2020 6 Nations - Ireland vs Wales match thread

That take from Conway was about as good as Sexton's kick was bad!

c.p.w.g.w

Sexton not fit to kit it seems... kicking leg strapped up and that kick was very poor

Póite is ref'ing the breakdown as he always does though, they're should be no surprises to the players, Wales know it anyway.

True, our job is to adapt and make sure we take full advantage of his interpretation of the laws

Way more accurate this week.
The only time Wales have relieved pressure is when Poite had given them questionable penalty decisions.

Shefwedfan

How bloody long did Poite have to wait?

bilston

Took Poite long enough to give that penalty

This is it

Jesus if he didn't call that they may walk off the field. Well done CJ

c.p.w.g.w

Was CJ supporting his weight?

AbusesToilets

Henshaw going well so far, really energy in his carries and looking for the offload .

lillielad

Fecking love Stander!!

Panda Killa

Great work from POM and CJ finished the job, great turnover

He was for the first min

The next 5 while we waited for Poite he wasn’t

It seems CJ stander has to be on the ball for 10mins before he can get a penalty. But great work by him. Seems to be hitting a rich vein of form.

JRant

CJ was on that ball for 5/6 seconds before the call was made. No wonder players are getting hurt at the breakdown

A-Train

Brilliant from Stander and Poite takes an age to call it

I reckon the TJ had to tell him to give it

Not at all. He’s learning how to play under Poite!

Dave_The_Sheep

Stander could've turned the ball over twice in the time it took Poite to give that. Great work.

AbusesToilets

Poite taking an age to call an obvious penalty

Absurd amount of time to call that turnover for CJ

Squidgy Black

Poor transfer there, giving away opportunities

JRant

Was Ryan’s arm not played there on that line out?

fitz

Eh, how was that not a penalty against Ball for interference in the lineout? Pretty blatant on the replay.

Locke_Lamora

Poor from James Ryan there. Toner on please.

Needed to get that ball straight to chest once he caught it. Simple error. Gave Ball a chance to dislodge it.

No, Welsh jumper played the ball which he's entitled to do, didn't knock Ryan's arm but got direct contact on the ball

eigrod

Lovely kick Johnny

And that's how the back row get injured the whole time. Leaving lads vulnerable for an age

Ball got his hand in there and knocked it outta Ryan's hand

After he caught it?

Shefwedfan

Henshaw MoM so far

beggars_bush

That's a fcukin joke

Bridge93

We’ve been so wasteful. Should be out of sight

This is it

Good darts so far just not making the most of the opportunities

Crooked Lineout.

kilns

We have so much possession but very sloppy so far

Panda Killa

Ryan needs to tighten his game up, he's making it too damn easy for Poite to penalise him

He has to go back for the forward pass. Has to.

Yeah, looked like Ball made contact with his arm as they came down.

A-Train

Ireland with so many unforced errors

bilston

As annoying as that is that was a bit of real class from AWJ

Bridge93

One chance they score after we blow chance after chance

Two forward passes there

Surely that's forward.

Squidgy Black

Pass from Jones might have been forward but that was great from Wales in fairness....

DJIMI TRARORE

FFS, 1 attack and they are ahead

dublinman1990

Ah ffs Biggar.

Sexton is right - it's the pass before the offload that was forward.
