RBS 6 Nations - Ireland vs Wales - (05/02/2012 -15:00)

[Feicarsinn]

SuperJesus!!!

 

[Feicarsinn]

Ireland are playing themselves into all sorts of trouble at moment. Stop giving the ball away!!!

 

[Jockstap]

25 mins gone and we've been in their 22 once.

Would love to see the territory stats.

One positive for Ireland is that they're dominating the lineout.

Edit:
73% to Wales, just came up on the screen

 

[Feicarsinn]

Right, this is annoying. Sexton doesn't usually kick this much. It's not working either. Change of game plan please.

 

[munstermuffin]

Great to hear

Sadly for Irish rugby it means that unless McFadden has a stormer tonight Earls will be up against Rougerie

I think whatever 13 we select will struggle McFadden doesnt fill me with 100% confidence either

 

[lucky number 7]

When wales commit to the rucks they do so when they are almost guaranteed a turnover leaving plenty of men to defend out wide..

Irish are flooding the rucks trying to constantly poach and as a result leaving too much space out wide

 

[dullonien]

Davies did bloody well on the turn there.

Problem is we are asking Leinster backs who are used to a running gameplan to play a territory game. We should let them play the running game as when they move it we are making yards

This. When we run the ball we look good, but there's far too much kicking going on.


D'arcy is having a good game, oddly enough.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Smashing.

 

[dullonien]

Nice try.

 

[Jockstap]

yeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh booooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ireland really woken up now that they've stopped kicking - Best in for a try

 

[SuperScot]

Some lovely flowing passes there.

 

[Groundhog]

Heaslip is standing out for me as is Murray. Not so sure about Sexton though (nice conversion though)

 

[Jockstap]

Sean I will bear your children

more likely just to leave you with a sore arse.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Heaslip is standing out for me as is Murray. Not so sure about Sexton though (nice conversion though)

He's being asked to play a game he's not comfortable with.

 

[Bluemoon]

Wales playing well but finishing from good positions have been the difference. Very impressed with the forward play. Backs have plenty of endeavour looking to break the line, but finishing them off will decide this game.

Credit to Ireland for coming back and scoring when it mattered. Next score important!

 

[munstermuffin]

Nice to be ahead at halftime but not sure we deserve it overall.
We have a problem as players selected though don't agree with gameplan so have to alter that but happy with the lead
