Not just around, but still performing at the highest level. Not sure he'll last the 80 in many matches, but his control of the game was excellent. Was a little disappointed in how safe he played when kicking to touch in the second half, but that's the only barely negative aspect from the game. More interesting was seeing that Lowe has added some defensive skills to his game, and Hugo's catching of high balls was exemplary - can't see Stockdale nicking that place in the squad unless there's an injury.

Its a shame but they have to know let all the old war horses go. The only players they have developed since the last WC are Zammit and Morgan, and Reffell a little. Compare that to the depth the other nations have built. Rhys Carre is not the right man to come on and scare the opposition, and unfair to bring on Webb so late and expect him to change the game, especially when he's been left out the team for nearly 4 years. Gutting to be a Wales fan at the moment I imagine.

There is a crisis in rugby refereeing at the moment that is ruining the game and is never talked about. It seems like every game I watch, a referee makes a glaring game ending, momentum killing error that ruins the game and takes the excitement away. There should be an independent comission and a league table for ref's where bad decisions that are clear and obvious end up with the ref being relegated down a level from the quality of games they are currently refereeing and therefore their financial earnings are affected. "Oh, you made a terrible error that just cost a tier one nation a game? Have fun reffing tier 2" if referees had an actual incentive for getting decisions mostly correct then they would improve. Then we would get to see some of these terrible referees running around the local u15s where they belong.

@@cruisersism 3 is always better than 0
@@Claspingtub6 not when your 14 behind .. and they are the favourites .. When You chase , you go to the corner
@@cruisersism yeah but 7 is never really as sure a thing as 3 when its right in front of the posts, and it was still the first half 14 points down.
@@richardshortall5987 Amazing bringing up that a kick can be missed. so odds prob are 92% from where it was to kick for 3, and lets think of the odds and many failed line pushes wales had in the game overall giving them like maybe a 12% chance of scoring a try. so id rather take the 3 but then again maybe I should listen to yourself with a dumb response of "as you know from your many years playing high-level rugby"
Wales wouldnt last 5 minutes without england backing them up
🏴 didn’t only lose the game
Gatland should have never came back. Wales in bad need of new blood.
are you serious ? they have only had 2 weeks of training and this is the first game
Wales looked okay in the second half ,playing the number 1 team in the world !!
@@DAVE-zf6df They were beaten by Scotland, that tells you how poor they are.
Tommy? He went back to Eugene.
Wales are and have been for some time now bit part players on the world rugby stage.
Its a shame but they have to know let all the old war horses go. The only players they have developed since the last WC are Zammit and Morgan, and Reffell a little. Compare that to the depth the other nations have built. Rhys Carre is not the right man to come on and scare the opposition, and unfair to bring on Webb so late and expect him to change the game, especially when he's been left out the team for nearly 4 years. Gutting to be a Wales fan at the moment I imagine.

Faletau had a terrible game at 8,he gave away a ton of penalties in 1st half. Ireland are a class outfit,but when Wales put the pressure on they were strugggling. Wales could finish fuck all off to be honest. Liam Williams yellow was in direct contrast to the poor refereeing decision to the late dangerous tackle on himself
34-10 doesnt look like struggling tbh.
Can't say I saw any instance in this match of Ireland struggling.
How don't the refs pull players in all teams for latching on its totally illegal and a basic rugby law .You can't bind to your own player unless he is in contact with an opponent and either must have the ball That is where rugby came from
Sexton injured?
Wales look rather pedestrian. Just passing the. ball without any line breaks won't get the job done.
Shite is the word david
Their style of play seems dated, like from a past era. Heavy and, as you say, pedestrian. Wales is my second fav team after Ireland so I really hope they get a new set-up and coaching outfit after this WC and get back to their roots of being a leading rugby nation.
Win aside, Ireland were pretty shocking for about half an hour. And Murray and Sexton had wayward kicks that decent teams will punish us for. Not seeing anything yet to suggest another chappy WC display.
Wait since when has Ireland ever had a happy WC display? Have they ever made a semi final yet?
@@MusMasi My bad. Meant to type crappy. Autocorrect my ass 😅
Crappy WC display. Typeo.
Didn't think it was possible to find such a negative take after 34-10 win but you managed it.
Yeah Lexi. You do whatever you want. I don’t care.
Why don't they try that if you score a try under a penalty the conversion is worth 5 points? Edit: Rugby is in danger of following the NFL and NBA in possible refereeing 'knobbling', or just losing the respect of viewers (cynical dive into a player, nothing, accidental head contact 10 minutes or a red)
Because that would be terrible.
@@Matt_Alaric Why? The professional fouling is going to get worse...the Southern hemisphere sides were ALWAYS rightly chastised for this aspect of their game...or do we want more Owen Farrell types? Giving away penalties can be used as a means to disrupt the flow of the other team (or get away with it altogether)...do you want games where even more time is spent on tmos ?
@@marclawyer2789 Because it would literally be rewarding people for getting fouled. Exactly the same way that penalties in football reward players for getting fouled whenever they're near goal, and the result is that they go looking for that instead of trying to actually score instead.
@@Matt_Alaric You mean like the head contact rule?
@@marclawyer2789 ?
Scotland BEAT the English I'm very happy with that yeha
Highlights of Ireland & Wales, but brings up England hahahahah 😆😆😆
Los galeses están jugando sucio,rite? They have got what they deserve
Over the last few years, sexton is showing the class of Dan Carter. The guy is playing well.
He's good when Ireland are in front but if they are behind loses his rag he is the a liability
hahahaha
he s defenetly great, carter tho was another level
Showing class of Dan Carter? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don’t think the ref helped with the flow of the game
never like to blame the ref, but a lot of strange calls ( Not releasing called on players who didn't make the tackle to start )
Yeah a few odd calls for sure, there was one blatantly forward pass to Talupe Falatou I think (either to or from him) and the camera panned out to show Dickson was literally a metre away looking straight at it.
@@randomke7ab I’ve never seen a penalty restart
the Ref was pretty spot on with both teams... 1 or 2 misses but hes human and that will always be the case. If players make silly errors its his job to stop the game... if you want the game to be more flowy then the players need to be more clinical
@@randomke7ab if your talking about the call in this video on Ken Owens when he was in for a jackal that wasnt against him. The tackler hadn't released the player and rolled thus Ken isnt allowed to contest the ball. Correct decision by the ref... also even if the tackler had rolled Ken went onto his hands first which means he would have probably had off feet called against him regardless
Love to see the Celtic nations beat England
anyone beating england is good
Ah, yes, the celtic nations that wouldn't support Ireland hosting the rugby world cup. England did, though.
Highlights of Ireland & Wales, but brings up England hahahahah 😆😆😆
Wow. George. The evil disapproving stepmother. How Disney!
Pretty brave call by the commentator to suggest its rubgy’s greatest championship ?
It probably is.. rugby however 😁
Everyone knows the 6 Nations is the world's best annual championship.
What a weak yellow card , the Welshman had the player in a tackle, how is that yellow?
So weak, pathetic. They've ruined the game a lot.
Physical - lol 🇿🇦
I can't bear the lady commentator's imput.
I totally agree with you, men should commentate mens rugby, and women commentate on women's rugby.
Bravo Irish. - You guys can actually win a game without cheating it seems.
It seems that you guys can actually spend a lot of time sulking...

