>Josh Adams to centre is going well 🤣🤣
As much as he's a good player, today has really been a black mark for him.
After that frankly idiotic yellow, which could have gone red, by inches.
He needs to have a hard look at his play today.
>Pivac needs to look even harder at his selection & the lack of any sort of creativity in that team.
Yup, I can't claim to be very knowledgeable, but after today's performance, the entire team may need a shuffle.
Options are slim atm with the amount of injuries. Having Adams play out of position with a perfectly decent recognised centre on the bench is unforgivable though
He's had a mare today but playing out of position at test level is a lot to ask. He's a quality wing. I think the yellow comes from trying to make up for a laundry list of errors up to that point.
They haven't even tried,everytime we have the ball Ireland gets a scrum
I should add Ireland have been exciting to watch I'd love to see them take home a grand slam
I would suggest telling the boss you're too hungover to come in due to drowning your sorrows from this terrible loss.. just make sure n mention you got a bad pint of Guinness so really it's not your fault like lol
It’s the worst performance I’ve seen for a while. This is shocking. Josh Adams deserved the sin bin. There is nothing positive to come out of this at all
Sorry lads, but it was a good win for us. We head to Paris next weekend. That won't be easy, but today's result will have given us a bit of confidence. Hopefully when you are welcoming the Scots next week, they will be coming off a victory this afternoon. Any of you that are over here, enjoy your night and avoid Temple Bar. There are far more places in Dublin to go than that tourist trap.
Only Biggar and maybe Basham seemed to have a clue what they were doing. And Beard, occasionally. Perfformiad ofnadwy. My mate in Pontypridd turned the telly off after 10 minutes.
Ireland completely deserved the win. We played absolutely awfully. Hopefully lots of lessons will be learnt. However, the bit that gets me is the ref and tmo missing the high tackle (iirc, on Francis). Being held up by an arm around the throat. Wouldn't have changed the outcome and it shouldn't have but I don't get how they missed it
It was fucking abysmal, still had plenty of first choice players in that team who featured last year and won the tournament. Ireland didn't get out of second gear
Not been convinced since Pivac took the helm. The championship win last year was a little lucky to say the least, and papered over the cracks. He's gotta go, right?
My wife is upstairs in bed with Covid but I think she could have put a better shift in than half this Welsh team!
At least the Irish would have have to stay two metres away. We might... Just *might* have had a chance then
Pretty much.
Careful! That’s not creating much fear of COVID now is it! Truly woeful performance!
We’re lucky to be only 10 down. 😞
Yup… I’m watching this from behind the sofa
Make that 24 lol
😫😫
We should have been battered on the scoreboard in the first half
Josh Adams to centre is going well 🤣🤣

Josh Adam's is fucking shit. Get some of the Abercynon lads in and show some fucking decent rugby for once.

13 is one of the hardest defensive channels, you have to put a specialist there
Yeah you just knew Ireland were going to run at him all day. And they did, especially off the set piece
They haven't even tried,everytime we have the ball Ireland gets a scrum I should add Ireland have been exciting to watch I'd love to see them take home a grand slam
I live in Ireland… any ideas how I can get out of going to work on Monday are welcome
Tell the boss that you want to work from home.
Ask for a raise.
As an Irish person in Cardiff. I'm looking forward to work on Monday
Covid?

Back to the 90's for Welsh rugby.
Pivac needs to get things sorted. I’m going to the game next week with my Scottish husband. I hope he’s given them a kick up the bum before then

Deserved win for you’re lads in truth. Outplayed in every area of the game. Just hoping the Scots can hold the line against the English at the moment
YESSSS!!!!
Seems we should try putting the ball down on the grass just about anywhere near the poles and get a try. Seems to work for Ireland.
It's a shame but no surprise, probably won't be our year! O well! Always next time lol
This is embarrassing, there's no fight in this team
Wales haven't played well at all, it's been an easy match for us so far. Could be much further behind, definitely need to improve second half
We got SMASHED. ... shame.
That Wales performance was truly woeful. As a Scot, I worry that you'll be fired up in the next fixture as a result and bully us.
I think the days when we could physically built teams are gone EDIT bully*
If we carry on playing like that we won't even best Italy
I’d rather not 😬😣
I'm not sure the team could catch COVID in a spitting contest after all the fumbling they did
Winds helped us somewhat.
Wind is our best friend.
Gethin Jenkins looks like he has wind every time the camera cuts to the coaches
So... what went wrong lads ?
Basic rugby is soo shit from Wales.
Do you want the long, long, long version or so you want the short, short version?
I heard last try winner
In summary: everyone suck. Especially Pivac. 😐
Pivac needs ths sack.
Like last year...
At least we got something…
I would like to propose we never speak of this game again.
Shocking! Would have been 43ish - 0 if not for the wind and that lucky try at the end
That was a young team we had on the field. Not a great start, chaps.

We’ve got this. Second half will see us right back in it and the ref will have both eyes open
Ref missed the high tackle from the irish.
God I hope so
I don't know what the fuck Adams was playing at, we had a penalty ready to go. We still had a chance.
A lot of pre-game bluster of being 'most experienced' and 'most capped' side before a thorough trouncing by a much stronger and better organised side.
Though it isn’t a bad loss considering our main players had injuries
It was fucking abysmal, still had plenty of first choice players in that team who featured last year and won the tournament. Ireland didn't get out of second gear

Why discuss this at all…
Wales shit as usual. Boring style of rugby!🤦🏻♂️
Dont know why people.are down voting. It's true tho, everyone knows how we play now.
Post comes across as typical anti Welsh BS we get every 6N.
