[2018 6 Nations] Round 5 : England v Ireland (17/03/2018)

[RugbyMarvel]

Oh my god that’s awful

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

TBF Aki prob thought it was league since he is facing Te’o.

No card booooooooo

 

[Groundhog]

He wrapped one arm saved him from a carding of

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Absolute joke
The refereeing in this sport is an embarrassment, there is no consistency ref to ref, game to game

 

[RugbyMarvel]

The fact that wasn’t a yellow makes this Ref laughable

 

[HenryChinaski]

England would have been carded for that. ******* terrible call.
This game bangs on about safety and yet a no wrap with a head and shoulder on the head isn't registered as irresponsible and unsafe?

 

[ratsapprentice]

If Watson gets a penalty for his seatbelt tackle last week and this doesn't get a Yellow.....ducking hell.

WR need to issue some sort of objective, quantifiable guidance as to what is and isn't yellow.... it's the ******* wild west at the moment.

 

[ncurd]

Again out backs play to go out wide with about 10 Irish close in there was utterly pathetic

 

[ncurd]

Deserved for repeated infringments

 

[Pom in Exile]

I'd sort of forgotten how PC and vanilla the BBC is, reading that blog and this thread it's like two different games.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Have we scored from a driving maul since Back?

 

[HenryChinaski]

No knock on? **** this

 

[Groundhog]

How did they mess up a completely uncontested lineout

 

[ncurd]

How did they mess up a completely uncontested lineout

Cause we can't play well to save our lives at the moment.

 

[j-dawg]

Mako deciding not to lift that one...

 

[RugbyMarvel]

Fair play the Irish look good, they’re a very good side. But again totally inconsistent reffing is spoiling the spectacle

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Good to see forward dominance rewarded with a yellow card.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Watson ******.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Stander literally just did a forward roll over the ruck on top of the ball
Ref didn't bat an eyelid

 

[ncurd]

Finally!
