Off Topic The Six Nations 2020

I hate people talking sense

 

Could Mr Brown replace Jimmy Krankie, please?

 

Tight one at the half. It’s a loose fwd game at the breakdown too many turnovers for my liking

 

Not much in it, just cut out the little errors.

 

Best 2 teams of the tournament, hard to call but we gave away a soft try early on.

 

Sloppy fekin handling gonna cost us!

 

Way too many mistakes

 

Wales are rubbish, no mistake about it, they will not win this, they have not turned up at all...........................

 

Played far too loose at times - Pivac has had a sharp lesson today. At international level, it’s no good just hoping for gaps to emerge or errors to be made.

Additionally, we won a Grand Slam last year built on Defence - why dick about with it? Hayward

Turkmageddon has just started for Welsh Rugby.....

 

Poor effort

 

Poite deserves to be banished to refereeing schoolboy rugby - he allowed Sexton to ref the game, allowed Stander free rein to infringe throughout .... but then pathetically yellow carded him in the last couple of minutes to feel better about himself....

 

Further evidence today of why I find watching Ireland play in Dublin a really unedifying experience.

Sympathetic refereeing decisions, fans and players behaving like their football counterparts in the way they get on the backs of referees and touch judges, obligatory ridiculously one eyed co-commentator, the unpunished illegal tactics at rucks and so on.

 

Totally agree Taff, Stander was not supporting his own body weight at most of the breakdowns he was involved in. To give him a yellow so close to the end was a joke he should have had one when he was spoken to earlier.
Having said that we made too many mistakes in the game

 

Ireland back to their street wise best and urgency at the breakdown. They totally bossed the first half and strangled Wales out of the game.

Wales made too many errors and defensively we've gone backwards. The only bright spot was the off loading in attack, that looks promising but lack of accuracy could be a problem, we can't afford to keep coughing up the ball. The lack of possession was frustrating and kicking game poor. Crap day all round.

Edit: I tried inputting that table as text but just couldn't get it to line up correctly!

 

I don't think France will be as confident playing away but if Shaun Edwards has the defence firing I think that could make the difference. However, I'm going to say a narrow Wales win. Scotland and England to win. If the results pan out like that then Wales could be top again, dependent on bonus points.

 

Think I’d agree with you - that said, Wales started poorly last year as Ireland did this year.....

 

Of course Ireland are capable of beating England and if they do I'd really fancy them for the GS.

 

Wales had better turn up against France, otherwise France will rack up a score...............
