Very tough ask of the Welsh squad this Saturday, gonna be a tough afternoon for them and the Welsh Fans, this Irish side are so powerful and clinical that I'm fearing a spanking, to be honest!

2:15pm kick-off on Saturday.

At least there's next to no pressure on them as the clever money is on a stonking Ireland win.

We went out there in 2020, just before Covid kicked off, we got twonked then as well and then got fuking soaked walking back to a pub, fukall around the ground and its a fair trek to Dublin town centre, spent the night at Temple Bar, spent a fecking fortune, then got scared shitless on the flight home on the Sunday flying through a major storm. pilot had to fly down to the far end of west Wales then fly up to Cardiff, to dangerous to go straight across, I had white knuckles all the way back, I was still shaking half hour after I got off the Plane

Apart from that, good trip?

Probably can’t remember.

Less of an O’bumming than I feared. There’s a decent Welsh team in there but it’s 18 months or two years away. Just hope no one gets broken and we can add players like Morgan and Lake. I think we have a big problem at 10. Maybe Dan Edwards can progress.

Camped on thier line under the posts with 78 minutes gone and 24-7 down, if we could have got over the line a ten point loss would have been a great result, but eh, if my auntie had balls...

Cracking game between the sweaty socks and the sais going on at the moment

Ireland were too strong and streetwise for us yesterday, but the Italian ref was fvcking 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 fvcking penalised!!

Andrew Porter was rarely legal in the scrums, driving across rather than straight on, but this was ignored by the ref.

Well done to Wales captain Dafydd Jenkins, asking Piardi - whether he was going to referee both sides the same.

It was actually one of the worst I’ve seen…probably since the last time we were there . Given the blatant unfairness in Ireland at club and international level, again and again, you do wonder if the fix is in.

They’d beat us by 10-20 points anyway, but we didn’t get a decision until the game was gone at half time. There was no way we’d have been allowed to get close even if we had the ability to.
