    Barnes has been generally fine with odd dodgy decision. Our poor decision making and some braindead decisions have gifted a very poor Wales this.

    Yeah I wouldn’t put this on Barnes. Some poor calls, but too many of our players have made poor mistakes.

    This is really really poor. One of the worst half of Irish rugby I’ve seen. So many things wrong.

    In fairness..incredible performance down a man away.

    Perspective needed too.

    I've been saying it all along. Ireland at best are an average side ..never consistent enough to be a good team. Too many old heads out there. How sexton is still playing I don't know

    I’d card AWJ for that. Cynical.

    Wales and England have gone backwards in comparison. France and possibly Scotland are the only teams that have gone forward since the WC. COVID has hardly helped anyone.

    I questioned Farrell safe appointment when it happened ; the decision was made too soon, should have thought outside the box , a Cullen/Lancaster would have been better

    Stop the lights .. Barnes penalises Wales at their own ruck!

    Cmon Ireland. The most frustrating part for me is that we've seen some real bright moments in this game. Keenan, Henshaw, Beirne, Lowe, Stander and Henderson have been great. Just those decisions at the wrong time is killer.

    To be fair huge effort by the team if POM didn't commit his act if stupidity, we win by 20

    This has been a really impressive performance from a team down to 14 tbh. Some silly mistakes, but that was always going to be the case when down a man.
