Though Beard Carried better than any other lock on the park. No idea if the stats back that up!

Ireland’s mixed C-B team should have put at least 40 pts on Wales today. The disallowed forward pass try on the 5m line was one missed opportunity. Should have gotten at least one more try from the 5m attacking scrums. Wales seemed to take mostly all of their pts. Furlong Best Henderson Ryan Toner ...

After the initial depression I think today actually went great for us. Patchell and Tomos Williams seriously impressed from the bench. Not only have they provided an easy squad choice for Gatland but they’ll be pushing Davies and Biggar all the way for a starting berth. Beard and Shingler likewise r...

So what do we reckon the squad is goin to be. If Gatland is true to his word that today's game was a direct trial for places, then I reckon it is: Elliot Dee Ryan Elias Ken Owens Rob Evans Tomas Francis Wyn Jones Samson Lee Dillon Lewis Nicky Smith Jake Ball Adam Beard Cory Hill Alun Wyn Jones (c) ...

Well Gats will have learn't a lot from that Game. Still don't agree these matches deserve to be caps. Next week will be a massive anticlimax, no one will want to get injured, no one will want to show their hand. Against such a poor Wales team Irelqnd at times struggled but the better second team wo...

Steff and Lane looked fairly dangerous when they got the ball, but failed to get involved enough to force Gatlands hand.

Even with the diabolical first half tackling of Wales, had Aled Davies not been playing, that would have been a comfortable Wales win. Can’t believe he’s even in the extended squad. Can’t believe he has a cap! Patchell well ahead of the young pretender too. Patchell could even be contending for the...

Interesting that it’s such a problem Wales being number one when they haven’t beaten just NZ. We haven’t played them in years - largely because NZ ask too much of the gate when playing away. Maybe Pichot should be looking at that? A lot of RWC winners are going to have to be null and voided now too...

Excited to see how Wales’ back row trio get on today. A good test for them up against a much bigger unit.

Which is a tad ridiculous given our year and most recent game.

There are always huge points on offer when playing the world number 1 at their home.

A big carrot for Ireland given the side we’ve put out

England are becoming the NZ of the north using us as their islanders - taking the best young prospects then giving us their scraps - Jonah Holmes

I’d say no players from outside Wales and pay them more for their international duties - so that big money offers from elsewhere don’t make sense even financially. I’d also like the wru to be stepping in and helping regions secure our hottest young prospects, who have become the targets for the big ...

So we have 'probable' teams put forward for both countries: IRELAND (probable v Wales) W Addison; A Conway, R Henshaw, B Aki, J Stockdale; J Carty, K Marmion; D Kilcoyne, N Scannell, Jn Ryan, I Henderson, Js Ryan, T Beirne, P O’Mahony, J Conan. Wales (possible): Hallam Amos; Owen Lane, Scott Willia...

Ireland will be well up for this, determined to gain back some respect, but ultimately, I think that our C/D team will have a little too much for their A/B team.

I think it's fair to say that Aki is first choice at 12 at the moment. Granted, all the other centres have been injured at various stages, but he's been consistently selected there. OK Aki, James Ryan, Stockdale, POM ...... 4 first choice players, 2 or 3 of whom are under severe pressure to hold th...

I think that the disrespect for “parliamentary democracy” is exactly fitting given the complete lack of respect that they’ve shown the democratic vote of the people.

Jesus those teams I hope they aren’t charging more than a tenner in ? I’d say atleast half of that Irish side are best available.

Wales at the moment are the French Army before WW2. Highly rated in theory. Top defensive line. Famous generals in charge. But won’t last a month in proper big boy combat. I fear you may be right. The analogy is lent further accuracy given that the French were ultimately overrun by a drugged-up nei...

I think it’s highly likely that Ireland will win both these games. The experimental sides will play in Wales, which negates Wales home advantage, not to mention that there appear to be a few first teamers in Ireland’s “experimental” side. Then, when they go full strength the week after, Ireland have...

Mass doesn’t matter in vacuum or in air. Air resistance does however.

Have Jenkins and/or Young been included in the squad now? Jenkins is out isn't he? And I haven't heard anything about a call up for Young...although that could be a great story.
