[2025 Six Nations] Wales vs Ireland - 22/02/25

[Weldit]

Much better from Wales. They're actually attacking and thanks to Gatland, Ireland have no idea what a welsh attack looks like

 

[Jimbo]

I fully expect Ireland to have a purple patch at some point and end this as a contest but given where Wales
Where I think they can take a lot of pride and build, I still question their current talent pool, however that doesn't mean it was being maximised previously.

Why is Tommy Bowe talking about Rongrose smashing his daughter?!?!?!

 

[dullonien]

Are you saying that was a supreme attacking gameplan try?!?!

No, and I agree when they spread it on pen advantage, with a back up they made a hash of it. But just be positive for oncd, not just point out the negatives.

 

[Bluemoon]

I don't mind Nige, Jiff should have been p45'd at least 10 years ago

Many welsh people would also agree.

 

[Rinkadink]

I hate this 20 minute red card rule change.

Is it poor planning from Easterby?

Will Wales lose out on a good head coach because of 1 poor game?

Shut up you morning television presenter dipshit

I want to...

But I'm welsh, I remember the 90s too much!!!

Does it include the 10 minutes already 'served', I assume so?

Yes.

My dad and brother are the same. Struggle to watch with them as it just drags me down lol

 

[dirty harry]

Just for the record...

In 2008 I slated Gats for picking too many Ospreys, in 2012 and 2013 I complained that Cuthbert wasn't good enough, I even remember complaining about getting Martyn out of retirement, and in 2019 I said Parkes wasn't good enough!!!

 

[OllyM97]

reckon there could be some boots flying in the Ireland dressing room.

Hate it!!!!!

If you break the rules and act dangerously your team should be punished...

This gives foul play encouragement

I don't think he'll go for it tbh. Franco seems more likely. Easterby is probably better fitted in the director role if he was interested.

And in 2025 you backed Gatland, nullifying everything beforehand!

I get it, and I'd love to enjoy the game, I'd love to cheer, and praise everyone...

But I can't. I have to re watch the games 3 times, put it through analysis, and have a comment section row with squidge rugby before I can relax

 

[dirty harry]

I hate to tell you, but I was wrong in every example I gave lol

I never backed Gatland, but I 100% refuse to admit anyone could do better with this poor squad.

I think what we are seeing here is a 40 min new coach bump, Ireland have rested a few players, and seemingly havnt done much homework, but I think they'll come good.
