Staggering bad Irish performance. Did they go out on the piss last night to celebrate Schimdt leaving/St Patrick's?

How did this lot beat the All Blacks?

All credit to Wales and Gatland though

As much as you fellas can't stand Gatland, he's out coached Eddie and Schmidt this 6N

[MiketheSnow]

Great defensive scrum from Ireland

[sparky]

@MiketheSnow

I like Gatland a lot. I suspect his next job will be coaching the All Blacks with Foz, Razor and Feek as his Assistants.

[Victor Meldrew]

Great tactics from Ireland - keep kicking the ball to Liam Williams. It's an open secret he's shit in the air.

This self destruction by Sexton is tasty stuff. Is there a more sour, petulant player about?

An arrogant shite too. International player of the year, my arse.

[MiketheSnow]

Anscombe with the penalty

Wales 25 - 0 Ireland
70 mins gone

[Victor Meldrew]

Sexton's coughed the ball up again. His mistakes must have cost Ireland a couple of kilometres this game. He's been utter crap.

[Victor Meldrew]

"How do like them open-roof stadiums, Johnny?"

[Victor Meldrew]

"Sexton off. Wales have to be careful now" :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

[sparky]

Sexton's been so crap you have to wonder if he's had a sly punt before the game on Wales? One of the worst performance by a Tier One international First Five in many years.

[MiketheSnow]

Not in our wildest dreams that scoreline

[MiketheSnow]

Emphatic

Forget the scoreline and focus on the performance.

This has been a consummate exhibition of top-class, brilliant rugby with not a single weakness in defence and attack.

The scoreline and performance go hand in hand.

[MiketheSnow]

Consolation score for Ireland

Wales 25 - 7 Ireland
Full-time

Grand Slam

[sparky]

Honestly thought before the game that Ireland would take this one, blown away at how good Wales have been.

It is going to be a messy, messy evening in Cardiff Bay.

Enjoy the Operation Grand Slam Mission Accomplished moment, boyos.

[MiketheSnow]

One for each victory

[Victor Meldrew]

Wonder if the lovely Sonya is going to say "....Here's Johnny!"

[MiketheSnow]

Now come on Scotland

[Stargazer]

I'm always a bit disappointed when almost all points are scored from penalties, it's not my kind of rugby when only defence is good, and not attack. But considering the conditions, maybe not more could be expected.

Wales handled the conditions best and Ireland imploded. They were so disappointing.

Congrats to Wales on the win, and congrats on the Grand Slam. Well-deserved. :clapping_hands:
