Nice run by Trimble but shocking from Ireland at the breakdown.

Ireland have upped a gear but Wales are looking dangerous when they build up pressure through phases.

Now that is how you drive a lineout. Quick set and push on before the defending team is set. Excellent

Very well executed maul, shift the weght to the blibside and gather momentum immediately.

Great score

Ireland playing very well, very high intensity. Wales playing with a lack of intensity in attack, plus we can't compete at the breakdown.

C'mon Wales, up your game.

What are Wales doing? They should be lined up and shot after the game, they're playing like they want Ireland to win!

Ireland just doing the basics, set piece, line-out ruck and maul, not giving pens away.

Wales no awareness

Good shout, its always been a strength of ours but neglected in the last few years. Really going well over the past few games.

Try 2 for Ireland coming up, Wales couldn't learn to counter the maul if their mothers' lives depended on it. Ireland just need to carry on what they're doing and they're home free. Pathetic Wales steam furious Crying or Very sad
