Would kick direction be better? Down field versus cross field?

Missed the boat and currently have a standard one winging its way over to me… I mean I’m grateful but … 😔

This is a major concern for Ireland and probably the single biggest mistake of Farrell’s reign so far. It’s only a matter of time before Porter picks up an injury and the chasm is exposed.

Yep, correct call based on how refs are told to interpret the forward pass. I.e. does the ball move forward out of the hands. It’s clearly a forward action…

The only downside I see is coaching continuity. You would need entirely different coaches as they are busy in the window. EI allowed Easterby a trial run at managing the squad without Farrell. But I’d love an A game v GEO or POR on Friday b4 ABs on Saturday for eg

65 minutes 😁

What would you describe as a reasonable performance from Wales this week? Stay in touch till 65 and then concede a few late ones due to the fatigue of staying in touch so long?

It’s noticeable that they have gone away from the over and back attacking the same players system to going same way multiple times. Perhaps an implementation issue but why go away from something so successful?

Thanks!

Definitely agree. Age and strength development are hugely important for young props. Very few can be ready at a young age.

Thanks for this. Is there a way to click on to follow ones directly?

They could probably write about how surprised they are that South Africa still has the strongest bench 🤷‍♂️

Fair point but I don’t expect Ireland to make as many mistakes again. It’s a long time since they’ve had such an off day with their handling.

Well I followed you over so there’s one… 😂

Incredible performance. Joe Schmidt trademark rucking on display!!
