[2022 Six Nations] Ireland vs Wales (05/02/22)

[Scotty]

Wales need to kick a pen! Or a drop goad to dont get beat to nil

 

[Jimbo]

Fair enough, I can't see how Adams 'think' in that amount of time given when he saw Sexton was there. But we can agree to disagree!

Slightly tinted glasses mate, he though he has an opportunity to cheap shot a key man and took it, if it involved arms an a legitimate tackle attempt I'd agree with you but he lead with the shoulder it was reckless and out of control frankly slightly higher and would have been should to head, which would have been unquestionably a red.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Ireland peaking a year before the RWC perfection

The trick is to peak when everyone else is building.

 

[McTallshort]

Wales are the new Bath

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Worst start to a ***le defence ever?

Ireland have mastered it after many years of peaking early only to end with a disappointing climax. Standard Irish behaviour tbh.

It wasn't a tackle he was competing for the ball and they collided. He hand was up, he had fractions of a second to move his body as he collided with Sexton.

It's academic really as Ireland have been much better today.

 

[Reiser99]

Adams having an awful day.

To be fair, you lads peaked at the right time once and we're **** for 13 years so who knows what's right?!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Genuinely surprised that's only Ringstings second try, and his first was only in the autumn

 

[Jimbo]

Honestly whilst it wouldn't make a massive difference to the result how can u penalise Wales for that yet allow Ireland to slow the ball all game.

 

[Goodey]

I really should focus on the joys of Wales being crap, but Ireland being good is an issue

In hindsight there was no way for me to enjoy this game

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Genuinely surprised that's only Ringstings second try, and his first was only in the autumn

That can't be right

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Think they said it was his first at the Aviva

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Genuinely surprised that's only Ringstings second try, and his first was only in the autumn

The graphic said 11 I swear?

 

[Rinkadink]

Ireland only conceded 2 penalties in 70 minutes?

What's the lowest penalties conceded in 6N/internationals?

(How many have Wales conceded this match, 10 to 15?)

 

[big ginger 8]

That can't be right

He's scored 57 points for Ireland so it isn't.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Barely heard Biggar's name all game

 

[ThebigARena]

This game just shows how much we need AWJ , Ken , Navidi and North. I honestly can't believe we trialed a small winger in Josh Adams in centre against a rampant Irish team that beat the ABs comfortably .We seem a very depleted team ATM with no sense of direction and it doesn't help when you have idiotic play with Adams hitting sexton off the ball with a penalty In hand. The effort is there but the structure is not. I championed pivac when he took over but I question that with this lightweight centre partnership and a seemingly lack of a plan B . Should be a good tournament for the Irish , English , France and Scots to scrap over.

I'm going to wistfully dream of a day England concedes single figure penalties.
