadden both poor there.
Youâd like to think McFadden would do better there. Canât be too critical as he was just blown away but he needed to make the offload difficult at least.
If it was Earls that missed that tackle you would have been scathing of him :guns:
Not so much like to think, Iâd fully expect him to do better. Unacceptable.
Good response.
Yeah was just power that beat him. I thought Dâarcy was more than happy to ship on responsibilty so would be just as critical of him.
