Welsh posters are quiet.

Welsh posters are quiet.

To be fair there are only about 2 of them.

 

[TommiG88]

Tipuric with a rip on the floor only a knock on? Interesting

 

[TRF_Olyy]

This is a really good performance from Ireland

 

[Leinster Fan]

Max Deegan being an international player fills me with joy.


Edit: ah boo, put him at 8 with Stnader at 6, far more natural for both

 

[Bluemoon]

Ireland use their strength which is their pack now to see the game out in a slow and methodical way.

 

[munstermuffin]

Stander has really answered his critics the last 2 weeks.
Deegan in for POM now. Hope he gets a good workout.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Interesting that Deegan's gone to 6 with Stander still at 8. Potentially shows Farrell doesn't plan on looking at him as a legitimate option there this tournament.

 

[munstermuffin]

Now is when Cooney should be on. Last 10 and against tired legs

 

[Leinster Fan]

At least 15 minutes to late imo

His best position is flanker. Doris will be 8 competition as shown on day 1

I think after the knock on over the try line we had a feeling this wouldn't be our day.

I'd disagree as Murray was very good and you need to give him prolonged time when on a good form to get confidence and for back. Feel Farrell has got it spot on

Really? Thought he was almost exclusively an 8 for Leinster.

Who? Deegan is definitely not best at flanker.

No that's Doris. Deegan is a very good player across the backrow

 

[TheOvalBall]

Well, Ireland deserved this. Far better on the day.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Plays a fair bit at 6/7 to accommodate Doris developing as well but nowhere near as good there.

 

[big ginger 8]

Really? Thought he was almost exclusively an 8 for Leinster.

Yeah Deegan is as pure an 8 as there is. He's had games at 6 and 7 but 8 is by far his best position.

Great finish to cap a MotM performance (for me) from Conway.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Some lovely hands there
