Ire v Wal rte 2 mar 6 26

That's some defensive set by Wales. They've not been found wanting for effort, that's for sure.

I don't mean to be a backseat mod but can we give the Crowley/Prendergast chat a rest ffs. Just ruins every thread.

Nice stuff, bit more respectability on the board

Get in. We needed that. Well taken by Crowley.

If we’re playing this offloading game in contact I think we need Lowe and McCarthy out there.

We don't seem to be winning the gain line as we did against England. Credit to Wales fronting up.

One was a poor tactical decision. Not sure what Crowley was doing there. Has been better since

Fair play, nicely taken try. Seems as if Ireland have upped the intensity in the last ten minutes. Big carries by Ryan and Timoney bringing some directnesss to things and stressngthe Welsh line a bit. On criticism of Crowley is that he often picks the pass thats to the guy who is at the point of the defence's spear, meaning that the carrier can't bring any footwork to make a yard or two.

Dreadful stuff

Take his front row union membership off him. Absolutely shocking behaviour.

Awful by Balacoune

Fantastic try by the big man.
