Ireland were too strong and streetwise for us yesterday, but the Italian ref was diabolical, especially in the first half.
He gave pens against us for offside, being on the wrong side etc (all correct) but then you could hear - "Ireland get back, you're offside, Ireland, you're on the wrong side, Ireland, hands off the ball" - no pens , just warnings!!
Plus, Ireland were clearing out in front of the rucks, sealing off constantly, while the lineout catcher was often protected by the lifter. When Wales did exactly the same thing we were penalised!!
Andrew Porter was rarely legal in the scrums, driving across rather than straight on, but this was ignored by Piardi.
Well done to Wales captain Dafydd Jenkins, asking Piardi - whether he was going to referee both sides the same. 😂 |
I saw at least two Irish lineouts that were definitely not straight the Irish 2nd row had to reach across to tap it to his scrumhalf, yet he wasn't pulled up for it. |  | | |

The best sides in Rugby will always be the most street wise. You could argue with Ireland's success rate against SH teams over the years especially New Zealand maybe they've learned how to bend the rules....the All Blacks were always the masters of dark arts. |
They lived offside and were often in front of the ball, they were clearly the better side, without argument, but we didn't get the same decisions that Ireland regularly had, although the Ref did make some bizarre calls in the game for both sides. | | | |

Its absolutely bonkers Buithy, this Welsh Squad will get better the more they play at this level, the two centres who played for the U20's on Friday look like a decent paring with good futures ahead of them.
The blame for the lack of talent coming through lies firmly at WRU's door, they've had a completer lack of foresight for over 20 years or more even. [Post edited 25 Feb 2024 13:53]

I would also say though, that any up and coming young Wales players are now put on a pedestal, and it plays in their heads. They think they are better than they are.
I have seen it first hand. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

First time I've seen a penalty given for a crooked feed at scrum time in I don't know how long too. |
When that scrum was retaken, the Irish scrum half threw it so crooked - it nearly came out through the back row!! 😂 | |

Porter is a beast ,as is Furlong. They are also head workers ,playing the referee. They are street wise .
We have fat kids for props and a hooker who can’t throw a ball five yards straight . Chuck in the fact they are mentally weak and an ingenue captain and that’s why we are so weak.
Players push the boundaries ,captains lead. This what made the likes of Johnson, and McCaw stand out players. In turn,cheats,monsters,bullies, leaders, inspirations.
I am not convinced with Dafydd Jenkins as a captain and would develop Wainwright as captain. He’s a terrific player already and leads by example |  |

This is a young Welsh squad, Gatland is playing a blinder by sticking with them, only better they'll get and it'll give other youngsters hopes of getting their chances.
It's all good IMO, Gats is no fool he knows what he's doing and he's hopefully waking up those clowns in the WRU. | | | |
