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

[big ginger 8]

Don't think that was a penalty based on his this year has been refereed but our own fault for trying to do a lineout before the hooker gets the ball.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Kill me now. I can barely watch.

 

[TommiG88]

This is one of worst Ireland teams over the last few years. What has happened?

The ref hasn't helped, but they've been awful. Zero composure

 

[Leinster Fan]

Kill me now. I can barely watch.

That's why referees have to be very judicious with going off your feet penalties - it's really easy for the defending team at rucks to move out the way last second and then the players clearing out will be going off their feet, as Beirne just did .I think that pen against Navidi was just about ok

 

[Leinster Fan]

I know why O'Mahony is in the team but other than a few dodgy turnovers (that decent refs rarely let him away with), he contributes absolutely nothing in open play.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Sexton and Ryan are the only ones actually trying right now.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I don't understand what's happening

 

[big ginger 8]

We just can't seem to do two good things in a row.

 

[TommiG88]

I don't understand what's happening

Ireland are bad, and will be going in to the World Cup hoping to make it to the quarters.

Genuinely forgot he was playing - I've not seen him once

I don't understand what's happening

A really low quality game of rugby

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

I hate refs looking at replays like that. It gives power to the home stadia TV director.

 

[Bluemoon]

Sexton has lost his head.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

What a dickless 40 minutes of rugby.

 

[big ginger 8]

Got the wrong ******* loose head there. It's not collapsing if the scrum doesn't actually collapse.

At least it can't get much worse.

 

[Leinster Fan]

I think the starting Leinster backrow of Leavy, Van der Flier and Conan would destroy the one we've picked today

 

[Jimbo]

Neither side has thrown one down the line yet, but Owens and Best are the two worst throwers in the competition so they're probably just letting it slide for fear of 80mins solid of scrums

Fair enough I just thought there would be a little more scrutiny given how much of a talking point Wales lineout was before the game, this is so unlike Ireland, they seem utterly rattled at the moment anything but there're usual selfs, hopefully they come out firing in the second half.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Sexton has lost his head.

He's been our only half-decent player

 

[truthteller]

the welsh have ruined the irish scrum and even stolen a few lineouts.....got to say the welsh have been supremely efficient that half

Marmion and Conan absolutely needed straight away.
