Jeez. What a step up from the Scotland game.

Initial contact looked fine it was just the arm coming up, in what looked like an attempt to wrap, that caught him high. Penalty yes but a yellow card??

What was that “ok” hand signal he gave there? That’s the same one the white power ejits are claiming these days…?

Did I miss the latest laws update from WR that allows Sexton to take 5 minutes for a conversion.

Slow-mo showed just how close Jordie was to stopping that try.

Coles comes on.
Immediately scratches his balls.
... then goes about showing who's reffing.

Ire have been excellent so far. Even Sexton who looked finished a year ago.

Silly argument. If a one team is negating another team's superiority through continually conceding penalties, they need to be punished.Blackmac wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 2:37 pmIt's the scourge of the modern game. Where is the illegality in just being beaten by a stronger pack. The whole idea of the scrum is a contest for the ball with one team having the advantage of the put in. It's has just been bastardised into this bollocks and its terrible for the game
It's like the arguments you see when a defender takes the head off a player legitimately diving for the line to score. Do it legally or don't do it at all.

Moody struggling. I noticed his head pop a couple of scrums back too.
What does "don't do it at all" look like in a scrummaging context exactlyUncle fester wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 3:47 pmSilly argument.

The scrum was a way of restarting the game and considered a contest for the ball. Often penalties are given when the scrum is just pushed back. You explain where the illegality is in that.Uncle fester wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 3:47 pmSilly argument.
