I'm not sure that kick will settle his nerves.

Powerful attack.

Ref seems a Homer for me. Lots of in at the side, off the feet, flying shoulders at the breakdown. And holding on is only a pen if you wear red.

That said the Irish are competing strongly at the breakdown and we need to improve.

I'm not usually one to complain about referees but that was the worst refereeing performance I've seen for a very long time. Jackson is an absolute joke.

There was a knock on (Wales) and an offiside (Ireland) not called by the ref.

We've just run the Bigger catch back here. He was either on the ground or so close that it was impossible to say;

Wales need to get a grip. They are losing this. Now with a 5m throw in against them

Yep, it was touch and go. He needs to worry less about appealing and play to the whistle

Said like a coach.

You are spot on. It's the reaction of someone who knows he's done something wrong.

Agreed. The ref is fking abysmal but there was nothing wrong with that.

How we are within a score is, frankly, mind boggling.

Yes. I'd like to see the stats for possession.
