    No need to play too much in our own half when down to 14. Silly.

    Beirne injured.

    That’s not good.

    There was no danger there.

    Stupid high tackle from Herring to start that, we should've kicked from our scrum and Ringrose shouldn't have tried to offload.

    Doesn’t matter now with the try but Barnes buying that penalty for falling over Henderson is pathetic

    That annoyed me. Honestly, where can he go? He’s getting up and the player jumps on top of him and falls over.

    A gutless box kick from Murray gets us in trouble.


    Who'd have thunk it?

    Ironically that came from being too adventurous and not booting the Gilbert off the ball.

    Whatever happened to retaining possession, rugby ball isn't a hot spud. Just a thought, mind.

    Barnes warned Wales after the very ruck that he was giving a free kick the next time they ignored the count and call of use it ... which they have done at every ruck since.

    No rolling away from the Welsh there. Should have been Irish penalty

    Would you cop on with the gutless talk, one thing rugby players are not is gutless.

    Yes retaining possession is clearly as easy as you make out. Not more likely to give away penalties or anything with a man down.

    He warned them about the 9 dummying the lift, not the time.

    Hoofing the ball away for absolutely no reason whatsoever is gutless rugby.

    Retain the ****ing possession.

    Beirne and Henderson playing very well together. Great work rate.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Are you watching the game at all? Our ball retention has been pretty impressive.

    It wasnt a use it call. it was about dummying at base.

    Has the referee “selective” vision?
