Farrell out.

 

[Crusty Ring]

Both of those were straightforward kicks. If that was Prendergast, we'd be jumping all over it, and well you know it.

Crowley absolutely should’ve scored both those kicks, poor misses at this level and Prendergast would be crucified as he offers nothing else.

At least Crowley’s general play and defensive work can’t be questioned.

Have to make those kicks at this level though

 

[nelly sham]

Bit of a mixed bag. The Welsh improved their defense and adopted to Ireland quite easily. They offered next to nothing attacking wise though.

JGP had an up and down game.
Stockdale aside from his try was poor.

McCarthy had a good run off the bench in fairness to him.

Crowley has to get the kicking sorted.

Wales defended superbly in thought. Nothing wrong with their spirit and application but that will only take you so far.
Scottish game next week will tell a lot

How has the land that produced Barry John, Phil Bennett, Johnathan Davies etc degenerated to such an extent that tonight's no.10 is the best they have.He was shocking.

It's gas, the 2 best trys of the tournament have been scored against us

The Taffs are picking up so many Wooden Spoons, they'll have to do a car boot sale to get rid of 'em.

Looked like they might get the shock result at one stage - There wouldn't have been a sheep shagged in the Valleys for a week.

Just saw Snyman in terminal 2. I called him a fanny and bolted.

No chance he'd catch me with that blown knee

Thatcher.

So we're back to not being able to deal with a rush defense.

Very underwhelming performance even if the Welsh were absolutely up for it
