Wales beat Republic of Ireland 4-1 in Ryan Giggs’s first competitive match as manager, a League B Group 4 game in the UEFA Nations League.
The Man Utd legend’s Welsh side got off to a flyer in the competition, going some way towards avenging last year’s World Cup playoff defeat to Martin O’Neill’s men.
Goals from Tom Lawrence, Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Connor Roberts secured the win at the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday night, Shaun Williams scoring for the Irish.
Now here are the best jokes as Ryan Giggs’s Wales beat Ireland 4-1 in the UEFA Nations League:
The Danish Futsal/Students only lost 3-0 last night. #WALIRL

Republic Of Ireland have less chance of getting back into this game, than Ryan Giggs getting an invite to his brothers birthday.

I think the last time I was this embarrassed to be Irish was when we had Jedward on Eurovision #WALIRL

I'm starting to know how Giggs' brother felt.

Callum Robinson? Never heard of the bloke but he sounds like the type of a guy who wouldn't be good enough to make it as a solo singer on the x-factor but would get put into a boyband and then struggle to make it out of judges houses #WALIRL

So Roy Keane snubbed a handshake with Ryan Giggs after getting trounced 4-1 that's real classy if him. Nearly as classy as that time Ryan Giggs slept with his sister in law while his wife was giving birth to his child. #WALIRL

This is made all the worse by Ryan Giggs being a despicable man #WALIRE

In fairness it's not every trip away that ends up with the holyhead ferry crossing being the highlight. #WALIRL
