New Zealand v Ireland - Test 3 - 16 July 2022

[Groundhog]

We're gonna lose this now. Completely lost the run of it

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Kinda... should... be... a... red... tho?

Nope, they've been consistent about this in the premiership all season

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Oh dear NZ at a disadvantage now against 14 according to ole eddie

 

[big ginger 8]

Sheehan can make some great tackles but has a nasty habit of missing those ones.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That's the guidance isn't it?

Unlike a few weeks ago when it was an aggressive tackle that slipped off, and therefore classed as "passive"

Is it force or something within the guidelines? I reckon that's a red in URC.

 

[Groundhog]

Sheehan very poor there. Can't just let lads walk clean through you.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Akira really is one of the most talented "what ifs" we've ever seen in a black jersey.

Yup

 

[Grizwald]

Ireland looking a bit gassed here. Can't miss tackles like that.

 

[Groundhog]

Lol McNamara just said Rory Breast

What about last week..? **** me if you NH blokes don't bend every rule to your advantage.

 

[BrokenWing]

He said no mitigation, but going head on head with Brodie Retallick surely means he’s dropped height?

It's been a yellow all year in the Prem; and yes, I think it's "forceful vs passive" from the tackler in the guidelines. If the tackler is pushing up into the tackle, then it's a red all day; if soaking the ball carrier's energy to hold up or throw him down then it's yellow. But that's the Prem's interpretation - mostly led by Wayne, of course.

I'm not convinced it's any safer, so would actually like them to be red - takes out an excuse to downgrade it, and shows that it's about safety first and foremost - and then maybe they'd try coaching players to go a little bit lower... maybe.

Yeah I'll defend my half of the entire planets refereeing practices til I die. The English reading of the game and the French reading of the game is very different to our league. There really isn't a hemispheral approach.

Also the kiwis were very lucky not to have a second red last week. Swings in roundabouts.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Yes... Lets just play into what Ireland is better than us at... The breakdown. Lets not spread the ball with our runners to take advantage of the numbers.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Cracking try!
