[2015 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (Round 3)

[HenryChinaski]

Goode trying his damnedest to get turned over there.... unfortunately, Murphy went slightly off his feet before getting back to supporting his bodyweight and turning over. Close one... Goode basically deserved to be turned-over, though.

Zebo looking good...

The positive so far if there is one is that Ireland are not going forward terribly quickly with ball in hand.

SOB straight off his feet!
Literally had his shoulders on the floor!


Loved Binny beating Kearney in the air :lol:

Come off it, criticism of the ref here is pathetic.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Fantastic work in that maul - very smart.

Yeh, that was ridiculous - we'll never know whether if Joubert would have pinged him as we went back for the penalty....I like to think he would have, though!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Come off it

:huh: He literally did though


Maul time!
Except the jolly green giant nabbed it

Think he's referring to 90% of your posts since kick off being about the ref.

There we have it.....the ref must be a homer then!!!

 

[ratsapprentice]

SOB concussed.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

SOB's legs have gone - he'll be off the pitch now, or should be. Clearly heavily concussed.

 

[HenryChinaski]

From having the 'best lineout in the world' does Hartley now the worst?

Na, if it happened the other way you'd be calling for a penalty white. You see those type of turnovers every game with no complaint.

Line out hasn't been a strength with wood and lawes out.

 

[Jaguares]

Claps for Rory Best!

Yeah, I think there's some egg on faces here in this thread on the evidence so far!

You're getting the excuses in early. I've picked up at least 3 thing the refs missed for us.

 

[TommiG88]

Blocking

 

[Bluemoon]

Ireland look so much better with ball in hand. This Aerial battle has not worked for them so far.

 

[big ginger 8]

Vunipola the sort of guy you have to clear immediately.

Henshaw and McGrath putting in massive shifts.

You shouldn't call people out for it when, if you go forward a year or alternatively backwards a year to Ireland at Twickenham, you'll find exactly the same thing!
Besides, you're surely aware that crowds can and do influence referees, right?
