Good summation Jeff and ratings pretty fair . Gatland’s tactics may have been bog standard but they were effective and as you’d expect he had everyone up to speed on the finer details. Our lack of pace in the backline did make the task a bit easy for you and in that regard I think you might be unde...

15. Cam Winnett - Another solid performance from the youngster. Good in the air, good with his positioning and good coming onto the ball. Got caught in two minds a couple of times running it back, but is doing a stellar job in his first pro season. 7/10 14. Josh Adams - At one point, he was one of o...

Like I said Ireland played a decent game and Wales could only manage a small amount of decent play that garnered points. Wales couldn't manage much the Irish defence was resolute. I think had we scored at the end, the score would have been more reflective of the game. The scoreline flatters Ireland...

Not the absolute hammering some feared/anticipated but Ireland played a decent game and won very well. Not a hammering, but we were never close to being in it.

In an effort to divert thoughts from the impending doom, I just watched Patchell put in a cracking performance on his Super Rugby debut. Yes, it was against one of the traditionally weaker teams, but it was choc full of Patchell highlights, those being ropey defence, and sumptuous passing.

Just caught up on the game. The Ginger Messiah bringing it.

Will be interesting though when they get to play teams that don't allow so much front foot ball.

Jeff the Bear

You just know that when the chips are down, the ringing of gruff Northern tones telling you to get back on your feet and get back into the defensive line just isn't going to work on the Frogs.

Jeff the Bear

I see Howley has suggested we’re aiming to create chaos. Sounds one step up down from the berserker rugby of kick and chase that the Irish used to enjoy. They’re going to have force my eyes open if I’m expected to watch the full bumming. It's a particularly tough decision for me as it's on at 3.15 ...

Just seen the Wales team. Who has the Welsh rugby communal lube supply? I assume it's a Dragons supporter.

Serious business.

Are they still arguing over whether it's right to talk about running one of the lads out of Ulster? That was a great back and forth.

Jeff the Bear

For me, the Ospreys at least seem to give a shit about hard work, defence and set piece (which is good, because they don't have much of a attack). I've said it many times, but the regions should all set the base minimum target of being hard to beat, and fudge everything else. Both Cardiff and Dragon...

The answer as to why Smith is never in contention and why a revolving door of seemingly useless fatties are is Gatland's mantra that you have to be two of "big, fast or skillful" to be in contention. Granted, the rest of them only manage one of them, but Nicky manages none of them, so doesn't get a ...

For what it's worth i expect a win by 10 points and a bonus point. I think Wales will score some tries though. Adam Beard says he can't wait to tear into us. It's Gatland and it's against us. Going to be a messy game I think Ireland will win by 20 minimum. I don’t think we’ll score tries. Might sne...

P.s. Dan Edwards for Wayuls All jokes aside, he appears, of all our 10 options, the only 'steady hand on the tiller' type, in a field of flighty wannabe ball runners. He's still too raw, but there's a certain unflappability about him which gives me hope. Anywho, the call from the up, the thread tha...

Those props were all really poor players,Matthias and O'Connor esp.

IF Munster perform this should be a 5 pointer, hopefully they don't break RG again. I think this is a 5 pointer even if Munster play like shite. This. I’ll be surprised if the scarlets keep it to within 30. They are wank. :nod: Scarlets are, in my esteemed opinion, the worst pro team on the planet ...

What are the reasons for Morgan Morse’s non-selection in the Welsh squad? Curious. It could be one of a number of things in my opinion. The most obvious being that he's still very young, and we're not exactly desperate for backrowers, so there's no need. His defence is also still not top quality (h...

Do I have to get the STD's in alphabetical order, or by which ones itch most to least?

Honestly, I'd say that on the basis of individual talent and physical attributes, not many Irish lads make it into a world XV head and shoulders above the next nearest. If you can name one, I can probably give a strong argument why someone else should be there. Put those players into an Andy Farrel...

Don't know if it's because I'm getting older, or just seeing so much anti ref stuff is starting to bug me, but more and more I'm coming to think that rules/system are rooted and the refs are f**ked mo matter what.

15. Cam Winnett - Good first half, yet ultimately, his inability to dominate the up and under battle in the closing quarter ended up tilting the game towards England. Potentially harsh to pin that on a guy in his second cap, but thems the rub. 5/10 14. Josh Adams - The odd good piece of good work is...

As far as I'm aware they want a closed 2 tier pro system, probably have a stipulation that Wales is guaranteed 2 or 3 teams in the top tier Well isn't this the nub of the issue.

50 22 says otherwise Not really. We were sat behind the posts and Ford wasted a number of overlaps in the second half with aimless kicking. The 50-22 was ultimately decisive because of his poor decision making before that. England should have been out of sight long before then. Ford got lucky with ...

Yeah, disappointing in the end. We just needed one penalty to win, and we couldn't even manage that.
