Ireland U20's 2022

Gibbons should be off IMO, think he took a cheap shot on the deck after he’d called the mark but it was incredibly stupid to lead with his head like that.

Yeah, he'll get a couple of weeks for that

I didn’t see it what minute was it in?

[LeRouxIsPHat]

The gap the Welsh forwards left in midfield after that last scrum because they were too tired/lazy to form a defensive line was quite extraordinary for this level and with only half an hour gone.

[Lock9541]

Yeah Wales have been really poor tbh

[Made Of Ale]

Worst try disallow ever.

[SaS]

Welsh tackling has been very poor.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Too late to pick Boyle for tomorrow?

[Lock9541]

Worst try disallow ever.

Agree, that TMO hasn’t a clue

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Worst try disallow ever.

Thought it was a good call tbh.

[OTT]

Boyle’s break was like watching a young Healy there.

Fair old difference in level of conditioning

Was standing his ground there’s nothing he could’ve done, can’t just magically disappear

Too late to pick Boyle for tomorrow?

Always knew he’d be one for the future after watching his performances in the 2020 schools cup, was constantly making breaks like that running half the pitch. Arguably the best loose head I’ve seen at schools level

He stood his ground…a split second after heading in the guy’s direction and had his arm up to take the Welsh’s guy’s arm. He wasn’t making the tackle but it wasn’t a bad call.

[Dave Cahill]

as it happens I'm 50:50 on the call, but the answer to this...

Was standing his ground there’s nothing he could’ve done, can’t just magically disappear

is

I don't care

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Fair old difference in level of conditioning

I’d say the Welsh lads want to kill their scrumhalf whenever he looks to take a quick tap.

Boyle’s break was like watching a young Healy there.

The great thing is, is he's literally breaking through at the perfect time for us. We badly need a backup LH to come through.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

A lot to like about that. Good set piece and lots of brilliant attacking play. Knew nothing about Culhane before tonight but he’s been outstanding. Boyle has been phenomenal, he can do it all.

Wales very very poor though. We had a big issue defensively around the channel but won’t be much of a problem for the rest of this game. Need to sort it going forward though.

[Oldschool]

Boyle was the one to track across from midfield and take the winger there

Gibbons should be off IMO, think he took a cheap shot on the deck after he’d called the mark but it was incredibly stupid to lead with his head like that.

Agree but the Welsh player made a swipe at him and if there was any contact the two of them could have gone.
Could still be a citing and if upheld, fair enough for either or both but Gibbons in particular.

[cormac]

I'd say they've had tougher matches in training

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Tapping and going from their own line when they’ve got one one of the most unfit teams in world rugby is…interesting.
