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

WGJ for Lions 3

Director doesn't even show the scrum instead focusing on a Welsh back, why does rugby hate one of its key aspects so much?

 

[dirty harry]

We've shown more in attack in this first 10 mins than we have in the last year under Gatland.

What attack?!?! It's all out the back fluff, no half line break whatsoever.

A coherent attack puts defences under pressure, Ireland have defended for 5 phases and turned over, and 4 phases won a penalty.

It's flash, but no substance thus far

 

[Jimbo]

Lowe being a twat again

Again, when did he stop it's just one continuation.

 

[dirty harry]

Much preferring Anscombe at 10. Picking some better options already. Llewelyn with 2 good carries and hitting some nice lines. Cant expect everything to change in 2 weeks.

Anscombes had a horror start

 

[dullonien]

Accuracy is killing us here. We're doing some good things, but just letting ourselves dowb at key moments

You can tell he's an actual flyhalf.

What are we doing well?

2 scrum penalties, stupidity ball in hand.

Conan is playing himself in to Lions contention last few months

Nah can't agree, the 50/22 was a bit lazy but it's not been horror. Much better management.

 

[IT157]

Good comment by Davis. When it's not on, you can kick. The top teams do this. Yet more people will complain about KiCKiNG tHE BaLL AWaY.

2 scrum penalties, stupidity ball in hand.

3 scrum pens. You going to hold your hands up and admit you were wrong about changing our front row which you say was going really well?

Poor restart, nearly got charged down, playing deep and playing the ball out the back door...

He looks old and slow.

Hoping he's just warming into the speed difference

 

[Groundhog]

Think Jager is a more solid scrummager than Clarkson tbh.

 

[Bluemoon]

Man. Porter is seems to be getting pasted here at scrum time.

 

[dullonien]

2 scrum penalties, stupidity ball in hand.

Man, you're just too keen to prove yourself right!

We have attacked quite well. Worked Falwtau free on one wing, Llewellyn had a half break in midfield, Anscombe cross field kick too.

 

[Jimbo]

You can't defend so passively against Ireland and not expect to concede huge ground constantly, there's only any speed when into the 22, entries shouldn't come so easily.

 

[IT157]

Anscombes had a horror start

I guess when the last flyhalf start was from a 12, having an actual flyhalf playing there will automatically look better. I wouldn't say a horror start either.

That's amazing...

But what game have you ever seen 3 scrums 3 penalties to one team?!?! Maybe Sheehan isn't fit yet, maybe ref has something visible to him we don't have

Stop being such a negative Nancy you silly goose.
