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

[TRF_Olyy]

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

Relegate him to velcro

 

[TheOvalBall]

This could be costly.

 

[Reiser99]

Definitely feel Wales have had the rub of the green on ref decisions. Be shame if that's the difference at the end.

Ireland need to be far more clinical though. 5 points for amount of territory and possession is not good enough.

 

[Leinster Fan]

This time can we please not try keeping it up front where we've consistently been turned over?

The one time we went to the backs we scored straight away.

Edit: nevermind haha

 

[TheOvalBall]

And it is.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Get that man some taytos

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

Yeah, Furlong really looked like he lacked explosiveness there.

 

[munstermuffin]

I mention Tadgh the Tank explosiveness and he shows me

You hate to see it

 

[munstermuffin]

Yeah, Furlong really looked like he lacked explosiveness there.

Exactly what I was looking for

 

[Bluemoon]

Enjoying this game, weirdly as both teams are making weird, uncharacteristic errors. Ireland playing well with the kicking and playing in the right areas. Wales much more likely to bring magic.

Biggar doing his laces, sexton taking ages at restarts. Are they having some sort of competition?

Agree 100% on this. Kilcoyne and Porter have looked best for a while. A swap wouldn't do any harm, although Furlong has really licked thinfs up the last few weeks.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I'm actually very happy with this so far, the lads look like they're enjoying the rugby they're playing and that's great compared to last year.

Still think Wales will nick it.

I think more frustrating is as Furlong showed there they have that fire cracker just need to get back on form of it

 

[Bluemoon]

This forward offload game is new for Wales. Enjoying watching them try to develop it. Worked for the one try, maybe tried it a bit too much there.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Conway really playing well, shows the benefits of getting form players into the team.

 

[Which Tyler]

Really hearing the wind on the crowd microphones.
Noticed the ball was making a bid for freedom earlier too whilst Bigger was thing his laces

 

[Reiser99]

Wales passing is so flat. Possibly wrong side of flat, but hey ho.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Good kick.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Sexton has been right about most of the things he's complained to Ppite about but he doesn't do it in a way that inspires sympathy at all.
