Laptop: check.

Cup of tea: check.

A resurgent Wales able to beat Ireland away: hmm, I swear I left that somewhere...

Who's watching #IREvWAL #Rugby ?

If we can go three minutes without being scored against, that's a win in my book.

5 minutes 30.

Yup.

Knock-on, no?

Ref sees it. Disallowed.

Phew, good relief on that pressure, very different to be only 7 down right now.

Oh very nice play from Wales from a quick lineout. Clearly some coaching to drill a bunch of kicks today, been a few grubbers probing for touch.

Take. The. Three.

That's a bunch of very nice work from #Wales

Oh my.

Well, force another penalty now.

Ach.

Good grief some big hits today.

Cheeky offload.

"Must hook the ball"

What's next, requiring a straight put-in at the scrum?

Anyone else breathless right now? Pace on this match is intense.

Very solid defense from #Wales these past 30 minutes, impressive discipline. Gibson-Park back on.
Show threadjaz  Mar 6
Ohhhhhh lovely stuff, intercepted.
Show threadjaz  Mar 6
#Ireland no question dominant here, but only 7-3 on the board, speaks to defense and big tackles.
Show threadjaz  Mar 6
Solid work from #Wales but just can't keep that up forever, #Ireland cross for 5. 12-3 with a minute or two to go. Respectable scoreline but will Wales have the fitness to keep this up?
Show threadjaz  Mar 6
110 tackles made by #Wales this half. That's almost 3 a minute.
Show threadjaz  Mar 6
Oh. My. What the actual. What did I just see?
Show threadjaz  Mar 6
@greub will have a video replay I'm guessing...
Show threadjaz  Mar 6
Looks grounded to me
Show threadjaz  Mar 6
Gibson-Park knowing exactly where to stand.

@jaz Well, I just tuned in and Wales crossed the line. You're all very welcome. Perhaps if I keep turning the telly on and off we'll win by a margin!
Show threadjaz  Mar 6
@tehstu keep it up!

@jaz Completely, but it was somewhat expected.
