Would have been on a plate for Priestland to get rid too. Don't really agree with his choice of putting the bomb up from within our own 22 though.

by Cowshot Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:28 am

As soon as I type Wales are looking the better, Kearney breaks and it's an Irish penalty! Laugh

7-3. Wales ARE looking the better.

by Guest Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:28 am

waht's with all the up and unders??!

by flyhalffactory Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:29 am

Thats 3 missed tackles from Faletau, and a few penalties given away by Lydiate, poor play from these two

by HammerofThunor Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:30 am

It's windy. If the ball catches the wind it'll make it difficult to catch

Exactly. Pointless. Go on 1/2p boot this...

by Guest Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:30 am

turnover!! against POC!

da iawn phillips a warbs na.

Wales are not helping themselves in this match at all, why do we keep kicking the ball back to them?

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:31 am

Oh yes!!!! Brilliant kick! clap

by Guest Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:31 am

Lyds has only given away one penalty

And WHAT a kick by 1/2p!!

10-3. That's it bechgyn, keep chipping away, takes the points where you can.

by flyhalffactory Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:31 am

massive tackle count difference 57 wales and 28 Ireland tells the tale of the last 10 mins.

superb kick from 1/2p BRILLIANT

Disagree, Lydiate making tackles all over, penalties have been harsh.

Great nudge 1/2p.

by manofgwent Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:32 am

Poor kicking. Not giving chasers a chance.
Great tackle again Danny!!

by **rodders** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:32 am

Ireland are trying to play too much rugby for my liking. Wales are conceding a lot of penalties and are set piece is going well so we just need play for territory instead of throwing the ball around.

by **rodders** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:32 am

Stupid play again!!

by Gatts Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:32 am

send us a postcard jamie Very Happy

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:33 am

Ha I like that frustration from Heaslip when Bread of Seven shoves him into touch boxing

by manofgwent Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:33 am

Faletau is everywhere.
Lydiate just wonniur penalty!!!!!

Agree. Not sure if its due to the wind or something else

by **rodders** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:33 am

Bennett in at the side there FFS!

Very odd post.

by Guest Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:34 am

Hope the Doc is okay, he was down for a bit there, didn't see what happened to him though.

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:35 am

No Tommy! No silliness, like getting a try.... warning

No its because we are stupid!

Better from rog.

He's still on. The man's a tank.

by Guest Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:35 am

we are losing the ball FAR too easily in contact.

Need to improve on that.

by Guest Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:36 am

noooo Bennett is down hurt with his shoulder! NOT GOOD!

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:36 am

Benny's hurt his shoulder....he might be off.

by **rodders** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:37 am

Best playing very well for a man with one shoulder.

by eirebilly Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:37 am

What the F are Ireland playing at? How many times are they going to carry the ball into touch?

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:37 am

Ha! Pitch invasion from a carrier bag.

by HammerofThunor Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:37 am

Still very early days. Unfortunately for the rest of the us the days of only one good 40mins for the Welsh are behind us

EDIT: Seemingly

da iawn Warbs, brilliant.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:38 am

Lot's made of the back row battles pre match.

Ireland back row carrying hard as expected, but Welsh tacklers, including Lydiate and Faletau stopping them well so far. Warburton showing why he is now one of the best 7's in world rugby.

Really enjoying this game.

by **rodders** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:38 am

Great stuff from Warburton. Silly from ROG, he can afford to take contact.

by Guest Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:38 am

aaaaah and we didn't find touch!

by Cowshot Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:38 am

When Wales play badly, these boards are a rash of red saying how brilliant they are.

Now Wales are playing well, there are about two comments, both criticising players.

Laugh

by **rodders** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:39 am

Wales lying all over the ball at every tackle.

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:39 am

Well Ireland have had all the territory...we've hardly been out of the 22 for the last 20 minutes or so.

by Guest Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:39 am

have a better scrum this time please Wales. Please please.

by manofgwent Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:40 am

Great defence Wales. Well done big bird!!

by **rodders** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:40 am

Get Sexton on FFS!

To be fair rodders, so are Ireland. Big Donners has just flopped on it and sealed the ball off at least 3 times without being pinged for it.

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:41 am

Run with it!!! No kicking it away!!!

by **rodders** Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:41 am

Yes great stuff from BOD!

by Cari Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:42 am

Ha see Ryan Jones effing and jeffing there laughing

by Guest Sat 08 Oct 2011, 6:42 am

Great steal by BOD there got to say.

Oh no, Lukey is down! Oh Charteris mate, hope you're okay.
