Whatever the reason, it seemed that the Irish defence was able to shut us down bar maybe two or three half opportunities. Disappointing but a bit of a rest now to work on what needs to be worked on before next game.
The weather was poor but even factoring in that the kicking by wales was very poor , it was a ball up your jumper day today but they couldn't even get that right
