    Sexton looks 10 years younger tonight. Great to see.

    That's absolutely brilliant from Ireland. Great kick from Sexton and furious follow through from Ireland.

    Finally....for the first time in ages we have put a short grubber kick in behind and look at the havoc it caused. England did a number on us last year with their kicking in behind....great option to have.

    Been impressed with JGP. Not doing anything flashy but rather focusing on getting the ball out to the first receiver quickly. It's not allowing the Welsh defence to align properly.

    If you could distinctively describe methods of try-scoring and bet on its outcome. We'd be like 1/5 favorite multi-phase pick and drive inside their 5m line.

    If we can just get another 9 or 10 kiwis/saffers out there lads we'll be well on our way to a WC final.

    Absolutely.
    Hopefully he is not getting injured.

    Yup, that's where Murray lacks. No fast ball, and he's had all of the running coached out of his game.

    Make them think twice about the rush defence.

    Is Billy Burns not Freddie Burns brother? Is he not English?

    This is a huge chance for Burns, can't imagine he'd thought he'd get more than a courtesy 10 minutes at the end

    Balls. And Sexton was looking sharper than he had in a while, mixing things up way more than he has in ages. At least we get a proper look at Burns.

    Sexton gone, hamstring.

    Huge opportunity for Burns, we have wales on the ropes - I hope he puts the hurt on them.

    Unfortunate for Sexton but it doesn't look too serious. Personally I'm glad to see him rested ahead of Leinster's CC games and force Ireland to play without him and blood 10s.

    Unfortunate there. If POM doesn't knock on we have quick ball in the Welsh 22.

    I've seen hamstring injuries recovered from within a week. It's a big muscle but when it goes you feel it and if you are sensible you back right off. Hopefully it's relatively minor.

    Good game for BB to make his debut. Ireland are dominant, just not really reflected on the scoreline.

    I think the whole game so far has an eye on the future

    And to be fair, POM doesn’t need an armband to show leadership

    you cant have your captain looking for a fight at every ruck anyway.

    Agreed, but I don’t think POM has done that at every ruck

    After having our pack bossed around a lot in recent times we need a bit of fight.

    It's knowing where the line is, judging the ref
