Six Nations: Wales 22 Ireland 30

“Watched some of the game, but then turned over for the Swans match. Gutted we lost in such a manner, no matter though... QPR at home is next!”

“Blackmamba I eill not resort to name calling ,but you have made my point for me,we changed the 10 and guess what same result another humiliating defeat.The point I am making is the problems in the Welsh team are far greater than simply blaming/castigating or dropping the 10.To be honest a combination of Barry John or Phil Bennet would struggle behind the pack that played in the Autumn or the one that played yesterday”

“We could have won this if only players used our wingers, who were seen screaming for the ball quite often and on more than one occasion. Again notice how the game started to flow once we replaced Mike Phillips, fast ball kept up the momentum. We allowed Ireland to dictate in the first half. Plenty to take from this game but, there are players who need to step up to the mark and take stock of their game, we should NOT have LOST this so easily in the first twenty minutes or so. Why are we still picking predictable players, when there are people playing on a higher plane. Hook should also be available no matter what. we have gone backwards by ten years or more.”

“Ah Slagheap, I think it is you that is clueless not the Wales no10 yesterday, compared to the inept displays from Priestland in Oz and in the autum series with the eception of the chargedown Bigger did well considering the service he was getting and playing behind a beaten pack in the first half. Hook is a talented no10 and when he first came on the scene with Neath he looked like he had the talent to be one of the Welsh greats, however he has failed to develop and still has game management issues. Bloodman, have a look at the Osprey v tolouse matches when ou have a chance and watch Biggar running the match aganst France best side, so PLEASE start with Biggar next week along with Tuperic and Paul James. Wales biggest problem at the moment is Howley, no tactical nous, cant Inspire and cant pick a team”

“Hooky has to be given a run at TEN, Bigger is a very poor player, would struggle to get into a premiership side. the Rabo league is rubbish.
James Hook plays quality, high intensity rugby EVERY WEEK, he has to start V France, he play against these players all the time.
PLEASE, give him a chance.”

“Re the comment from slagheap about my past comments about Priestland I hope he recovers soon he is young enough to learn but it does not provide the reasons why last year Preistland made so many bad appearances for Wales his kicks were bad his middle field passes were at times hospital passes and remember his failure to control the game and importantly find the stands awith his kicks when time is up!! his last one gave poor halpenny his injury because of his inabilty to close out the game that was down purely to him so losing again does show the options are poor the display today was again showing that Wales need a good leader a better coach and someone who has the ability on the field to read the game and change it if the game is not goping well this is not happening is it!? that said well done Ireland who obviously made a game plan to outsmart the run & hit options Wales had but opinions from us mortals will never change anything it is a small input view really thanks I still love Wales and please GIVE ME A WIN SOON PLEASE!”

“Ourgrampa your points are well made in fact they echoed mine after the Autumn series when so many people decided that all the ills in Welsh rugby laid at the door of a MR R Priestland,how wrong they and you were .”

“Terrible display from some players I watched Mike Philips on BBC his words were hollow and his performance left a lot to be talked about so slow why has Wales gone back at least 10 years to play like that in Cardiff what the hell are the players doing about their fitness at the start of games as obviously in the second half they showed a magnificent upload but all too late I hate saying they played well they did not do enough hard graft slow lazy forwards bad positioning by the both wings cost them the trys I put a always my welsh Jumper on all the flags hats banners up ready for the game by half time I had taken them all down and put on my adopted citizenship of Austrralian Jumper on sad start to what could have been an end to people lioke me wanting Wales top be so much better alas again let down Halfpenny shpould be King of Wales he has the hearty of a lion a great player thank you again after 8 games waiting for the win?? getting older boys hurry up? Tony in the city of Adelaide South Australia”

“I thought that was the worse display by a Wales no10 for many a long year.He has no clue how to run a game,sorry big ego poor no10”
