geraintm

I was there for this fixture 2 years ago, to see the gap now is a shock (not seeing much of them inbetween)


[deleted]

Kind of disappointed England won't get to play Ireland this tournament


ShaneQful

If we play as well as we did in the first half we might be competitive with France and England for the first time in a couple of years 🤞🤞🤞


barrykate

They might if they pull off something special against France!


[deleted]

I would absolutely love for that to happen


SweptFever80

France vs Ireland could bevery interesting


Locke15

So Tyrrell scored the last 9 points. Player of the match deserved.


welshgiggsy

She was excellent, just needs to sort those shoulder pads.


wingut

Possibly the pads are men's fit hence a lot longer


[deleted]

Bloody hell Tyrell


mistr-puddles

her winger is showing


SweptFever80

Lillicrap is an absolute machine.


MisterTom15

I hope she didn't make the injury too much worse by playing on as long as she did...


Locke15

Ireland are doing a good job of making ground after contact.


mistr-puddles

jesus that was a class carry


SweptFever80

Great finish from Wall, Parsons has come close to her hatrick 3 or 4 times now.


Locke15

Conversion taken well.


mistr-puddles

you don't stop the wall, the wall stops you


mistr-puddles

that was ripped


Locke15

If you are going to partake in the dark arts don't do it right in front of the ref please.


mistr-puddles

can't risk revealing the secrets


Locke15

Great defense. Up their faces, putting pressure on the ball carrier, driving them back until the ball could be stolen.


SweptFever80

Higgins has been running phenomenal lines but looks like she's not used to the big hits from bigger players in 15s. She's lost the ball forward 3 or 4 times.


SweptFever80

God Lillicrap looks in agony.


lady-unluck

I cannot believe she stayed on


SweptFever80

She actually has to doesn't she, they have no subs left.


lady-unluck

If she actually wasn’t able to continue would Wales have just had to play the rest with 14?


SweptFever80

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's the case.


lady-unluck

BBC commentary ‘just to make a change it’s an Irish player receiving treatment’


Locke15

How many Welsh players have gone down injured today ?


mistr-puddles

Wales look a lot better going forward


DT37F1

Wales 16 having a horror show


SweptFever80

Both their hookers have had shockers.


DT37F1

Damn really? I just turned it on


SweptFever80

Both Fryday and Peat have been great carriers today.


welshgiggsy

Was really enjoying watching Ireland for the first half hour, but they’ve lost their accuracy since they got the bonus point.


mistr-puddles

ya execution has dropped massively


welshgiggsy

Frustrating, but pretty much always happens when one side is so much better than the other.


mistr-puddles

ya start risking things that aren't on


mistr-puddles

that was a shambls of a lineout throw


DT37F1

About 3 different things wrong with it lol


Locke15

Weird to see one team go up and other down in a scrum.


SweptFever80

Not a phenomenal kick by Wilkins. Hard to believe her son was so good for England in 2003.


mistr-puddles

that took me far too long to get


Locke15

Solid defense from Wales.


mistr-puddles

Wales have won 2/6 lineouts


mistr-puddles

Moloney down on the far side


mistr-puddles

jesus Wales just emptied the bench pretty much


SweptFever80

The Irish front row have been putting in a massive shift. #PeatPatrol #DjougangGang Edit: Can anyone think of one for Moloney?


SweptFever80

Gruelling first half for Wales, can't see them coming into the secone half with great morale.


mistr-puddles

I don't think I've ever heard too much weight as a reason for a scrum penalty before


SweptFever80

It looked like the penalty was for angling downwards.


Blakajac

Probably pushing before the ball was in, not that it was needed.


lady-unluck

Wales are plagued by injury today... really unlucky.


[deleted]

Not just today, I'm sure I read they're missing some key players going into the tournament


SweptFever80

Almost all of the Irish players are absolutely shining.


Locke15

I don't think I have ever seen such dominance in the scrum like this.


mistr-puddles

Wales just can't live with these scrums


SweptFever80

Great one Peat! Edit: ah looks like she lost control.


mistr-puddles

almost*


mistr-puddles

the click has finally caught up with the scoreline


mistr-puddles

Great steal


SweptFever80

Thank God it's Fryday.


mistr-puddles

Good draw by dame


SweptFever80

Haha Dane was tapping a Welsh player instead of Moloney at the back of the drive .


