We have ourselves a rather confused double agent ladies and gentlemen

Seems to be a lot of buthurt Welsh fans about the Lowe try.
I was amazed that it was given, but can understand it on the basis of the question asked/on-field decision.

It had no impact on the result, and we we done by a bad non-decision ourselves, so meh.

The Wales situation is a funny one ...

Just rewatched the 1st half and while "butchering" two tries is maybe harsh, Murray certainly didn't help.

Firstly when Porter was held up, the pass was head height and behind (a far too frequent characteristic of Murray's pass these days) Porter, meaning he had to start off his carry by twisting ...

One thing that hasn't been commented here and which I think is significant, is that Ireland have proven they have enough depth to lose key players and still win. This was my only question/doubt about their RWC prospects. They have answered in style yesterday.

In fact, it looks as if France were ...

Watching the replay here - Ross Byrne played out of his skin when he came on.

Or did he???

A lot of wank in there. People are obsessed with someone who can do it all on their own off the bench rather than ...

The carry and pass from Doris to Ringrose for the final try - Jesus Christ that lad is on another level

Watching the replay here - Ross Byrne played out of his skin when he came on.

Re: France having peaked.

What we saw was that France struggled to prevent Irish possession. They could not find anyway to turn over the ball. Thst is one big change.

The other one is that France changed its tactics and try to play ball in hand, including attacking from our 22s. And we are ...

Old age

And then Murray drops.

I think I understand the impression he butchered loads because the period around Hansen’s chance sees a couple of poor passes, him being held up and then him dropping over the line.

Had no issue with his play up to then and he was very unlucky rather than outright butchery ...

Talk of Atonio not getting low misses the point (he didn't of course and that's relevant, but it's not the starting point). The issue is that his arm was tucked and he led with the shoulder. And this was not once referred to by anyone - ref or commentator alike.

It was a deliberate act of foul ...

Touching the grass after the grounding was way later on. And no where near the touch line... the ball was a foot in the air before being grounded at the point he touched the ground...

Obvious ...

No sympathy for Penaud. He did precisely the same later on when he smashed Sexton who was punting the ball. Got the timing just right, which was all Barnes cared about, calling it as much, whilst utterly ignoring the no arms aspect.

All the talk about peaking early re teams - he's not the ref he ...

Sorry Torq but “everything humanely possible” would mean he made an effort to wrap the arms, which he clearly did not

You are in Lala Land if you think it's possible to get even close to wrapping in that scenario.

Of course you can, it just wouldn’t have gotten him into touch. Players have ...

It’s also a great angle of the no arms tackle. Penalty try.

Yep
There was no effort made at all to tackle Lowe
It’s a shoulder charge

I wondered why that didn't come into discussion at all at the time. This has been brought up many times now i.e. what is a defender to do if an attacker ...

Beirne "not looking too good at the moment", and Sexton said he went off after Antonio landed on his groin.

That's a big ouchy !

This is a big loss

Makes you wonder why they didn't show this angle at the time?

Good point, taken out in the air, red card and penalty try

Nah. Yellow card and penalty try. And considering sexton missed the conversion, you’d think they’d ...

Because it was after he placed the ball down.

The ball is a foot above the ground in that picture!

Also confirmed by video footage..

It’s also a great ...

Thank you ASMO for your gracious hospitality. As for the rest of you go suck it

Not much point talking further until it's confirmed TMO only has access to angles given. My understanding is they get all camera feeds but happy to be proven wrong.

Anyone have the incriminating angle?

That was some game. The heart rate is only slowing down now. The two best players in the world lighting up Lansdowne Road.
So many good performances. Great cameos from the bench. Smart rugby under pressure.

It was the Irish injuries that worried me but this is a serious serious machine now ...

He has it all.

Ringrose just handed off a French defender like he wasn’t there

Pretty appalling tbh. But quite funny.
Game ruined by the officials

One of the best test matches ever at Lansdowne so no.

A sternly worded letter perhaps?

Worried Beirne is badly injured
