I thought it was a general confidence issue. Ramsey aside there was no willingness to change the tempo or make a penetrative pass. Everything was conservative. No runners going past their markers. Ireland are Wales in progress, moving to a less back to front team but lacking the willingness to move the ball quickly. Still it was quicker than we did.

Ball possession is important at international level but so is the speed with which you use it. Both sides gave it away cheaply and were pedestrian in trying to get into threatening areas. That said I lost a few quid on a flight there but the game wasn't that much different to the two previous I did attend, enlivened only by Harry Wilson's sublime free kick.
