Consequently not very entertaining to watch.unless your Irish or Welsh
Wales lost their full back early on, lee byrne,who is an attacking full back to boot and is one of their attacking strengths, the replacement who was not a natural full back,had to fill in.
Ireland then exploited this,by lobbing over Williams[5 foot 9],now if the full back hadnt been injured[how was he injured?]Ireland would not have had that weakness to exploit[another element of luck],although clever tactics by Ireland.
Wales missed one other penalty,JONES was not the kicker it was Henson.
no, it was not very good rugby, but IRELAND deserved to win the grand slam,they were the most consistent side,and they were effecient at stopping others playing,just like England used to be,but not my cup of tea.
bring on the All Blacks,IRELAND wont stop them playing decent Rugby.
