There's some individual performances that are going to give hope for the future...

Kane James, Tuipolotu at hooker smashing everything. The winger Ridley 6'5 from Exeter looks very interesting, and Bracken is decent.

The full back Pearson from Leicester has made some fabulous runs scything through the defence
 
Difficult start to the Wales Ireland game...

Ireland give away 7 points early, but are desperately unlucky to have their try disallowed
 
I don't usually single out u20 players for being poor, but Harri Wilde has been a horror show this first half...

He's kicked out of hand poorly, played others into trouble, basically shovelling ****, and he stopped a high bouncing ball from going dead, allowing a wales scrum inside Irelands half, and instead kicked it to the welsh 22 which set up the try.

Wales up 15 - 12 at half time but atentnin the game whatsoever, and don't stand a chance of winning really, especially with Wilde at 10

Yeah, not great. He looks decent ball in hand, but his control in these conditions has been very poor.

Ireland 9 has also had a half to forget.

Tackle numbers in the Wales game are crazy
Only 54mins in and two Welsh players are on 20+
Think they said Wales have made 138 or something?

It's one of those odd games though, Ireland have had a lot of ball without offering that much. A lot of these tackles are tight accepted.

What I will say is welsh tight head is getting through an unreal amount of work, especially dominant tackles.
 
No 10 at all in this vintage and a fairly poor backrow.

Not gonna win against solid sides away from home with that.

Wales are dogged with some smart footballers.
 
I hate the welsh coaching set up... they've challenged for 1 out of irelands 20 li outside, it makes no sense, so many have been squint...
 
I'm amazed to see Wales holding on to this lead, it isn't deserved at all.

I still think Irelands pressure will win it, but I can't wait to see the Welsh tackle stats, Beddall must be near 35, and I think there may be a few more near 30 tackles
 
Unreal win that, Wales offered very little throughout except for dogged defence.

Some amazing individual performances, Sam Scott would be MOTM in any other game that didn't involve a 34 tackle Beddall performance.

Great win, but these boys need to play more rugby than this
