[2016 RBS Six Nations] Round 1: Ireland vs. Wales (07/02/2016)

[Tony Manx]

The Welsh did their best.

I do not think that is their best but chapeau to the Irish defence in this half!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Priestland redemption story!

 

[Tony Manx]

Sexton seems to be better.....whinges to the ref all through the game right to last kick before going off!!!

Good to see!!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

The week of the drop goal!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Too early for that dropgoal attempt, looked rushed.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

The week of the drop goal!

+1

 

[TRF_Olyy]

+1

It's not rugby league, it would've been +3

 

[Tony Manx]

Great result for the English team surely?!!

Jeez - no wonder NH in strife if all three of the commentators really thought that was a "great" game of rugby with periods of "great quality"!!!

Methinks their standards have been dumbed down!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I reckon one of these two will win the grand slam..............


Oh wait......

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great result for the English team surely?!!

Haha, I was thinking pre-game I hoped it'd be a draw!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

It's not rugby league, it would've been +3

+1

 

[Gavin]

Stander is top quality. I do think he could be a long term Ireland captain

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

One of these sides will go through unbeaten if not both. The game may have provided a winner with a better ref but it was hard to tell who was better with that lacklustre refereeing.

That was ****ing attritional, disappointing as draws always are but given I thought, Wales would win i'm somewhat ok with it. Still not really good enough from Ireland, or what they can do.

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

I think Wales will win it going by this weekend. Looked very strong and really fluent for great big lumps of today's match. Drop goal attempts were a little rushed tbf, but their breakdown (along with Ireland's) is the kind of level England need to be reaching.

Ireland lucky to get the draw imo.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

sorry but what the f*** is Gareth Thomas talking about: "The standard of the rugby today was a credit to the six nations and shows that we can stand up quality wise to the southern hemisphere?"

Are all Welsh people insane as well as deluded? (*Lies in wait for Valley Commando*)

 

[TRF_Olyy]

One of these sides will go through unbeaten if not both.

You both lost today.
If ain't winning you're losing.

 

[McTallshort]

Why isn't Jonny Wilkinson a coach?

 

[Groundhog]

Really good post match analysis here

Rep me please
