    That was a lovely kick, outside of the boot?

    At a neutral venue I’d expect Ireland to win. Why?, we simply have more top class players.

    However any team playing at home in the 6 Nations has a huge advantage

    High emotion today with the last appearances in the Six Nations by both great coaches and two iconic players.

    Irish coming back well, handling looks difficult.

    He, like Sexton, has had so many big concussions that I’ve long thought about the wisdom of them still playing.

    Wyn Jones looks like he might not last long, which would be a huge blow for the Welsh.

    Ireland are giving away nearly as many penalties as England did. Need to tighten up

    That’s a couple of marginal home calls

    Ireland look slow, laboured and void of creativity at the moment

    One or two poor calls, they're just not quite firing at present

    Also some bizarre errors.

    As an aside, when was the last time an international hooker, or any hooker, actually hooked the ball in the scrum? A dead art, because it’s not needed.

    What on earth has happened to Ireland!!? They look a shadow of the team that were 2nd in the World not long ago. They look really poor.

    Really really poor.
    Sloppy, indisciplined and inaccurate.

    Not being helped by dodgy decisions. That’s 3 wrong calls costing 6 points. Healy pinged as cant stay up when their 1 breaks bind. Ref missing big calls

    Wyn Jones untroubled by the injury now and Wales are looking comfortable, Too many penalties by Ireland.

    Looks good for the Welsh now, Ireland a shadow of the team they were. I just don't think they have the motivation as even if they won today the title would probably go to England later. Welsh deserve the Slam...

    Still think Ireland can let loose. More discipline and an early score

    Wales certainly seem to be getting all the decisions from the ref.
