[Six Nations 2018] Round 3: Ireland vs Wales (24/02/2018)

[TommiG88]

Embarrassing from Biggar.

 

[g6mcg]

Biggar knocking on because he was complaining to the ref. Glorious.

 

[big ginger 8]

Beautiful mix of skill, power and guile.

Who says Kearney can't pass?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Lovely!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Is Keith Earls the form winger on the planet ATM?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Earls is great.

 

[bushytop]

Wales really look off the pace at the breakdown, ireland are playing well though... very impressed by them so far.

I was thinking he's certainly the pick of the 6N. Ioane is the form winger from another planet.

 

[Tadginator]

Moriarty is an idiot. Should've gone straight back up pitch. Running sideways behind your own line is just handing it to us

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

I was thinking he's certainly the pick of the 6N. Ioane is the form winger from another planet.

Idk I think it's a discussion to have. Ioane's obviosuly much better going forward but in defence, in the air and kicking game I'd have thought Earls has got him.

I think it's because you're playing a very good back row compared to the average England one last week.

 

[Groundhog]

Bonus point city

 

[TommiG88]

Biggar needs to come off for Anscombe.

Would also bring on North for Evans.

Earls is certainly a dream fit for Schmidts tactics which Ioane wouldn't be. He also appears to be in the form of his life in a green shirt.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That would have been a hell of a try


The two offloads from Sexton and Murray before Earls kicked ahead were class, just knowing someone is gonna be there to sort it

 

[bushytop]

Thank god the Irish tire in the last quarter...

 

[TommiG88]

How did they get the ball out of the ruck though?

 

[Bluemoon]

Wow that last phase summed up today for me. How that wasn't a pen I don't know.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Interesting comparison in the success of the Welsh defence in the past two weeks. Ireland deserve enormous credit for making this pretty one sided and getting a BP against such a good defence well before 60mins.

Ireland not missing Henshaw at all on this evidence. We might just have a tournament on our hands after all.

 

[TommiG88]

That looked like a forward pass.