South Africans playing for Ireland and Scotland scoring tries. Great players but are they really Scottish or Irish?
What South African scored for Ireland? Do a small bit of research before making your assumptions
Van Der Flier was born in Ireland. His paternal grandparents are Dutch and settled in Ireland in the 1950s.
more like New Zealand scoring for ireland
@@johnpaul9250 thanks for the clarification. You have to admit though that with the 3 year residency rule some players get to represent a country where 1. they were not born and 2. neither parent had any connection to the country they now play for eg in Ireland you have had Bundee Aki - hardly an Irishman even though he is very committed to Ireland. It is the same situation across all rugby nations. I guess it is the price we pay for contemporary mobility.
Josh Van Der Flier isn't South African. It's embarrassing how many rugby "fans" claim that he is
Physical what a joke
FFS How boring is that Commentator 😢😢😢
Hasn't anyone realized that this is a nightmare matchup for colour blind people? Have one team wear white stripes in their strips, FFS.
Mostly boring, highly effective northern hemisphere rugby. Ireland gonna be tough to beat.
No. No. George. I really don’t want ride the ATVs. They are scary to me. Remember. I am not bio foot print ho.
It is the same problem every year: Please - for god sake - have a light-coloured change/second kit for one of the teams when Wales and Ireland meet. 1 in 12 men (and 1 in 200 women) have colour vision deficiency with the large majority having trouble with red and green. That is hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of rugby fans who have a hard time distinguishing the teams. It is honestly embarrassing that action hasn't yet been taken, even after World Rugby has published guidance on the topic.
Here’s a little trick for them, the team getting battered is wales. That will help them distinguish between the two
Buy some enchroma glasses. I understand your frustration but minorities need to adapt not the other way around.
Why should the IRFU or WRU pander to 1/12 men and 1/200 women and change their kits?
@@RGK147 Must applaud this statement 👏👏. Mind you, that probably means we're both hate mongers 🙄🙄
How the hell do people negotiate ordinary everyday traffic lights then?? Eh.. in case you have trouble..Red means stop. Green means go. W...T..F.. incompetent children masquarading as adults - How do you manage to live a day in your life??
There is a crisis in rugby refereeing at the moment that is ruining the game and is never talked about. It seems like every game I watch, a referee makes a glaring game ending, momentum killing error that ruins the game and takes the excitement away. There should be an independent comission and a league table for ref's where bad decisions that are clear and obvious end up with the ref being relegated down a level from the quality of games they are currently refereeing and therefore their financial earnings are affected. "Oh, you made a terrible error that just cost a tier one nation a game? Have fun reffing tier 2" if referees had an actual incentive for getting decisions mostly correct then they would improve. Then we would get to see some of these terrible referees running around the local u15s where they belong.
no cards in the England Scotland game
14 minutes to put 3 points on the board. Wales are even worse than last year. BORING, big fat forward battle. Dour and dull, just like the past 40 years of Welsh rugby. Yawn. I switched off after that.
Ref clearly against Wales.
Wales were unlucky.....overall looked the better team
Lmao
Ha, good one
Ya and I'm the Prime minister of France
Where Wales even playing yesterday
Lol yeah sure pal.
"Rugbys greatest championship..." Settle down Northern Hemisphere
That yellow card was absolute bullsh*t. They're ruining this sport. . . . Just turn it into touch rugby and be done with it. It's pathetic
Where's this country called Wales ? They part of the old Russia ?
