Ireland deserve a try here. Excellent stuff.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Staggering Welsh defence. Forty-odd phases of ball in your own 22 and hold out.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Great intensity to this game from both teams.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Awesome break by Wales and they butcher the try.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Fabulous Welsh try

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

1/2p missed conversion though, which could be key.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

What a terrible waste that was. Ireland had a five man overlap.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Think the top three all beating each other is a pretty accurate reflection of where we all are - all around the same quality (with different strengths) I would say.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The penalty try puts Ireland right back in it. Wales need to take the steam out of this for a few minutes.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Jonathan Davies - saying "it's on" randomly is not good punditry.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Come on Ireland!!!!!! Tense stuff

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Come on Wales!!!!!!! Tense stuff

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

23-16. Bloody hell. Converted try is still a possibility for this excellent Ireland side.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Ooof, that looks like a bridge too far.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ireland INCREDIBLY lucky. Barnes turns his back and then says clock off just as Madigan kicked the ball dead!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh that is a contentious decision by Barnes. Ireland can feel pretty aggrieved there.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wales win!!!

 

[darlowolf64]

Offside??! Wales win

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Epic match. Wales got a bit of luck towards the end but just about deserved the win I think.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

What a brilliant game of rugby in the end. It doesn't have to be 45-35 to be a stunning spectacle and the defence from Wales today won it. Brilliant.
