    Big test of character now. Horrendous start and 7 points down after 2 minutes. Lets see what this team is made of.

    Can I ask is there a set time for advantage, or is it done on how many phases they go through, ground taken up or where on the pitch it is, or the offence?

    Wales had a long advantage there before the try. Ireland had one a minute later that seemed to only last a few seconds. These happens in most games. Is it at the referee's discretion or is there a point when it is definitely over?


    Ignore*

    Over to the questions thread with this one.

    One was a penalty. One was a knock on.

    Wales was penalty advantage as Ryan entered maul fromt he side in the ref's view. Penalty advantage generally allows teams to have a go at something then come back if unsuccessful.

    Ireland's was for knock on. Generally only lasts for a phase or two.

    Welsh scrum half scragged Stockdale and threw him off his stride a bit.

    Mr Reliable with a great tackle. Doubt he’d have the has to catch him later in the game but he did there and that’s all that matters.
