Team -vs- Ireland

[Wallpaperman]

How is that only 16-6 ?

[Graigwen]

Carre off on 40min. Scrum immediately rock solid.

[normanski]

Thank goodness Wyn Jones is on

[Wallpaperman]

Really feel for Carre, but you are not wrong

[Graigwen]

In the first two scrums Ireland got penalties from Carre. It looked like a strength issue rather than anything technical.

However, Porter was then penalised for clearly pulling Carre down.

I would have pulled Carre off as well.

[normanski]

Last scrum looked steadier.

[Graigwen]

Also, why are we so slow to the breakdown. Halfpenny was having to get involved!

Faletau has done a lot of work.

We play like a team that has not been coached. It may not matter too much today but we had better get it sorted quick.

[Wallpaperman]

Faletau has done more than he did in the whole match against Scotland. Maybe a solid scrum can provide a platform in the second half

It’s hard to reconcile this team to theGS side of 2019.

We need Dee on for Elias and Ball to give us some grunt.

I still not despondent but the Shiraz is getting to me.

[Graigwen]

Centres are trying hard but not really working together.

It is difficult to decide why we are so slow andf generally crap.

We certainly are not solving problems so far today.

[Wallpaperman]

Not sure what they had to drink at half time

[Buggaluggs]

Dang it. I tuned in late. Missed all the welsh tries.

[switchskier]

Is it just me or did Wales not actually have hands on the ball at all for that penalty? Seems to becoming a bit of a thing to grab the player and make it seen like they're holding on.

[Wallpaperman]

Pretty good since half time. Ball looking hungry for work

[normanski]

25 - 9 that’s about it.

[Wallpaperman]

25 - 9 that’s about it.

Yep

[normanski]

25 - 9 that’s about it.

Yep

Looks like we had the wrong starting side.

[Ross. S]

Its like being under Gareth Jenkins again. What is it about ex Scarlets coaches? Do well at Llanelli and turn to shit for Wales

[normanski]

We’re dumb and dumber

[normanski]

17 penalties we’ve given away

[normanski]

And a second try to Ireland

[Wallpaperman]

Better from Wales in the second half, but they lost it 16-3, as opposed to 16-6 in the first half.

[Wallpaperman]

Well played Ireland, by the way

[Buggaluggs]

I suppose we should be grateful that we don't have AIs against South Africa and NZ
