    Some of the players should be really proud but on top of having to carry the slack from POM they then had to carry players on the pitch as well. Loads of 8 and 9 performances mixed with loads of 3 and 4s.

    This coaching ticket is under serious pressure and has 9 months to get things right.

    1 of the worst Irish displays in a long time

    Utterly stupid comment. 14 men for 65 min and lost by a score.

    Well that was heartbreaking, even with 14.

    Let just do what’s inevitable and start giving Harry Byrne and/or Healy game time. Shocking stuff from burns with that kick, absolutely criminal.
    Quite sickening that Wales won that, they were utter cat and we just handed it to them.
    If they were good it would be easier to take.

    Apart from that he was OK. Not the only one with kicking issues today.

    Just a couple of plays before that he made one of the worst passes I’ve ever seen that gave up every meter made by Ringrose.

    It was a shocking couple of minutes.

    Tipiric way off his feet on the ringrose break, Barnes is absolutely blind.

    Clear YC and penalty on the 22. Right in front of Barnes. Shame.

    That's absolutely shocking from a professional player wouldn't expect that from a schoolboy, it wasn't even close to the corner

    Next time I find myself asking why we're still persisting with Sexton at his age, I'll have to remember that.

    Start Beirne at 6 next week and have Ruddock on the bench. At fly half I'd be inclined to call up Carty. Give him the bench spot at least.

    Serious case of the jitters for Burns, some really awful mistakes in his cameo.

    So much to be positive about but some seriouly poor decisions from couple players at critical point in the game, and Wsles capitalised, Wales are a very average team and should hold no fears for us next time with 15 players on the pitch

    Just so disappointing.

    Had a chance of a line out and burns does that.

    didn’t deserve to win overall though

    This is as bad a situation that Irish rugby has been in, in the 21st century.

    Grim days.

    This is one match you can say a second of stupidity cost us. O'Mahony should get a rollicking for this, but hardly the end of the road for him.

    Can't fault Ireland for effort, but indiscipline and errors were off the Richter scale.

    It doesn't say a whole lot for Wales. What a mess they made of closing out the game.

    You can't over look POM's sending off. But I don't want to be too hard on him. He'll really beat himself up over it and it's something you don't like seeing happen to any player.

    We're all over the shop though.

    He was absolutely atrocious. Kicked out on the full. Threw a pass after that last ring Rose break to nobody and we lost 20m and then misses a simple touch. I feel sorry for the lad but he was awful

    Let's ignore all the dire Murray stuff to dive in on a player might have delivered for a win that O'Mahony's stupidity really put beyond us.

    To be fair, Ireland had two forward passes in the last few minutes that weren't called. Would have been a travesty if they ended up winning.
