Struggled ? What ? A bonus point, another try disallowed and wales had a penalty try. They weren’t outstanding but they didn’t struggle

[@peadarr]

Don’t really think the linout is essential to Irelands attack, they can make meters against anyone. The lineout was a disaster against SA but they still made meters.
The problem is how they lose up to 50m of territory every time they mess one up

struggle?

[@GarretMr]

4 tries and a fifth held up, is that a struggle?

[@brianmulholland6209]

That's what I was gonna right.... Wales got loads of praise for getting pasted. And eire played badly.... unbelievable. It will just make the Irish team annoyed' and they are gonna shove it down the throats against the English in their next game. Just to prove apoint.

@@brianmulholland6209 It was the same when Ireland beat England by their biggest score ever. It was all about England because they were dominant in the scrum.

I wondered if they kept a few moves back for the next 2 games??

[@johnmc3862]

They didn’t struggle that much.

The Welsh defence was good in parts. Characteristic of Gatlands teams.
