Wales v Ireland, 02/02/13

[dullonien]

Faletau having a great game imo. Great carrying game.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Earls: comes on... gives away try.

Well done.

 

[dullonien]

Phillips you fool! That should have been another try.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Chris Henry on good stuff.

 

[Jockstap]

I'm not surprised O'Mahony went off, he went head first into one of the Welsh lads knees 10 minutes ago, he looked concussed coming off.

 

[dullonien]

Why didn't we start with Tipuric? Made an impact. Shows that Howley made the wrong decision imo. Not for the first time.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Wales coming back at us.

 

[dullonien]

Mike Phillips is fired up!

 

[dullonien]

Surely getting close to yellow card time if another penalty is given away? Thought so. Now we need another try. I'd also bring on Kohn and James and attack the scrum.

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Great hit by Gilroy. Best is now off for 10.

 

[dullonien]

Irish player was holding their face at the ruck there. Has there been an incident?

Edit. Great finish by Halfpenny.

**** **** **** ****

 

[Jockstap]

Ireland could lose this if they don't man up for the next 10.

 

[dullonien]

That kick might prove crucial.

Exactly what I saw, there was a rake to the face, could hear an irish player shouting about it!!!!!

Might be a nasty ban for someone (think it was Phillips)

Tipuric stamped on Sextons face climbing over the ruck.

Yes Sexton got a kick on the face that, by the sound of him, must have felt like he had been hit by a tank as opposed to being accidentally kicked by a guy with his head so far up someone else's he could never have beeen aware of Sxton being in TOTALLY the wrong place!!

Huge "Gamesmanship" being exhibited now in their panic.......

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Huge impact from Ken Owens and Tipuric. Shows Howleys mistakes.

 

[dullonien]

Tipuric stamped on Sextons face climbing over the ruck.

That could end in a ban. I do think that Ireland have been very slow to roll away, but that is no excuse for being reckless with the boot.

 

[TVH11]

Gotta say, Cian Healey has to be MOTM regardless of how this ends!! Being a former proper I am in awe with what this man is doing in this game!!! He is everywhere!!
