    Can’t help but feel that attack will be a story of the game come full time.

    That’s a high tackle

    Williams should be off. That was reckless and dangerous. But he's Welsh and Barnes is reffing so not going to happen today.

    Ringrose seemed to get a head smash.

    Surely that should be reviewed?

    Off is a bit much.. poor technique that he paid for with a HIA.

    But it should have been a kickable penalty

    We are so static. Need runners to show and actually run.

    The backline movement is just poison. Not committing men, running sideways, aimless passing to the wing, getting in each other’s way.

    Annoying thing is Wales are very average today.

    POM knew exactly what he was doing - elbow in an unnatural position, leading and raised up to the horizontal. Looks like he was really beating up on himself as he was walking off there. Sad way to end (probably) a great Ireland career.

    Why is Earls so wide when Ireland are a man down? He's effectively useless.

    Ringrose very lucky he didn't come off any worse from that collision.

    Get off the line quickly and Ireland go backwards. It really is so easy to defend.

    Reminder that personal abuse of players will not be tolerated. No excuses - warnings issues going forward. You should have all read the charter we shouldn’t need to remind you of the rules

    Nonsense. His passing has been poor, sniping at the ruck has been good. Not every comment is provincial crap.

    This is pretty awful stuff. All the usual pre season hype and this happens.

    Only 3 points down if Sexton kicks this, not too bad considering down to 14 and we get to half time that close
