They could all do with more games; & at various times Georgia, & Romania have been better than Italy; so could legitimately claim a spot.
When?
Georgia i think has far higher potential to grow internally, it could easily overtake football there. I heard they got 100k supporters in for 1 domestic game. I would honestly give them 5 years in the 6N. Italy will never grow, football is the only sport there, anything else is just meh

Adam Beard just makes me laugh, tries to look tough and intimidating and fails spectacularly.

Wales look totally lost in Ireland. But still early days.

No surprise. Let's play somebody out of position. For the first time. Against Ireland. In Dublin.

What occurrence now results in a drop-out from the 22m? Or do they all restart from the goal line?

Only Balin is a bit iffy for the Irish at the moment.

Gibson Park is Ireland’s weak link, I just don’t understand why Cooney doesn’t get picked

Williams is not exactly impressing for Wales either.

I am not sure, i think he brings a lot of pace to Irelands game, agree though his passing needs some work

No way that was a clear release. Tackled players are supposed to be allowed to place the ball - that law is just completely ignored.

Entire Welsh front row's carrying into contact is poor. Presentation is so slow, Pepyer is reading it as legal steals. Even when not turning over, they are allowing Ire so slow every ruck down.

Ireland surely have a better 9 than Gibson-Park he's absolutely hopeless.

How the hell is that an Ireland scrum penalty. Porter completely sideways and on his face caused that.

Did I miss the rule change where flopping over the ruck is now legal.

Wales will be the happier team of the 2, Ireland should have been out of sight by now

I can’t work out if it’s Ireland butchering tries or Wales tackling like their lives depended on it. But all it needs is for a Welsh try out of the blue and the pressure on Ireland will be immense.

Poor quality game so far. Peyper is always a homer.

Passing, kicking, and decision making. He's a bag of shit today.

20min of brilliant rugby for Ireland but they failed to capitalize fully.

Wales are stuck in first gear and they are lucky that Ireland started losing their structure and became a bit cocky trying to run the ball from their 22s instead of looking for territory.

For Ireland, Sexton is dictating play well and that Australian poach of a winger is proving useful.

Gibson-Park has an obsessive compulsive tendency to raise his arms at every ruck. Disturbing.

Decision making has been the worst of a bad triple. When a chance is on he just passes to the nearest player he can see.

Peyper watches Furlong wrap both arms around the legs of a welsh player defending the maul, tackling him and collapsing the Irish maul, and penalises Wales. Embarrassing.

Only just tuning in. Has Peyper had a homer so far?

Wales are stuck in first gear
Implies this Welsh side has another gear. I'm not convinced.

Peyper has been awful for Wales so far.
