Six Nations. First up - the Irish!

[Buggaluggs]

Looking forward to the game. Should be good - there's some talented backs out there.

[Sandydragon]

I’m looking forward to this. I’m optimistic that it will be an improved performance on the autumn internationals.

[Sandydragon]

Lydiate off injured after 12 mins. Bugger

[Sandydragon]

O’Mahoney you dirty bastard.

[Sandydragon]

Red card. He has form for this.

[francoisfou]

Always thought POM was lacking between the ears.

[normanski]

Scrum good,line out struggling. 6-0 up more optimistic.

[Sandydragon]

The line out is fricking dire.

[Sandydragon]

We need to grip this game again

[Sandydragon]

6 all now. We need some ball.

[Ross. S]

Jesus, we're shit

[Sandydragon]

Oh FFS. Our lineout let’s us down again!!

[Sandydragon]

Jesus, we're shit

Fair play to Ireland for scoring 13 points with a player down but seriously, this is a shocking effort by Wales.

[Sandydragon]

And penalties are starting to go against us.

[Sandydragon]

Tomos Williams is probably off now and Jonny Williams hasn’t reappeared. We’re racking up the injury stats.

You would think that Wales would control it being 6-0 and a man up. Getting beaten up without Lydiate. Very poor. Credit to Ireland by the way

[Buggaluggs]

That was poor.

[Sandydragon]

That was poor.

We need to come out with some passion and get thenIrish tackling. If they hold the ball and play 10 man rugby then being a man down won’t matter.

[Wallpaperman]

That was poor.

What we were worried about. Wales can’t get the ball off Ireland. And how often do they score before half time against Wales ?

[Wallpaperman]

Usually they score just after half time too...

[Buggaluggs]

Their 14 are way fresher than our 15. They've made 1/3 the tackles. Their bench is stronger especially with our mounting injuries. I can see this going 26-9

If Ireland win this comfortably, and it looks quite possible they will, Privac is toast.

[francoisfou]

C’mon Wales, get a grip!

[Buggaluggs]

I was comfy this morning knowing that however bad, it probably wouldn't be as bad as England. I may have been wrong!
