Ireland are losing it.
Oh well. That period of an Irish team being really good at something was nice for a while.
As long as France doesn't count.
Did we really kick better than ye in that game?
They really haven't been.
Their intensity in defence has been excellent but to have only scored one try against comfortably the worst hour of Irish rugby in the last 20 years is poor stuff from Wales.
France couldn't even clear the ball appropriately, it was an absolute disaster.
They’ve controlled the game & forced Ireland into mistakes. Intensity is up there.
Hard to watch, this.
Fantastic defence. Ireland just don't seem to know what to do.
@Welsh Wonder how lit you gonna get tonight
The really important question to ask now is...
Is it worse to have dreams dashed this early and know that we'll be going out in a WC quarter final again, or to have done well in this 6N and be gutted when we go out in a WC quarter final

Cmon Joe, give Carty ten mins.
I love Joe but his refusal to remove Sexton, Murray and Best when they have been beyond shite in this tournament is very, very poor.
Regardless of whether Carberry, Marmion or Scannell could have fixed the shower of shit we've seen here, leaving those 3 on for an hour plus while they're grossly underperforming sets a standard that such poor form is acceptable. We want to be compared to the best teams but those 3 would've been hooked at half time of the England game if they were playing for New Zealand.

Sad to say but it's true. When we've been so stung by lack of depth at 10 in particular in the past, it's unforgiveable to at least give another one a go when Sexton is so out of form.
Fantastic defence Wales
Haven't felt this bad, and this resigned, watching Ireland for a long time.
never mind tonight, it's lit now
I missed most of this, how bad are we
I was overly harsh criticising Wales, probably a sign of how pissed off I am.
They've been immense in defence and intensity - real commitment and courage to throw everything on the line. There is no team in rugby I hate losing to as much as the Welsh but feck it that was an effort well worthy of a Grand Slam. Warriors.

Nineties bad.
We didn't deserve that.
Well deserved by Wales.
Oh Christy.
We haven't shown up. Watching this 6N would make you think Sexton and Murray are finished at the top. It feels like all of the gains made by Irish rugby to be tough to beat, competitive and innovative have melted away.
Well done Wales, well deserved.
Getting flashbacks.
Yep. Gatland must feel absolutely amazing every time he gets one over on Ireland.
Fantastic stuff. Yeah, Ireland were pure shit today but still, how to win the grand slam in style. Over the fecking moon. Wonder if Eddie Jones still thinks we're tired?
Gonna miss Gatland so much, been a superlative coach for us. Glad he goes out in the best way possible.

Will be glad to see Gatland gone, but that could me being a bit bitter
Yeah, suspect anyone who isn't Welsh will be happy when he's goneWill be glad to see Gatland gone, but that could me being a bit bitter
There is always 4 years when we integrate some of the U20 grand slam kids.
On this season it’s Joe’s fault, it very much reminds me of the season SAF was going to retire, as well as the amount of risks he took with the fullback position.
Quick start by England. I can relax and enjoy this game after that mauling in Cardiff.
Farrell looks like a special needs type when lining up his kicks.
Feck me, Scotland could be on to a record beating here.
Awful stuff from us today but I'm sure we were holding a lot back for the WC, ideally it would have been nice to stop Wales winning the GS but the world cup has been the focus since the England game
Thanks for trying, Ireland.
What on earth are we doing
What a crazy game.
That was a shoulder charge. No attempt to wrap the arms around.
Awful decision

Not sure what Jones says to England at half time but he needs to change it.
