    Great defending by Wales. Bastards.

  3. In amongst all the mayhem, Aled at 9 was very shite. Gats might learn a lot from this game after all.

    Leon Brown getting stuck in, and looking fit.

    His mauling technique is laughably bad. Still, Samson offers zero around the park so he could play himself in.

    I feel sorry for Navidi. This is probably not how he envisaged his first captaincy going.

  7. Cheap shot by Ireland to put Best on to get his mojo back against wilting, chaotic Wales.

    Any side playing Wales will look at this, and the England games, and think ” we will get them in the scrum”
    Yes, even Australia!

    Now I really am going to bed.

    It was more of a team card for the scrum, having already been warned.

    Is my memory really terrible, or were Munster not getting massacred at the scrum last season? I was worried about this all-Munster front row.

    I think I’d just pick 2 tight heads and 2 scrum halves and just pray they stay fit.

  19. I remember thinking before the game that the Irish pack would smash us, feeling smug (that smugness is the only good thing I can take from this).

  33. @yos, would also be inclined to go with 2 nines. Aled just keeps consistently falling short, and he’s had a lot of game time.

    Well, that ended up a lot more squeaky-bum than the first half would have indicated, mostly because of Patchell.

    Put AWJ, Ha’penny and a couple of others back in the team, and it’s a scary side.
