Wales v Ireland 31/8/19

kuang1

Forgot all about it being Gatland's last game in Cardiff... Wales'll be up for this.

Hoping for a good showing from Marmion and Farrell today, I think they could push for a starting berth.

I think Farrell is already on the plane myself.
Marmion could be pushing for a starting spot imo.

Wales +2 at 10/11 is free money.

Really hope we see a big improvement today

shootermacg

Killer looks like he's being hitting the weights hard.

dublinman1990

Romain Poite is the ref today.

dublinman1990

We have a turnover within the 1st 2 minutes. We are doing OK aren't we?

bilston

Bright start.

Some nice touches for Carty and Addison and a good turnover from Stockdale.

For 2 minutes 30 seconds, rugbypass had no commentary feed. Best 2 and half mins I've ever watched.

Sanjuro

Do we often see Nucifora in the coaches box?

PinaKolada

Poor old Poite still hasn't figured out what to do with scrums other than pretend it's all grand.

sydthebeat

Decent start by Ireland

kuang1

Henderson wrapped up brilliantly there.

bilston

Good work by Henderson and Conan on the turnover

jammiedodgers

Ugh, stop laughing at everything Jamie Heaslip

Faugheen

Good start for Conan. Him and Henderson did well there.

No idea how we didn’t concede a penalty from that previous scrum though.

kuang1

We're already five times sparkier than last week.

bilston

Ireland look quite slick, nice pop inside from Carty to Stockdale.

Important kick for Carty to settle and continue a very impressive start from him

dublinman1990

Ireland are going for the 3 at the posts. This is a very encouraging 8 minutes from Ireland.

Faugheen

Look how much better we can do when you get the players to catch the ball on the run.

bilston

Yeah, really nice start by Carty

vienne86

Lovely start. Ireland looking SO much better than last week.

Happy4all

Positive start

bilston

Good defensive set by Ireland.

ScrubsfanChris

Very subdued atmosphere especially by Cardiff standards....

kuang1

POM very fast off the mark in defence there. Out to prove a point methinks.

razorblunt

Nice start by Addison and Carty.

bilston

Aki caught in two minds there. The pass was a bit behind him but Aki probably could have recovered the situation.

Set up was decent though.

Shefwedfan

The combinations in midfield look good.....more attacking.....

Still some messy errors

ScrubsfanChris

Looked like a Welsh hand knocked that out of Akis hand ..

troyzer

Clean shaven Bundee Aki is really weird.

bilston

Great tackle by Addison

ScrubsfanChris

Jesus..... Stockdale caught out again!

Not as weird as he looked last week

errlloyd

Sheer amount of scrums....

You see you can make that statement but realistically you haven't a clue what defensive pattern Ireland are playing.

Anyway it was a great tackle by Addison

We had it covered though, I'd not be too harsh on him that time.

ScrubsfanChris

POM would have two turnovers already if it weren't for ref playing a Welsh advantage.

Larbre34

Decisive stuff from Addison, good to see

troyzer

Very poor from Addison there.

dublinman1990

So we are all square at 3-3.

bilston

Addison (and more importantly Joe) will not like that

troyzer

Ryan's linespeed. Holy ****.

Squidgy Black

Addison looks really up for this, and seems to be flying considering it's his first game back since January.

troyzer

Outrageous try.

dublinman1990

Yes. G'wan Stockdale.

vienne86

Ah that was fabulous.

eigrod

That’s a brilliant try. Kilcoyne & Conway wow.

bennyl10

Killer Conway and Stcokdale.
Really good all round!

PinaKolada

Fantastic from Killer, Carty and Conway.
