Great tackle by Ringrose
McCloskey has to do better in his tackle there.1 on 1
Rugby without Wales is only half dressed
Faletau would normally get away with a few of those
Try bonus point in first half hour potentially. Mad.
Edit: shit, thought he’d go for the lineout
Welsh are absolutely shit. No discipline, no physicality, no structure… Things you love to see
Think that was Hansen’s first touch of the ball on 29 minutes.
Silly kick by Sexton there
Sow it into the cunts. Wales Online will be quiet after this one.
I can’t believe I ever doubted Andy Farrell. He has ireland purring at present playing a lovely brand of rugby.
Won’t be able to turn on newstalk or radio one for a week at least . Hype will be off the charts
Bealham very impressive so far
Wales’s loss to Ireland in the corresponding fixture in 2013 cost them a Grand Slam.
I think we can safely say that Wales losing today won’t be costing them any Grand Slam.
Still too reliant on garryowens and box kicks
It’s actually a perfect tactic against this Welsh side today. They’re clueless in possession so kicking it back to them just means we’ll turn them over time and again. I’d kick it down their throats all day.
But with the luxury of such a lead, can afford to be a bit more expansive. Back 3 hardly touched ball unless off kick return
And it means they need to keep players dropped back making space out wide
Win the game first. Plenty time for the fancy stuff in the 2nd half. Ireland could go over 50 if so.
Wales will be whitewashed. You’d worry for them in the final game against France in Paris off the back of four losses. France could put 70 on them.
This is like Ken Owens Cam at present.
It doesn’t need to be one or the other.
