[2020 Six Nations] Ireland vs Wales (08/02/20)

[big ginger 8]

Some good shape so far but lacking a clinical touch.

Think those two Welsh penalties were wrong though.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Wales constantly lying on the wrong side or holding on to the ball when off feet and bit getting penalised. They've been doing this for ages and keep getting away with it

 

[TheOvalBall]

Forward that.... but who cares ? lol

 

[Leinster Fan]

Aaand it's an Ireland box kick, couldn't have seen that one coming.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Wales winning the important things early.

 

[Bluemoon]

Wales winning the important things early.

That was my feeling. Need some composure in attack.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That penalty was wrong - his knees were on the ground before Murray went on the ball so the tackle was completed and he was first man in, not assisting

I can understand poite not having the angle but the touch judges need to wake up

 

[TheOvalBall]

That's a great steal from Aiki, or however you spell his surname.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Random thought: A rattled All Blacks team is a beautiful thing to see

 

[Bluemoon]

Am I right in saying Ireland have the wind first half?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Biggar little dove straight off his feet onto that haha

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Wales constantly defending narrow in their right wing

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Am I right in saying Ireland have the wind first half?

Think they said Wales do, at the start of the game

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Something I've found interesting so far but don't really have an explanation for: in the Irish pods the ball so far has tended to go the the inner-most man rather than the middle man. Any ideas as to why this might be?

 

[Reiser99]

Definitely feel the touch judges should be helping more. High tackle missed as well before Ireland won the penalty.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Could see that ball not coming out a mile off.

 

[Bluemoon]

Faletau and AWJ did immensely well there. Ball also deserves a shout as he was in causing havoc on the first stop.

 

[big ginger 8]

Some nice stuff, the three who were getting some criticism are really playing well. Espe Henshaw.

We're going to regret not finishing these attacks off.

Quinnys commentating is so bad.

 

[Bluemoon]

Think they said Wales do, at the start of the game

Touch judges flag going the other way to that!

 

[Leinster Fan]

Good intent going forward from us so far, lack of accuracy letting us down at the key times though.
