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

[Leonormous Boozer]

I'm salty with Joe to be honest.

He's forgotten more about rugby than I'll ever know but he's backed his past achievements and those of his players. Everyone has noticed Murray is not to standard, Conan has been our best backrow, whatever tactics we've tried to employ haven't worked, Sexton generally doesn't pull his game back together after a few mistakes and POM is a luxury player that needs to be paired with two b strong carriers in a backrow, we've done nothing to help any of this.

Tipuric knocked that on first...in front of the ref.

He won it but irish lad on the floor was still holding on hence the spill. Could easily have gone as a penalty. You should have to wrestle the ball off the floor.

Poor campaign but at least Ireland won the World Cup last November against New Zealand.....

 

[Leinster Fan]

That was a terrible pass from Murray.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Earls was over the line before he made contact with the ball, so it actually is a 22

 

[truthteller]

alun wyn jones is like the highlander out there lol

 

[Leinster Fan]

The rest of the.pack have been carrying Best and O'Mahony for far too long, Ryan should be captain, based off this 6N Conan should be starting.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Think Gardner got that right first time round. Earls' knee hits the line just before he makes contact with the ball.

 

[corny]

I love a bit of overreaction myself but I think you're going a bit far there.

Yeah shame is a bit much. I suspect the players have taken their eyes off the ball because Schmidt has announced he's leaving. Thats where i'm coming from. Drastic measures and all....

 

[Adakins]

Isn't the rule now that the ball has to be over the line, not the body? So he carried it into the goal area.

When did we start lumping O'Mahony in with Best exactly?

Warren Gatland announced he's leaving Wales. Hasn't done them any harm.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Oh well. Wales is basically a third world country, I guess they deserve to be happy about something...

I thought if the ball was still moving it was ok?
So it stops the situations where the ball was at a standstill in the in goal and players would stand over the back line and reach in and grab the ball to force a scrum from the kick

FML.

Are you playing this badly on purpose?

 

[Reiser99]

Fair play to Wales, they have deserved this. I still think they are beatable and could have lost in 3 of the 5 games, but they did what they needed to and deserve to be champions.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Can someone explain to me why Murray and Sexton are still on?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

FML.

I wish

 

[TRF_Olyy]
