The script will turn to “how bad are wales” now

POM going off could be very bad news for Pivac. Even if they grind out a win it still won't look good against 14 men.

Subpopulus · 07-02-2021 04:50PM

Lads. It's Wales.

That will do ya Sexton

Sexy Sexton looks fit as a fiddle today...fingers crossed!

Great stuff

The advantage of being a man down in the back row, Means it’s harder for us to play 1 out rugby

Beirne is having an incredible game. Pack have been very good, it must be said. You'd be hard pushed to figure out who is down a man.

Beirne is playing out of his skin

I really dislike the camera work of the TV providers.

They were late to the lineout that we stole in the lead up to the try.

Scrabbel · 07-02-2021 04:51PM

Excellent stuff! Great reaction and clinical for the try.

Funny everyone slagging off VDF and now this happens.

Two quality carries there and the discipline to hold back from the white line fever.

He did brilliantly. He'd been brutal until then, I don't think that's being unfair on him.

Henshaw is really back to his best, great to see.

Lowe and Beirne growing into the game too.

Read through much of the thread, who/what is awec?

awec · 07-02-2021 04:51PM

Farrell has really fixed Henshaw. He’s not as big, he looks for gaps and he offloads.

No more bosh merchant Henshaw looking for the nearest man to run into. Long may it continue.

I agree its a red. That’s exactly what the rules says

I just think that when the refs look for mitigation it exists in the split second changes that are not seen on slow motion and the terrible body position of the defending player isn’t taken into account.

You hit someone in the head with your shoulder after coming in charging, your off. No debate.

So what if I’m a Leinster supporter? I made no reference to the clubs, I just said his passing was slow today. That’s a fair comment. Trying to delegitimise it by bringing in the provincial stuff is just silly.

So... Thats a no then ...

In the 10 minutes after POM went off Ireland looked in disarray. I was afraid of a hammering. But they are putting in some shift since then. It will be a long 2nd half with a man down and Wales always seem to better in the second half of games so I think it's still there for them.

But fair play to the Irish lads for the last 15 minutes. This has O'Connell's motivational finger prints all over it.
