    And no way would we deserve it or be able to handle the pressure of it. So really hope we dont get it

    So luke mcgrath misses a tackle that costs us a try, minutes later he makes a brilliant try saving tackle. People comment on both... Perhaps look up the definition of "fickle"!

    Well it’s more the fact that it means we’ve imploded again. 19 up against 14 men and we’ve been totally outplayed

    Score aside I wish ireland could find this level of heart and concentration in the second half. Wales own this. We can’t it seems.

    In fairness to Wales, they really stepped up after half time.

    2nd half appears to be wiping out any restored confidence

    This is another very worrying second half performance against a complete second team from Wales.

    We haven’t had possession apart from that 5 minutes of scrums and never had any sustained pressure in attack through moves from our backs.

    Perhaps don't be taking personal offence to a post with several users posts quoted showing how quick opinions were changing. If anything Carry was more responsible.

    The subs, in the majority being the first choice too.
    An absolute clusterfûck of a situation

    Wales were probably always going to improve though.....playing at home and on a long unbeaten home run

    Best has won two turnovers since coming in.

    Much bigger issues in this game. Where is Tadhg Beirne for example?

    We’ve been abysmal since we scored. Thrown the top ranking away.

    In fairness, if we had achieved it I would be seriously uncomfortable with being number 1 in the world based on what we have shown this year. We are blatantly not the best side in the world at the moment. Not even remotely. It would have been a farce.

    Today has had its encouraging moments, but the reality is a scratch welsh team have us on the ropes and we have collapsed. We are struggling to hold with 5 minutes left and could easily lose a game that we should have dominated. Not good. Not good at all.

    Bad bad second half. Look worryingly out of ideas with ball in hand. Fair play to the Welsh though they have come out all guns blazing in the last half hour or so

    It's a bit ridiculous that these games even count for world ranking points.

    According to some on Twitter Beirne has been amazing. I think Beirne has played himself off the plane.

    Oh no offence taken.
    I'll confess that I'm a pedant. Fickle doesn't appropriately summarise what was going on is all.



    And it's Carty. ;)

    I dont disagree that some names have been absent but you cant say its just a coincedence that we are in complete control until they made the changes. And I just dont see Best being a leader

    Hard to overstate what an irrelevance world rankings are for Ireland.

    Don’t think we know what is our first team anymore. So many players out of form.
