6N 2024 : Ireland v Wales

[MiketheSnow]

Gatland not messing about

Going with form and youth

[booboo]

I've heard of most of those blokes (nit counting bench).

Mann and Winnet are unfamiliar names.

Will have Stan back on the weekend so might be able to watch ...

[NTA]

@MiketheSnow hard to see anything but an Irish win tho.

[Victor Meldrew]

@MiketheSnow

The young team hasn't done too badly so far this year. Might push the Irish.

Definitely.

If we can keep it within 20 and do the basics right then that's a result for this squad.

Looking at the respective sides, it's looking like a big Irish win.
I'd be very surprised if Ireland don't score 40+ points this afternoon.

[Victor Meldrew]

Wales D is awesome. Ireland's support play equally good,

[Billy Tell]

Sheehan is a savage hooker. Such a good player.

[Billy Tell]

Wales are really not good enough so far.

[pooler fan]

@Billy-Tell we lack physicality hugely in this side, but plenty of endeavour. But if you're playing a physically stronger side it's going to be a long afternoon.

[Victor Meldrew]

Ref trying to keep the game moving. No mucking about. Like it.

[Victor Meldrew]

Good use of the TMO - checked with his Assistant first.

[Billy Tell]

Kiwis on the scoreboard for Ireland again.

[Victor Meldrew]

Winnert impressive as is Crowley.

[sparky]

Ireland far too good for the other 6 Nations teams this year.

Their Operation Grand Slam is looking unstoppable this time around.

Thought he was poor

Missed so many off the ball taking outs, blocking, and forward passes
