Rugby 2016 6N

We've learnt that we still need to sort out our flankers. Faz is a bit slow (both mentally and physically, and that the Scots are even worse than us.

[TheGreatSoprendo]

Seems our players are also fairly adept at getting injured without even playing!

Just tuned in. Decent piece on the 10s. Not bad from ITV, better than expected.

Happy with Liam in. 'Bomb disposal expert'

Never a fan of booing the kicker but it seems as the hooray Henries have joined watching the game since 2003 it's now part of it. I remember the first ever game I went to see I did that (was a child) my uncle tore me a new ahole. Maybe I'm old fashioned I don't know

It's more Scots booing England, I think. I went to a sevens comp at Murrayfield in the 80s, where the crowd booed the England team, but also any English refs or touch judges when they were announced for any of the games. Wasn't particularly jovial either.

I recall a commentator describing it as 'unfortunate high spirits from younger supporters' or similar. Possibly the politest way he could think to describe it. It was Bill MacLaren so definitely pre 2003

High tempo, high quality game. Welsh defence whilst solid on paper stats wise seems a bit open to me, there's gaps in the midfield which Ireland are exploiting to make good yards.

Need to tighten up.

[hornetrider]

And Gareth Davies needs to quicken the fk up. Giving the Irish defence plenty of time to organise and been caught a couple of times too.

[basherX]

Wales allowing Ireland too much quick ball. They need to sharpen to fk up

[Ian Lancs]

That was a tip tackle???

[Derek Smith]

Quality try that. Impressive.

This could turn out to be as exciting as the England/Scotland match.

Good to see the Irish playing as they used to.

[Derek Smith]

There's another one.

[Welshbeef]

Three down at half time with all the play in Wales direction that's good.

[hornetrider]

Needed those points and to take advantage of the dominance. Warming up nicely.

[basherX]

Nicely set for the second half- all to play for

[hornetrider]

Wtf. Pen advantage. RFP kicks out giving possession to green, ref calls advantage over.

Eh?

[hornetrider]

The good doctor has been outstanding this afternoon. Some massive hits.

[Derek Smith]

The Irish play seems to lack inventiveness and inspiration.
