Joking aside you do have to wonder how much player movement to countries not of their birth/origin has created a more level playing field in international rugby.

Furlong out

Could be telling

[Jailbreak7]

Aĺl a bit too easy for Ireland there. Could be a long old afternoon for Wales

[Bones]

Was just about to say Ireland's attack looks sluggish without JGP - but I see he was supposed to start. Warm up injury?

[Tim]

Not even a "dead cat bounce" for Gatland ...

[Jailbreak7]

@Bones Yep. Succumbed to a hamstring injury after the captains run apparently

[Tim]

What a bullshit replay.

[Jailbreak7]

Why wouldn't you go corner after being 14 points down??

[Billy Tell]

Wales look terrible. Just not at the races on defence. Reminds me of nz vs Ireland just soaking up metres.

[sparky]

14-3 to Ireland after 14 minutes. Wales look shit.

This could get ugly.

3 is better than none. Which looks like Wales' ability rights now.

[Jailbreak7]

Wales dont appear to have any answers with Gats in charge either. They won't win the game by being conservative.

[sparky]

Jonathan Davies is IMHO the world's most annoying Rugby co-commentator. And given how annoying Justin Marshall is that is saying something!

[sparky]

Wales 3 Ireland 17

Gats should have stayed at The Chiefs.

[NTA]

Jeez Wales start to look alright then get picked off

[NTA]

It's a fast game

[Billy Tell]

Game over after 20 minutes.

Coach and players from 2010s. Wales will do well to come back from here.
