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

[TheOvalBall]

Commentators saying Farrell wearing his heart on his sleeve. I prefer a coach who doesn't show emotion.

A coach should not be a robot, but should be focused no matter what happens.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tompkins looking bad defensively. Been handed off a couple of times and missed some tackles.

4 missed tackles already.

Almost like 1 good game v Italy doesn't make you world class straight away....

 

[Leinster Fan]

Is knocking the ball out of the jumpers hand like that legal? (Genuine question)

 

[big ginger 8]

Is that a knock on at the lineout since it hit an Irish player before he regathered it or does it matter?

 

[TheOvalBall]

Good grubber that.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ireland done their homework.

Controlling this game with ease so far

 

[munstermuffin]

Must say Murray has looked sharp.

 

[Bluemoon]

Ah damn.

McNicolls defence was really poor against Italy. Got a bad feeling about this now in defence. Wales need a bit of sustained possession up in the Irish half.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Henshaw been the standout so far, although everyone is having a decent game.

 

[munstermuffin]

Biggest worry for me is Healy and Furlong Furlong don't look as destructive anymore. And our frontrow are not what is needed. Neither playing awful and not a case of questioning their places just we need them to get that explosiveness back

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

That was class by ALW and Biggar

 

[Leinster Fan]

Thought the pass to AWJ was forward?

 

[TheOvalBall]

Good try that.

 

[Bluemoon]

That's a class try.

First real set of phases from Wales and that's more what I was expecting with ball in hand.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Forward as ****, maybe twice

They not checking??

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Wales have this now. We've been so wasteful.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

How many times has Biggar done his laces this game? Double knot lad.

 

[Leinster Fan]

That pass from Biggar to AWJ was pretty blatantly forward, shocking call.

Great try though, Wales will be very happy with themselves so far and rightfully so. We've done a lot of huff and puff and haven't come close to blowing the house down.

 

[big ginger 8]

Good play from Wales, super frustrating from us though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah that offload was as forward as you like, how have they not checked it

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

2 forward passes

 

[munstermuffin]

That's what Sexton should not be captain. Regardless of being right or wring you need to be cool headed with ref
