International Matches 10/07

[ASMO]

Looked flat to me

[Torquemada 1420]

Knee to head, Straight red card

"Have we got foul play?" Are you f**king kidding me?

Jesus. Why don't WR just come out and say: we are going to f**k over all small teams. Pathetic

[sockwithaticket]

Yep, he should be off for that. Not intentional I'm sure, but really reckless.

[ScarfaceClaw]

I think he was more trying to step over the ruck there. Clumsy as hell but shouldn’t be anything more than a penalty surely.

[ASMO]

That is seriously one of the most brainless things I have ever seen from Ludlow.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Yellow.

[Raggs]

How is that not a red?

Bullshit from the ref.

How can you argue low danger if the guy has gone off for hia.

[sockwithaticket]

I think he was more trying to step over the ruck there. Clumsy as hell but shouldn’t be anything more than a penalty surely.

Yeah I'm not sure why comms seemed to be struggling so much with what he was trying to do, that much was obvious.

[ScarfaceClaw]

How is that not a red?

Bullshit from the ref.

It was clumsy, nothing malicious and not a huge amount of force. I can see why it wasn’t a red.

[Raggs]

Yeah I'm not sure why comms seemed to be struggling so much with what he was trying to do, that much was obvious.

But he must have been aware of where the guys head was and kneed him straight in the face. You can stand on someone's faces either just because you're being clumsy trying to do something else.

[ASMO]

Ewels with his 3rd match contribution and Wells with his second

[salanya]

Sure, just put your hard boney knee in an unexpecting player's face.

He may not have meant it, but it's what he did, lucky not to get a red.

Since when did intent have any part in dangerous play decisions? Sorry ref: I didn't mean to discharge my gun.

Way more red than the Arg one which was clash of heads.

[Raggs]

That one as arguably ewels too.

Trying to take Hills shirt.

[sockwithaticket]

Jesus our discipline is terrible.

I don't disagree, only commenting on comms seemingly being so confused by what he was (cackhandedly and stupidly) attempting.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Good try Canada.

I think because it was such a bad decision and never on that they weren't sure he could have been that daft to try it.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Nice conversion by the flamer. England’s discipline is fecking awful. They seem determined to get a card each.

[sockwithaticket]

While I understand using the maul if it's proving to be effective, I'm not sure how much we learn by mauling Canada to death.

[ASMO]

The 12/13 axis is not functioning for me, get Marchant on

[geordie_6]

While I understand using the maul if it's proving to be effective, I'm not sure how much we learn by mauling Canada to death.

Hoping they will be sent out and told to only run strike moves off of lineouts in the Canadian half, but I doubt it.

That would be nice, I'd certainly enjoy seeing more of Radwan. Like you say, though, I won't be holding my breath.

[ASMO]

Smith called up for the Lions

Well...

[sockwithaticket]

Smith called up for the Lions

Not sure about that. He's mega-talented, but we've seen in these games he's not quite the same player away from a Quins outfit where he's familiar with the personnel and 100% the boss of what they do.

Should've been Ford, frankly.

[tabascoboy]

[Slick]

Smith called up for the Lions

Marcus? Christ.

Who’s injured?

[Torquemada 1420]

FFS dump this irritating bint.

Lovely to see.

[ASMO]

Smith called up for the Lions

Marcus? Christ.

Who’s injured?

Russell, staying with the tour.

[sockwithaticket]

Marcus? Christ.

Who’s injured?

They said it was for Russell, but that he'd be staying with the squad.

Yes. Or Hastings or Sexton.Bit bizarre

Nah. Hastings would be alright, though.

[Raggs]

Happy Ford isn't going. He can have a rest.

Smith is considerably better than either of those

[ASMO]

Slade has been really poor.

[sockwithaticket]

Slade has been really poor.

Certainly not been as influential as you'd want a senior international to be in this sort of team. But Eddie saw enough from him to take on the captaincy Marchant should've been on for him ages ago.

[sockwithaticket]

Become quite sloppy again and the discipline has been a problem throughout.

Erm, OK

[Torquemada 1420]

WTF happened to USA? Murdered against an Ire B/C team after looking pretty organised against Eng.
