The importance of a good kick off. That was a cracking ko by Wales

vienne86 · 16-03-2019 02:50PM

Nice of the Wales lads to hold onto a few lads there in thge ruck

mangobob · 16-03-2019 02:51PM

Big test of character now. Horrendous start and 7 points down after 2 minutes. Lets see what this team is made of.

Wheres Me Jumper? · 16-03-2019 02:52PM

now we'll see what this Welsh defence is really made of.

razorblunt · 16-03-2019 02:52PM

Kearney presented with a gap and he steps out of it and into two men.

DellyBelly · 16-03-2019 02:52PM

Heals with a bad knock on there

Dave_The_Sheep · 16-03-2019 02:53PM

Thats what you want to do. Give Wales a confidence boost at the start of the game.

DellyBelly · 16-03-2019 02:53PM

Feck sake Ringer. Hold onto the ball

Ishmael · 16-03-2019 02:53PM

Dixon playing soccer!!

vienne86 · 16-03-2019 02:53PM

Scrum was great, which is promising.

Happy4all · 16-03-2019 02:53PM

Good effort Stockdale

Can I ask is there a set time for advantage, or is it done on how many phases they go through, ground taken up or where on the pitch it is, or the offence?

Wales had a long advantage there before the try. Ireland had one a minute later that seemed to only last a few seconds. These happens in most games. Is it at the referee's discretion or is there a point when it is definitely over?

One was a penalty. One was a knock on.

16-03-2019 02:54PM

Would have never backed Parkes to get Stockdale there

Wheres Me Jumper? · 16-03-2019 02:54PM

cudda been the try of the tournie.

dublinman1990 · 16-03-2019 02:54PM

Oh. Hard luck Stockdale. You would have got a try there.

Dubinusa · 16-03-2019 02:54PM

Ugh Ringrose.. ah feck Stockdale

Wales was penalty advantage as Ryan entered maul fromt he side in the ref's view. Penalty advantage generally allows teams to have a go at something then come back if unsuccessful.

Ireland's was for knock on. Generally only lasts for a phase or two.

PhlegmyMoses · 16-03-2019 02:55PM

That was deliberate from Adams

vienne86 · 16-03-2019 02:55PM

Good reaction after that start.

Welsh scrum half scragged Stockdale and threw him off his stride a bit.

Duggie2012 · 16-03-2019 02:55PM

Ref playing poor advantage rule on 2 occasions there. Gave no real advantage to ireland.

razorblunt · 16-03-2019 02:55PM

Mr Reliable with a great tackle. Doubt he’d have the has to catch him later in the game but he did there and that’s all that matters.

munsterlegend · 16-03-2019 02:56PM

Knocking on everything unfortunately.

Stockdale was slightly held up by Beard. Had he got 3 or 4 more yards without that Parkes would have been burnes.
