Ireland v Wales

[sparky]

Adams now given a Yellow Card. High hit off the ball. Could have been a Red.

[sparky]

Conway scores his second. 22-0. Ireland far, far too good for this Wales team.

[sparky]

Sexton with the kick. 24-0. Huge gulf in class between these teams. 50 minutes gone.

[sparky]

In the 54th minute of the game, Wales get awarded their first penalty of the match.

[Victor Meldrew]

29-0 with 20 minutes to go. Wales making it too easy for Ireland to score.

This could get very, very ugly.

[sparky]

Ringrose with the bonus point try on the hour. The Aviva rocking. Dismal start for the 6 Nations champions. Ireland looking superb. 29-0

Wales players looking utterly miserable. Big job for Pivac to pick them up after this.

Worst Welsh performance for some time. Forwards look to be on Mogadon compared to Ireland and the backs seem to be terrified of taking the ball at pace.

This Ireland team has the ability to be the best Ireland side of all time. Schmidt did well with Ireland but this team is better - it's like night & day on attack.

Wish ABs could swap out Perenara for JGB.

[MajorRage]

Wales are the worst I’ve ever seen them.

Barely look committed.

I was actually thinking how many more tries Ireland could have scored with a 9 who had fast pass like Nugget or even Christie.

Yeah, in a nutshell.

If they keep playing like this, Wales will be battling Italy for the Wooden Spoon this year.

We see how they go down under. But serious opposition these days.

[Victor Meldrew]

The Welsh backline passing is fucking awful. Everyone jumping onto the ball rather than running onto it

[Victor Meldrew]

Basham in.

One of the few Welsh players to vaguely impress

[MiketheSnow]

From the Penthouse to the Shithouse

Dire

[sparky]

All over. 29 to 7. Ireland looking very strong, Wales looking gash.

[NTA]

Just finished the first half.

Ireland's loosehead hasn't been legal at scrum once - shoulders below hips every time. The penalty given to Ireland in the 37th minute was poor officiating from the AR (Peyper was on the other side) as Green loses bind and collapses from his own ineptitude. Biggar could have kicked a penalty from there to make it 10-3.

Other than that, Ireland should be dominating

[NTA]

Also: Sexton sets the ball up on the tee leaning to the right and misses two kicks to the right.

Should he be surprised?
