    Great start. Not the clearest cut try you'll ever see but it's what comes up on that board that counts.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Hard going when you give away a run of penalties.

    Ireland just trying to force it a bit too much when they get down their end.

    I was thinking the same thing. So many errors from both sides in that half but they look much more threatening. We will need to produce the best possible form and hope they continue to mess up if we are to have any chance of success but I can't see that happening.

    Ireland's kicking was pretty good that half, better than England yesterday anyway.

    They need to keep it tight for the start off the second half, some effort by them so far anyway considering Wales were 26 nil down at ht when they played them.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Whatever happens in the final stages this has been a hell of an effort from Ireland. Some heroic defending at times.

    I know we can sometimes get sick of the gallant losers tag but that really was a bloody good effort against a team that considers that their national game and who were playing on their own patch. Wales got smashed 50-6 and there were plenty tipping a similar outcome for ourselves. Instead we made a real good go of it and weren't too far away from nicking it. I'm proud of the team for that effort. Hopefully they have earned a few new fans of the sport in the country.

    Ireland would give anyone in Europe and tier 2 sides a good game if they could just get the handling errors down a bit. Play anywhere near how they have first two games and they should beat Wales.

    Going to be another long 80 minutes for Wales today I fear. Fiji with an early lead.

    Edit: all square again.

    Edit again: Fiji back in front!

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Not a league fan but finding it impossible to find any match report on any Irish media. Very poor coverage for an Ireland team competing at a world cup.
    But websites like the42 will be all over some irrelevant NFL story as soon as it breaks. Priorities like.
