Ire v Wal rte 2 mar 6 26

Diabolical defence, JGP missed an initial tackle to let them get the linebreak. Balacoune should have done way better. How slow is Jamie Osbourne off the mark?

Wow we need to wake up pretty fast

Alex Mann is 22 tackles made, 2 missed in that half, unreal workrate.

Poor by Ireland. Have tried to play all the rugby and have a 2 point lead to show for it. Just all feels a bit too hectic and rushed. The last play we had before half time was questionable. Why not go through the phases and go in with a 9 point lead?

Could and probably should be 21-3, but no, it's 12-10. One try chalked off due to just bad luck with the knock on, but the rest is down to atrocious mistakes across the board.

Baloucoune won't enjoy the Monday morning video analysis. I get that Osborne is on the man outside but you have to adjust there.

Tadhg Furlong really has turned into a useless waste of space on a rugby pitch

No better sight than a big guy try.

Reminds me of the huge O-Line lads in NFL that intercept and suddenly find themselves in an ocean of space only to run out of gas.

That was a huge moment. We went from potential 14-0 ahead to 7-3 and Wales feeling they’re in a game.

Zero control at half back. Trying to make things happen too individually.

Wales are retaining the ball well for long periods in attack. We were humming and then that try got disallowed and then some errors have crept in, sloppy passes, intercept, and they've taken their points. Never give a sucker an even break as George Hook was fond of saying.

Attack again shown to be absolutely dreadful. No penetration, Crowley is standing still when he receives the pass off the ruck. Kills momentum with that high welsh defence. England were just truly shocking.

England game looks like an aberation. This is the fifth poor half out of seven this year

Crowley is a weak kicker in extremely poor form. Only so much a coach can do.
