Give over, you were giving it this and that before the game.  Ireland were just as poor as Wales, its quite easy to point the finger at others when really you should look at the problems closer to home.  Good little cheap shot regarding the World Cup there, could say the same for all the nations but England come then.  Wales were not that bad but neither were they great, we had our moments as did Ireland.  Welsh defence was pretty good on our own tryline.  Our forwards looked good but our backs were terrible, raises questions of whether Howley is good enough to coach them. 

A win's a win, be it ugly or not.  With a team low on confidence I'll always take an ugly win over a loss.  Welsh posters here are positive because of the pure confidence that was seemingly brimming from the Irish members.  I go back to the point a Win's a win.  I can point out half a dozen things from that game that Kaplan got wrong, I go back to what I wrote earlier where Ireland got a lot of calls their way and Wales 50-50 call was that of the lineout try.  It was never a try but you play to the ref's whistle and I can tell you I have sat in the same seat in the Millennium for over a decade and missed only a dozen games in that time and I can tell you I have seen some poor calls against Wales, was nice to see it go our way for a change.

EDIT:  To blame the ball boy is frankly disgusting.  He was doing his job.  Kaplan and his assistants are the sole men that should be blamed.
