The British press react : ‘Wales were physically battered at every point’ via IrishTimesSport
You could imagine if Ireland were beaten as soundly as Wales were on Saturday how negative the mood of the rugby public would be.
“Much better Wales teams have suffered badly in Dublin” he claims. “For instance in 2014, when a side containing such greats as Sam Warburton, Alun Wyn Jones, Adam Jones, Taulupe Faletau, Mike Phillips, Jamie Roberts, George North and Leigh Halfpenny were thrashed 26-3 - but this had the feeling of a defeat with much wider consequences and explanations.
“He’s won 10 matches out of 23 since taking over at the start of 2020 and Wales have Scotland at home next week followed by England at Twickenham and the visit of tournament favourites France to Cardiff. “Tadhg Furlong, for example, is a tighthead prop. At one point he put Sexton through a gap with the deftness of a man half his size. It is difficult to overstate the absurdity of the mere idea of a tighthead doing things like that last century. Do not go thinking he was shirking his other duties either. The man scrummaged and bulldozed as much as ever. But let us not pick on Furlong. Ireland, all of them, were a blur of moving parts.
“It meant the home side produced a stream of quick ball, allowing their back line, with Garry Ringrose a magisterial presence, to weave all manner of intricate patterns and shapes off the ageless Jonathan Sexton, and for the debutant wing Mack Hansen to roam menacingly all over the Aviva Stadium turf and his wide partner Andrew Conway to reap the benefits on the scoresheet.”
