The Welsh are pretty happy with their victory over Ireland.
Neil Francis, for his "tub of Flora" comment about Warren Gatland, and Keith Wood in particular have been singled out by Welsh Twitter users for derision after the win. Wood said in the Western Mail that he was nervous going into the England game but though that Ireland would beat Wales by a couple of scores.
You wonder if Neil Francis and his tub of lard can be found for comment. A column that can only have dented his sides chances.

That's silenced a few Irish pundits-Neil Francis, Alan Quinlan, Keith Wood plus a few here who rated Joe Schmidt ahead of Warren Gatland

If you've been losing faith in test rugby, watch the Wales v Ireland game on replay. Stunning.

Wales made 289 tackles today. I have never, ever seen a defensive display like that.

I keep looking at the stat and it doesn't change. Luke Charteris 37 tackles. Extraordinary. Not to mention his three lineout steals.

@RickOSheaRugby @BBCRadioWales Rick massive performance from the boys. Gatland surely has silenced his critics Out thought Smidt!
