Jack of all trades, master of none at 15 and a newly born baby to replace Furlong. Sticking with Wales to shade this.

Is there some injury to Bealham and/or O'Toole?

Seems odd to be parachuting Jager in there.

Yeah but Gatland.

Plus The big Welsh TV Money boyos will be splashing the cash in Dublin, no doubt a brown envelope finds its way to the officials' locker room.

Should be an easy win for Ireland. In reality this is a very poor Wales team with barely pro level players like Costello making the team.
Not to mention an awful front row and a back row denuded of any real power.

Yet it'll be a tight game and you'll be bitching about the ref "deciding" the result.

It won't be tight at all. Wales best player is not even starting today, for some strange reason Rollands is on the bench.
We have a number of players who need to retire and a number of players barely pro level.
I'll not stoop your level with fantastical personal insults.
Have a great day.

This is not going to be pretty. Ireland will put a huge score on this welsh team.

Wales to defend heroically then on a break get a penalty to win 1-0.

Ireland look decidedly complacent.

At this rate they might even get done for flopping straight over the top at the breakdown.

That Welsh scrum is slight less robust than a wet piece of tissue paper.

Wales' defence has actually been pretty good, but it feels like the pressure is building and cracks are appearing

Watching Ireland in this Six Nations is like watching a nature documentary with a wildebeest trying to hold off a pack of lions. You know it will put up a game fight but the outcome is inevitable.
