[RWC19 Warm-Up] - Wales vs. Ireland

[Not Eddie Jones]

If Ireland lose this game from here, I think it would be a crippling blow after last week.

Well on today.
Kilcoyne has cemented his spot and Porter has showed he can do both sides of scrum.
In Peter O'Mahony we have another 7 and well it may turn out he plays more rugby there than 6.
Carty has really blown Ross Byrne out of the park.

Best hasn't been awful but there is still a vulnerability feel with him now.
Conway and Addison have both done well and unless Aki does not travel and both of them do I feel that is the last live competition for a spot

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Scrum - just what Wales wanted!

He's been a LO liability for a long time - remember the Lions...?

Harsh IMO, play on for me but technically the letter of the law was followed I guess so can't complain?

 

[TheOvalBall]

Wales back to no.2 after this ?

Yes but in general just think time has caught up on him. His mind still sees all the right things but the body can't execute like before

 

[TRF_Olyy]

4th, if they lose

 

[Groundhog]

Ringrose has been poor since he came on. Very much at fault there.

Nah, they drop to 4th if they lose by any score.

 

[Leinster Fan]

So as it turns out Ringrose is a winger in the same way Henshaw is a fullback.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

The guys you'd expect to be starters look exhausted off the bench.

Very much looks like a non starter of an idea.

 

[rugga658]

That was a weird one, did he need to jump?

He had a strong need to jump

It was an act of self preservation

Bundee O'Aki was going to crush his exposed ribs and chest

 

[Jockstap]

Devin Toner really is useless in the lose.

Think Heaslip was right, he's shooting up on the outside shoulder to cut off the option of the pass and force Patchell to cut inside, he probably should have made the tackle but it is a difficult one. He needed a stronger hunt from the lads on his inside.

 

[Rinkadink]

See my earlier comments re: clock and scrum.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Well done, Ireland.

 

[big ginger 8]

Not a great finish from us but overall a positive result, mostly because it seems we had no serious injuries.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Welsh scrum has struggled in all 3 warm-ups so far. How many scrum penalties have they given up over those 3 games?
