    That’s the second time Crowley has kicked it too low. He got away with that one but he needs to make sure of it first and foremost.

    What was Finlay trying to do there? Got away with it again.

    Crowley's starting to get a bit sloppy now and taking big risks

    Regardless of whether we score here, going to the corner is incredibly stupid.

    And we don't score. Why on earth turn down a kick in front to go 3 scores ahead?! We're all over the place and need to steady the ship... And the BP is already secured!

    Why would you box kick into a wind like this? Baffling.

    Missed last weeks game, thought I read this years crop wasn’t the best? Look fairy impressive this evening.

    Big improvement on last week but also Wales have been fairly dire

    We look OK this evening. Wouldn't put us above that. Keep in mind this Welsh side didn't even get a LBP at home to Italy.

    What’s with all the welsh lads playing for English clubs? What’s happening to the regions? Or are there an abnormally large number of English born welsh men in the squad?


    Really poor second half this

    Tom Stewart is bloody impressive, Ulster should try and get him involved as soon as possible, outstanding player

    What’s the point in sub half backs if you’re not going to use them when your starters are clearly wrecked?

    There's four lads in the 23 (Llyod, Costelow, John and Griffin) playing in England and all but Griffin were born in Wales and moved to English schools for sixth form.
    Rest of the squad are playing with the regions.

    A win is a win, but disappointing second half. Concentration dropped big time.

    Hernan had a quietly effective game. I’d say his tackle count was up in the high teens

    You'd have to be disappointed but someone like Corkery is very young. If he was 1 month younger he could play 2 more years at this level.

    I think the weather made a big difference in both halves. We possibly handled it slightly better than the Welsh overall but just about.

    Ah Corkery has started at 10 for Leinster As. He’s well able for this level.

    He’s better than the last 10 seconds.

    There’s not a whole lot between Finlay and Murphy as well. Let the boys play.

    EDIT: Mind you Nucifora being there and looking over McNamara’s shoulder probably didn’t help.

    Thought Stewart, McCann, Finlay, Crowley, Dan Kelly and Andrew Smith were all very good.
