Heaslip is absolutely immense as he always breaks the gain line taking about 4 defenders with him. Irelands backrow are experts are carrying forward, targeting the fringe area, giving the momentum for usually a very dangerous backline. I think, perhaps, the Irish backline looked a little stale in attack and for long periods of the game did not always play at the intensity they had when they scored the trys. I understand what you are saying about momentum with Wales and I totally agree. But England away and Scotland at home are always massive occasions. Im hoping for the fairytale of playing France for a grand slam after the WC defeat, but most of us in Wales have suffered enough heartache to keep our feet on the ground!Pob Lwc for the rest of the tournament.</blockquote>