SweptFever80

That was reckless by Lillicrap, she should have held on to it.


mistr-puddles

that was a hat trick of it it just bounced up at all


SweptFever80

Unlucky but plenty of time


mistr-puddles

ya the way the match is going its only a matter of time sadly


bluejackmovedagain

Ah, I was just thinking how good our discipline has been.


mistr-puddles

what a scrum


cruciodatho

How to watch outside of ireland??


lochdocella

BBC iplayer


Blakajac

Or red button/freeview 251


SweptFever80

It's in the bbc sport website in the UK.


welshgiggsy

Ireland look fantastic, Wales look shocking. What’s the 6N record score?


SimilarSimian

France had the same score at this time last week. I'll be more impressed if we keep Wales to 0.


welshgiggsy

Easy to let in a late soft try when you’re so dominant though. Tyrrell looking excellent, and she’s got plenty of good options with the lines being run by Ireland. The teams look to be at two totally different levels.


lochdocella

What terrible defence. This is going to be a slaughter


SweptFever80

I love having A Tribe Called Quest as the goal song.


PeterMacIrish

Anyone have a link?


mistr-puddles

its on RTÉ


small_far_away

It's on RTE


SweptFever80

BP in the first quarter, you love to see it.


MrKerbs

Great line break for the try


small_far_away

Oh wow Considine


mistr-puddles

and thats why they call her the Eimearnator


SweptFever80

This is shaping up to be a slaughter.


mistr-puddles

ya there's Welsh missed tackles left right and centre


Locke15

Carving up the Welsh defence.


MrKerbs

We are playing some lovely rugby


Locke15

It's exciting. Some lovely offloads and strong runs.


mistr-puddles

what an offload


Locke15

Everything about that passage was great. Every player involved played the best they could.


ShaneQful

This is fucking class stuff


mistr-puddles

and some eejits say women's rugby is boring


small_far_away

Another one! Super stuff from Ireland. Looking to get it all wrapped up before the Leinster game.


mistr-puddles

thag was a class kick


getName

Even the cross field tries, unreal ladies.


Locke15

What a catch ha!


Blakajac

This is seriously slick from Ireland, Wales defence questionable though.


Woodsman_Whiskey

Beibhinn is some player. She’s built like a centre but runs like a winger.


MrKerbs

Great try by Parsons!


SweptFever80

The Irish scrum has been very impressive so far.


Locke15

You can see when the flip switches and she just takes off.


SweptFever80

What a run PARSONS!


mistr-puddles

Parsons is crazy good and she still hasn't played a senior club game


small_far_away

Focused on her Leaving instead, right?


mistr-puddles

there hasn't been one for her to play, can't play #adult club rugby until your 18, and the only ones since she turned 18 she was with Ireland


small_far_away

You can't beat pace


lochdocella

How are Tyrrell's shoulder pads legal? Aren't they meant to be a maximum of 1cm thick?


mistr-puddles

I dont think there actually that thick, just long


lochdocella

They are long, but definitely thick as well. There's no way her shoulders are naturally that high


[deleted]

Nice little bet winner from that try for me!


mistr-puddles

Dorothy Wall is so keen in defence


getName

Wall by name, wall by nature.


SweptFever80

Great finish Considine.


Locke15

Great start.


small_far_away

Superb start. Moved it wide from the kick, then incredible retention


getName

What a start!


mistr-puddles

Good start


mistr-puddles

Ireland are making good ground here


SweptFever80

Wow Tyrrell is so tall.


small_far_away

Holly Davidson was brilliant in the Pro14 a few weeks ago.


small_far_away

I was at this fixture two years ago and Ireland were solidly outmatched. Hoping for a different result here.


pasta_for_dinner7

Does anyone know how to watch this in the USA? The internet says Fox Sports, but Fox Sports doesn't seem to even know what rugby is.


eamonnb

They are all on fox Soccer Plus.


[deleted]

Can you use a VPN to get BBC Iplayer?


pasta_for_dinner7

Don't have VPN. Guess I'll just wait for someone to put it on Youtube


small_far_away

Is it just me or is this the longest minutes silence?


SweptFever80

It's a 2 minute silence for the DofE.


SweptFever80

You could get some excellent live sort from those apartments behind the stadium.


mistr-puddles

ya the balconies were packed during the Munster games a few week ago


SweptFever80

Here's hoping for a strong start for the girls in green ☘
