P+sshand ……oh P+sshand….you Scarlet bag of S++t!!!
Oh Rhys……..learn the rules…..
When the opposing player charges down a kick and it goes over your own try line, you can ground it and get a 22 DROP OUT.
NICE ONE Rhys……you UTTERLY USELESS TW+T
Oh no……..stop it……stop it……oh you are awful…….
Yet again its Enoch slagging the P+SShand in the most unfair way!
How unfair…..how unjust……He only gave Ireland a position to claim 7 points from and effectively cost Wales the GAME.
And as for that drop goal towards the end…….what a load of rubbish!
Come back Hookey………………… all is forgiven.
But Cementhead will doubtless pick that turnip P+SShand for the game v Scotland if Biggar’s injured.
As Alfie said B 4 the K.O. ……..Cementhead is
‘the greatest coach Wales have had in the modern era’
The others were just awful in any case.
My granny’s corpse that has been in the local cemetery since 1974 could not have done a worse job!
At least she’d have kept P++shand out of the Welsh team which is something Cementhead will NEVER do!
While I hate to agree with Enoch on principle, that not-grounding-the-ball incident was pretty unforgivable. Yes, ‘apart from that’ he wasn’t too bad, but it was a pretty big blunder!
The Welsh played well then 🙂
Take a tablet
“I though Rhys has done pretty well….. he’s come on and we were happy with his performance”
So Gatland has said on the BBC website……………… as opposed to Wikileeks.
Well that seems to prove everything I raised earlier!
Can someome please tell me what is this Satanic and Messianic hold that P+sshand has over Cementhead?
Others make a mistake in a game and they are out for good…even voicing an opinion that Cementhead did not agree with got certain people exiled from the team forever….2008 and Alix Popham for example.
But when it comes to that Scarlet sack of SH+T…old Cementhead cannot get enough of him!!!!
Interesting odds for Scotland to win in Cardiff for the 1st time since 2002 if we get that son of a Llanelli comprehensive Maths teacher and utter brain-dead fart at No10 next week!
P++shand actually makes Andy Powell and Mike Philips look like members of MENSA
Thought I’d chime in here from my own point of view.
Positives for Wales: They still have great come back spirit. Coming back from 13 points down away in shitty weather is one of the things that has come to define this Welsh team.
On the other hand, they shouldn’t have let it come to that.
From an Irish point of view, you could argue they threw away a home win they needed if they seriously wanted to challenge for the title for a third time.
A game of attrition won’t do Ireland any favors against France next week with a short turnaround and if this was the plan, it may have backfired. Ireland should have tried to shut up shop better when they wen 2 scores clear.
From a neutral perspective, I think it was an intense enough match. I never liked Priestland. Don’t know why. I just don’t think he’s the right stuff at this level and Gatland should dispense with him. I think the only person who believes he is the right stuff is himself.
Keith Earls is still sloppy for me and should be dispensed with. Zebo is still cagey and vulnerable in the tackle.
Initial thoughts. The battle at the breakdown was mesmerising in this match with quality and intensity way above anything we have seen from any of the other teams in game one. Either side could have won it. Roberts is the Welsh Barritt! Not a weekend for drop goals.
I think that’s pretty offensive to Roberts!
It was a joke – although suggestions of MOM just because of his tackling……………
The battle of the breakdown, although intense, epitomised what is wrong with Northern Hemisphere rugby. Every ruck had about 5-6 players from the attacking team and 3-4 from the defending team which meant that the defenders always outnumbered the attack and slow ball eschewed.
oops we have slow ball lets throw more men at the next ruck then and so it continues
I saw it slightly differently. There was some very quick ball on occasions, but both sides were there to contest the ruck so more bodies had to be chucked in and there were still turnovers. I thought it was more evenly balanced than you are suggesting. Not saying Ireland or Wales had it completely right but it was a fascinating dub plot to the wider game.
Lloyd Williams …………….that box kick was utterly utterly awful.
Effectively that ‘clearance’ plus P++shand’s moronic kick from behind the try line gave Ireland the chance to score 10 points and this is what cost Wales victory at the end.
Captain Darling…clearly not match fit and invisible for most of the game.
Just as he was in Dublin v Ireland in 2014 when he was rushed back from injury too soon for national duty.
It was like watching History being repeated again with the ‘Chosen One’.
I said this would happen last week.
Liam Williams or ‘Glue Gloves’ was also very poor with ball in hand….namely he took it into contact every single time.
Wales have to look at Sam Evans from the Ospreys to have a fit fullback playing at fullback.
Scrum held up really well and Gethin Jenkins, when he came on, was more visible in the ruck than Captain Darling. Lineout operates so much better with Charteris and AWJ working together. It eases the pressure on AWJ and I don’t understand why Charteris was taken off when he was.
I also recall predicting that Scott Baldwin’s handling would let us down at a crucial point and it did!
Sam Evans, Ospreys?? Who might that be, pray, O Prophet, O ye of Balls talk? Perhaps thou speakest even of young Sam DAVIES ye D**khead.
Once again Wales reputation as ‘slow starters’ come back to haunt them, they didn’t realise they were in a game until 30 mins in !. Biggars early injury was the main reason Wales didn’t win this game though unlike Enoch I think Priestland did ok as a whole ( yes apart from kicking the ball from dead instead of touching down, I am sure he actually does know the rules but maybe he didn’t realise the ball went dead from an Irish hand ) his kicking out of hand was good with some long range completed clearances.
Tom James was a disappointment, apart from 2 or 3 defensive tackles he was largely anonymous, certainly no threat in attack.
The scrum went well though it is hard to gauge with a weakened Irish front 5, will certainly need to improve again when up against the English.
One thing is for sure, next week against Scotland is a must win for both teams, will make it pretty interesting, just hope Biggar responds to treatment …
Terrific entertainment. After 20 minutes, i thought Ireland would win the tournament. Wales showed great resolve in their come back and were in the ascendancy at the end. Sexton is returning to some great form and Priestland showed the quality that Bath have not exploited. A clever defensive afternoon from Roberts but the cats out the bag now Jamie.
Not too much from either side to worry Southern Hemisphere – Ireland in particular guilty of being too predictable. A long way behind NZ, Aus, SA and Arg in terms of offloads out of the tackle – the best way of unlocking a defence these days. And when are refs going to start penalising tackles at people’s throats?! Someone will get paralysed or killed.
Predictable? Atleast Ireland made line breaks ( which cant be said for the Welsh)
Priestland is a worry for me . I was impressed with his unusual faultless kicking off the tee …however he is a nearly man therefore not good enough at this level. He nearly reached North with a cross field kick to in goal …he nearly intercepted for a breakaway and he nearly , well not really , landed two drop goals….sorry to say disappointed with the Aviva (first visit). I suspect land constraints are the problem but surely an opportunity missed to build a worthy international stadium.
