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

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Shingler surely on track for player of the tournament

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Imagine if Wales won this
For all the Irish dominance this half they're still within touching distance

Wales' back row have been monstered today. Scoring a try in a losing effort doesn't quite make player of the tournament.

No but all of his monumental performances so far in the tournament do.

No but all of his monumental performances so far in the tournament do.

His first game was blown out of proportion. His stats weren't fantastic either. I personally think Navidi (sp?) has been their unsung player.

Another good one. For me so far it's Earls or Shingler though.

I would also add Farrell into it.

 

[big ginger 8]

Shocking phase from McFadden.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Evans really doesn't back his pace does he. Every time he's gotten into some space he's kicked or cut inside.

 

[Bluemoon]

Thought the Irish prop came off his feet there. But there we are.

Don't think England will be too concerned with this.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Beautiful try

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Well that's unfortunate

 

[bushytop]

Gutted Wales didn't turn up until the last 20... well done though ireland, didn't see a bonus point win to be fair but deserved.

For the first time this championship we looked like we missed Warburton and Faletau, though Shingler and Navidi did improve in the final quarter.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Good game, lots to work on, need Hendy, Furlong and Ringrose back so we have a bench. Grand slam is on.

 

[Groundhog]

Waheyyyyyyyy gowan Stockdale. Good man Farrell ye gem.

 

[ThebigARena]

Well done Ireland good win and deserved , no excuses dominated for 60 mins came back late on , good luck for the slam

Wales have been doing this to Ireland for the best part of a decade, they've replaced France as our bogey team.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Great game to watch, for Wales Navidi and Shingler have been great, but Ireland might have the best back row in the world.
Ireland really well done, Farrell looked brilliant.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Surely they can't bring Ringrose straight in after that Farrell performance? He'd be a weapon off the bench too.

Thought McFadden was extremely poor unfortunately, especially in defence. What's happening with our D out wide? Surely the coaches would have been working on this from the Italy game?

Farrell left the wings in no man's land a lot. If we think he can play 12 I'd have Ringrose at 13, we need a brain in midfield.
