Great win for Wales

Another solid performance from Aberdare club man Tom Bowen on the left wing (my hometown club)

Nice to finally see some good young frontrow prospects coming through for Wales, tighthead Sam Scott demolished the Irish loosehead.
Heroic defensive performance won it for the Welsh youngsters, let's hope the senior side take note.

@Catogrande seems strange, a backrow of Wainwright/Morgan/Faletau would be by far our strongest potential trio.
I can understand wanting to involve Reffell to try and slow down Irish possession but Wainwright's all round game is far superior.

[Catogrande]

@pooler-fan

Yep. Wainwright a better 6 than Morgan and Morgan a better 7 than Reffel. Seems muddled thinking to me.

So Red/Green jerseys are no more as it's difficult for colour-blind viewers. OK, get that.

But now the home side get to keep their normal kit and the visiting side changes strip....another good tradition fucked.

[Victor Meldrew]

Wales owning the Oirish scrum.

[MiketheSnow]

Much better from Wales

Mee looks a tidy player.

[Victor Meldrew]

Oirish muller an easy chance.

[Victor Meldrew]

Ringrose in trouble. Yellow card.

[MiketheSnow]

At least

[Victor Meldrew]

Jonathan Davies to Nigel Owens: "Would you give a Red if you were in the bunker?"
Nigel Owens: "I'm not in the bunker"

Classic.

So Taavao gets red for a head clash with Ringrose.

Cane gets red in RWC final for an "absorbing tackle" on Kriel.

Porter gets a yellow for breaking Retallicks optical bone.

Kolisi gets yellow for smashing Savea in the head drawing blood from his nose.

Now Ringrose gets yellow for a clear head on head.

This stuff matters or the game has no credibility.

[MiketheSnow]

Ireland don't like it up 'em

[Victor Meldrew]

Outstanding D from Ireland

[Victor Meldrew]

...but Morgan scores under the bar.

[MiketheSnow]

Even if we lose we've served notice

[Jet]

How has Ringrose not been sent off. This is a disgrace.

We are being gas lit.

[Jet]

Oh he has been sent off.......fucking damn straight.
