Ireland v Wales 6N Thread

[Kawazaki]

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

And some.

[Blackmac]

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.

He was too busy shouting at Wales 4 who was having no impact on the maul.

Peyper has been awful for Wales so far.

Naaa Wales have been awful for Wales so far

Both things can be true. It's not an either/or thing.

[Torquemada 1420]

Is it too soon to be suggesting Liam Williams is on the way down? Not quite Lee Byrne yet.

[Kawazaki]

The Sexton Oscar coming up.

[Blackmac]

That looked a bit dodgy from Adams. Will want to see that again

[Big D]

That's a card.

[Torquemada 1420]

That's a card.

Yup

[Blackmac]

That's a card.

Yellow. Just

[JM2K6]

Quality cheap shot

[I like neeps]

HIA for Sexton. If he's holding his head we have to be careful.

[PCPhil]

The Sexton Oscar coming up.

Wow. You’re on a mission today.

[Torquemada 1420]

Just f**king dim.

[Big D]

That's a card.

Yellow. Just

Yeah hadn't seen the replay at that point.

He's not going for the ball and it is a shoulder. Definite yellow.

[Blackmac]

Always good to see Sexton play these things down.

[ASMO]

Filthy Liam has been down for some a couple of seasons now

[GogLais]

Ffykin idiot. And the penalty reversed

[Blackmac]

HIA for Sexton. If he's holding his head we have to be careful.

[ScarfaceClaw]

HIA for Sexton. If he's holding his head we have to be careful.

Doesn’t necessarily mean there was any contact.

[petej]

If you are trying to hold up a player and end round the neck how does that work with high tackles?

[ASMO]

Now its getting ugly

[Blackmac]

HIA for Sexton. If he's holding his head we have to be careful.

Doesn’t necessarily mean there was any contact.

That's his point to be fair.

[fishfoodie]

That's more like how they played in the Autumn

[Torquemada 1420]

Not seen much of him recently but looking decidedly busted today.

[I like neeps]

Finally Wales being crap is translated to the six nations. Rough few years coming up.

[Hugo]

Christ, Ireland were dominant enough playing 15 aside.....

[petej]

Having to have a hia would discourage play acting.

[TheFrog]

That's a card.

Yup

Brainless by Adams. But the way Sexton milks it deserves a joint yellow.

[sockwithaticket]

Is it too soon to be suggesting Liam Williams is on the way down? Not quite Lee Byrne yet.

Not too soon in the slightest. He's been off his best for ages, he keeps picking up injuries and then being rushed back for international duty and it's doing him no favours.

[Torquemada 1420]

If you are trying to hold up a player and end round the neck how does that work with high tackles?

If you are Ireland, it's an admired choke tackle. If it's anyone else, it's a pen against for too high. We clear now?

Italy now hoping....

[Blackmac]

That is some quality goalkicking

I hope the various coaching staffs from other nations have a chat with refs about this...

[PCPhil]

If Wales get a converted try and Ireland a penalty I am spot on prediction so far.

It is noticeable how frequently they end up manipulating a played by his head/neck which is why I asked. Peyper will start giving Wales penalties now.

[TheFrog]

Set move from the maul by Wales, so obvious and such a slow execution, even an amateur side would read it....

The reason they do it is to prevent the ball carrier trying to drop his knee (which, BTW, pisses me off: you should not be rewarded there for trying to go off your feet) but it's totally illegal.

[Paddington Bear]

Peyper handed the Ireland reffing baton from Owens I see.

[TheFrog]

Williams is K.O. they should take him out.
