[2019 Six Nations] Wales v Ireland (16/03/2019)

[Leonormous Boozer]

James Ryan is probably the only Irish player who can look himself in the mirror and say i gave that my best.

Conan has looked like a rugby player too, the rest of the backrow can hardly call themselves men.

Someone should show Schmidt a replay of Moriarity carrying in the first half. We have to be the worst of the top nations in terms of static carries.

 

[Adakins]

Fair call guys. This just isn't the Irish team I am used to watching. You're right it doesn't excuse the basic handling errors.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Have some ******* pride lads .

 

[oj121]

Calls for MOTM?

Navidi has tackled himself raw again. Biggar has defended and led the rush perfectly but it simply has to be Anscombe. Moment of magic.

Conan has looked ok but has been driven back easy enough too at times.

But we have just been terrible. Sad that Schmidts last 6Nations games is remembered as his worst performance of his tenure.

On opposite site. Fair play Wales. Ye have been excelleand Gatland gets 1 last power dump on IRFU

 

[Leinster Fan]

Make this end please.

I know some Irish fans might hate me, but Ireland remind me of England during their ridiculous penalty phase when they kept making out the ref was wrong rather than adapt even if the ref was useless.

We haven’t adapted well to the ref today but given how good our penalty count usually is I think it further down the priority list. There’s far larger problems which need addressing.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Carry has shown why Sexton wasn't taken off but by merely being competent Marmion was an improvement.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

James Ryan is just a poor mans itoje.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Not out but better than the Haskell, wood, Cole era. Only one of them is left.

I get you, but we conceded 8 penalties against Ireland and from memory 9 against Wales.

I think the extra £1.1m will be missed

The only poem that comes to mind about a Ringrose for Ireland ends, "a tissue, a tissue, we all fall down".

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Congratulations Wales, a comprehensive way to seal a GS.

Some Irish reputations have been shredded this championship.

I mean, those were at best 3/10 performances from Murray and Sexton. Never seen anything like it before.

This tournament just reinforced for me that the six nations is just a great big carousel of ambitions of the top sides. No one team gets to the top and are as good as they think they are when at the top. We all get humbled at some point and it moves back round again . What matters is where the Carousel ends up when the world cup comes round...

 

[munstermuffin]

To be very fair replacement frontrow has been decent

 

[Leinster Fan]

We don't deserve to score.

3/10 is generous. Both could easily be given negative figures

 

[corny]

We're had no support for our carriers. We're normally excellent at latching on and making metres.

Just another lazy performance from players too comfortable in their jerseys. Heads should have rolled first game of the tournament.

 

[munstermuffin]

Lovely step from Larmour.
