The intercept try and the penalties crippling Wales.

Anyone who thought Pivac was the problem needed their head examined. Wales just don't have the players right now.

The score is a fair reflection of the two teams in that half

Feels a NZ v Wales autumn international this one.

How the hell is Francis still playing international rugby? He must hve packed on another 2 stone of fat since he left Exeter.
A-WJ finally looks fit for the knackers yard as well.

He's been ready for a couple of seasons already imo.

Both teams seem intent to play positive attacking rugby and there was quality in the passages of each.
Good enough for me to enjoy this game.

2 dumb penalties by Porter in as many minutes.

If he had an English granny we’d have him.

Don't cut away from the melee! Useless tv director.

Correction. 3 dumb penalties by Porter in as many minutes. Twat.

You don't often see the restart penalty nowadays

And the reason for it is pretty rare too. Generally it seems refs are happy with an anything goes approach to attempts to tackle or stop a try scorer in goal.

That wasn't a penalty

Being generous then, just the 2 pens that led to the try then?

Liam Williams

Can we penalise both? Williams may have been clipped a touch late, but he's been pretty dramatic about it.

Posted: **Sat Feb 04, 2023 3:35 pm**

The way Williams reacted to that I thought he'd been knocked out for a second. Very surprised to see it was actually a glancing blow from a player pulling his arm out of the way.

Penalty only for that is generous.

Sexton never fails to let us all down

Posted: **Sat Feb 04, 2023 3:49 pm**

Stop standing up in the tackle

Posted: **Sat Feb 04, 2023 3:49 pm**

What the fuck is Williams meant to do there, he had no time to react to Sexton driving up towards him.

Posted: **Sat Feb 04, 2023 3:53 pm**

Sexton has zero shame.

If I was Ireland I’d be a bit concerned about this 2nd half performance.

It's been appalling by their standards. Lost all structure.

Casey has just crawled forward in the counter ruck and got away with something Wales were penalised for twice.

What happened to the kiwi guy Carbery?

Lost a lot of time through injury, Byrne is the next cab off the rank now

Perhaps Dickson just got fed up with being screamed at by Welshies at every breakdown and decided to let Ireland get away with a little something something.

Up on their line just now one of the Welsh was screaming "HOLDING!" before a Welsh player was even in the ruck.

Posted: **Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:02 pm**

Have to say that Keenan has been class for a while now.

It's brutal from both sides to be honest. Both always the worst at it.

Posted: **Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:05 pm**

Bit of a damp squib of a game sadly. Not sure why but it just never seemed to take off.

Posted: **Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:08 pm**

Ireland looked fantastic for 30 minutes, but there is a bit of hope for the other sides in that Wales managed to get back into he game, if not on the score board

Posted: **Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:10 pm**

The old men of Wales were so poor that Gatland must be harbouring thoughts of relegating them to the dirt trackers for the next Lions tour
