Wales v Ireland 31/8/19

razorblunt · 31-08-2019 2:50pm

Cracker!

Sanjuro · 31-08-2019 2:50pm

Killer and Conway want those seats on the plane.

Utopia Parkway · 31-08-2019 2:50pm

Great from Kilcoyne, Carty and Conway there.

bilston · 31-08-2019 2:50pm

Ahhh great stuff.

Firstly brilliant take from Addison, making up for the earlier mistake.

Great burst from Kilcoyne.

Carty oozed class, talk about time in the ball, great line by Conway, could have given it to Farrell, gave it to Stockdale, sure he needed the try for his confidence.

Faugheen · 31-08-2019 2:51pm

Top class by Conway there.

Conan is everywhere. Having a massive game so far.

clsmooth · 31-08-2019 2:51pm

Stockdale with short back and sides > Stockdale with long back and sides

vienne86 · 31-08-2019 2:51pm

Nice kick from Carty for icing on the cake.

Squidgy Black · 31-08-2019 2:51pm

That came very close to Farrell messing that all up.

Wegians89 · 31-08-2019 2:52pm

Think Ryan and Conan add so much to the pack

vienne86 · 31-08-2019 2:52pm

Defence much sharper this week. Some excellent tackles.

dublinman1990 · 31-08-2019 2:53pm

That was a wonderful start by Ireland. If they do more of this for the rest of the match. I would say that thinking of places for new players on the seats for Japan is a very real possibility today if they keep this up. Joe is doing good here with his tactics so far but I don't know how Wales will respond to Ireland's progress as we go through the later stages of it.

PinaKolada · 31-08-2019 2:53pm

Feel bad for last week's players. Wales arent even at 10% of the speed and aggression England played at.

Much easier for this Irish team to play against and they're looking leagues more organised, sharp and dangerous because of it.

Haven't noticed him tbh

PTH2009 · 31-08-2019 2:53pm

Quite content with this performance

Reckon Joe must of gave the whole squad a massive bollocking during the week

Yeah what was he thinking running a support line to a player on the break. Tut tut.

This is a fair point.

There maybe something in this.

Last week's XV broadly new they were all going to Japan. The same can't be said for many of this week's side. In terms of motivation that may be a bit of a factor

Akrasia · 31-08-2019 2:55pm

Completely different levels of intensity today but the players look a lot sharper all the same

lawrencesummers · 31-08-2019 2:56pm

Conan very quiet, Carthys tackling is excellent, Aki doing a lot of work, Addison having a rusty start

troyzer · 31-08-2019 2:57pm

Can't see Larmour making the plane.

Addison, Conway and Farrell are all competing with him for only one or two spots.

You'd have to think Jordan Larmour is getting nervous watching this.

Or they’ve had a normal week of match preparation rather than having just returned from a preseason beasting camp

You might want to watch the game to be honest.

ongarite · 31-08-2019 3:00pm

That's a bad miss.

troyzer · 31-08-2019 3:01pm

That'll sting Wales.

Very cheap try.

Sanjuro · 31-08-2019 3:01pm

The Stockdale Redemption.

vienne86 · 31-08-2019 3:01pm

Ah Stockdale, you gem!

corny · 31-08-2019 3:01pm

Some finish.

Larbre34 · 31-08-2019 3:01pm

Ah yeah. So long as he's scoring more than he's conceding....!

ongarite · 31-08-2019 3:01pm

That man just knows how to score

dublinman1990 · 31-08-2019 3:01pm

Holy ****. 2 tries for Stockdale. Wow.

After the Welsh nerves at the posts. We will take that.

razorblunt · 31-08-2019 3:01pm

Anti-Samson scores again!

Wegians89 · 31-08-2019 3:01pm

Kilcoyne looking very good.

Haircut working wonders for stockdale

Happy4all · 31-08-2019 3:02pm

Stockdale has some engine

Hobosan · 31-08-2019 3:02pm

Wales miles in from the side at the previous ruck. Justice served!

bilston · 31-08-2019 3:03pm

Stockdale is the Kevin Keegan Newcastle of Rugby. Concedes two, scores six.

Burkie1203 · 31-08-2019 3:03pm

Linespeed in defence making huge difference.

mangobob · 31-08-2019 3:03pm

Arch Poacher. Beautiful.

Very poor there.....

dublinman1990 · 31-08-2019 3:04pm

Good lord. That was unlucky by Stockdale.

Wales compared to England week is like playing a club rugby team

Beechwoodspark · 31-08-2019 3:05pm

Stockdale is just great when it's a race

mark_jmc · 31-08-2019 3:05pm

Heaslip- “little chip & cheese”

Larbre34 · 31-08-2019 3:06pm

This is a very different Ireland in both respects and this experimental Wales team are a million miles off a full-bore England.

However, those one-on-ones for seats on the plane are already crystallising remarkably.

troyzer · 31-08-2019 3:06pm

Wales have no attacking structure. They were targeting the 10 channel earlier, now they seem to be trying to swing it outside before it dies at 13.

I have no idea what their plan is.

bennyl10 · 31-08-2019 3:07pm

PoM doing what Pom does.
2 really nice turns so far

Stop moaning ffs · 31-08-2019 3:07pm

No expert but we’re cutting them up. Wales are scrambling in the chase

Is there a mad genius plan here
