Wales v Ireland 6N
-
Ha Liam Williams looked like he was moving in slow-mo there.
-
That is a soft yellow. Wouldn’t have even given a penalty.
-
Ireland a bit crap in the 2nd but wales insisted on scrupulously looking the gift horse in the mouth. Ireland with the bonus try and ease away.
-
Ireland didn't really have to get out of 1st gear in this match. Gats the great redeemer will have a lot of redeeming to do.

They're the 6N team I try and support, but Wales have been crap. Boys against men at time today.
EDIT: Think Karl Dickson has had a good game overall.

Warburton makes a lot of sense. I'd rather have him than Tipuric out there.

The biggest change Gatland needs to make in his second tenure is to eradicate our slow start
We failed to capitalise on good, created opportunities because we were always chasing the game
Hawkins was excellent
The 14 pt killed us
Did Ireland get any YC? Only saw highlights
One thing can be said though
Ireland won’t win the 6N let alone the WC
-
Some fucking odd refereeing in that game. I hope the luck of the Irish runs out in the upcoming quarter final.

Joking aside you do have to wonder how much player movement to countries not of their birth/origin has created a more level playing field in international rugby.
Scotland would have done just fine with someone born and bred on the left wing. I don’t think there’s much in it.

It looked like my club, who don't train together as a XV often enough. First half it is all pretty ordinary then we're warmed up and often outscore sides in the second half.

IMHO Porter should have received one for diving on the player (Williams The Fullback) after he scored.
Ireland were on a warning late in the first half for pissing about at ruck time.
