[2022 Six Nations] Ireland vs Wales (05/02/22)

[Scotty]

I wonder what the odds would be for Wales not to score a point?

 

[McTallshort]

Ireland only conceded 2 penalties in 70 minutes?

What's the lowest penalties conceded in 6N/internationals?

(How many have Wales conceded this match, 10 to 15?)

Penalties come from being under pressure. Ireland have not looked under pressure all afternoon.

Think they said it was his first at the Aviva

That makes more sense
In my defence this is dull as hell so I'm playing stardew valley on the switch at the same time

 

[Bluemoon]

What was that from Sheedy? What was he thinking!

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Small thing but I wish they'd make it so the 2 had to be behind the lines when throwing in, not with the tiniest bit of their heels touching the line.

 

[McTallshort]

I'm going to wistfully dream of a day England concedes single figure penalties.

I will take single figures after 20 minutes

It wasn't a tackle he was competing for the ball and they collided. He hand was up, he had fractions of a second to move his body as he collided with Sexton.

It's academic really as Ireland have been much better today.

He changed direction and body position....

For all the slagging you give the Welsh you think you'd be enjoying this.

I hope it's the obnoxious joy of Irish rugby fans on a high that's ruining it!

 

[ncurd]

Wales Online just did their much vaunted head to head player ratings and Ireland come out ahead by 4. Wales must be in a poor place for WOL to rate Wales that low.

Thought this was worth reminding people....

Disagree at breakdowns for example, Pelter(autocorrect but I'm going to leave it) evening up the count in past couple of minutes.

 

[Bluemoon]

This game just shows how much we need AWJ , Ken , Navidi and North. I honestly can't believe we trialed a small winger in Josh Adams in centre against a rampant Irish team that beat the ABs comfortably .We seem a very depleted team ATM with no sense of direction and it doesn't help when you have idiotic play with Adams hitting sexton off the ball with a penalty In hand. The effort is there but the structure is not. I championed pivac when he took over but I question that with this lightweight centre partnership and a seemingly lack of a plan B . Should be a good tournament for the Irish , English , France and Scots to scrap over.

You have to question Pivac on not changing the Adams situation when having the ability to do so at multiple times. You also have to question the coaching team as even when we've had a little possession it's been very flat and lacking direction. Im not buying the injury list - there is more than just players missing in the result and in this performance.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Typical Munster ruining a good thing.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Smart by Ireland won’t likely sack someone if they don’t get nill

 

[big ginger 8]

**** way to lose the nil.

Tadhg obviously feeling charitable after his time in Wales.

 

[ncurd]

Awwww that ruined a perfectly good Wales game.

 

[Scotty]

Wow all they had to do is clear the line and prob win to nil.

It's men vs boys, the entertainment value is low for the neutral

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Conor Murray making a break against you is worse than the nil would have been tbh

Just looked they ain't offering any .. gutted!!!?

 

[Astrodragon]

I wonder how isolated an Irish player has to be before the referee wont give you the penalty anyway?
