[2015 Six Nations] Ireland vs France (Round 2)

[TommiG88]

Terrible decision!

 

[Tony Manx]

Nah he's being a stupid twunt.

Yeah...........I like that word too!!

 

[Bluemoon]

Hmmm difficult one to call. Pape wasn't looking at Heaslip as he entered the maul, but he did lead with his knee. Commentator for the BBC is making a bit of a meal of it. Penalty and yellow is fair enough. Imagine that did hurt but Heaslip had no idea whether or not that was accidental haha.

 

[Chistera]

Papé, experienced player and ex-captain, behaving in the most stupid way...

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

who'se the irish commentator?

I find it pretty embarassing that he's so enraged about the sanction for Papes knee being only yellow when a year ago he defended Cian Healys stamp on Cole saying,'what can you expect if you're on the wrong side'

That is blowing possibly our best try scoring oppurtunity so far.

 

[TommiG88]

Best commentator today has been Moore! Questioning the penalty given away from McLean then changed the subject after seeing the replay.

There are a few very embarrassingly bias commentators on the beeb though.

 

[SelimNiai]

Phillip Matthews. Flies under the radar but he's as biased and one-eyed as they get. Rarely sees/is sure a penalty is one after Ireland concede yet is adamant ref is 100% spot on when theyre awarded one.

 

[Jaguares]

Pascal "Bakkies Botha" Pape...

 

[Bluemoon]

It would be very French for France to come back and to win this game . However, Ireland seem very much in control with their accuracy letting them down.

 

[ruggabee]

We are so lucky with bad French passes. They could have put us away last year if it wasn't for a bad pass. They messed up a try scoring opportunity in the first half of this game, and just then they messed up another opportunity with a bad pass. We are incredibly lucky against them. Also our back play is amateur.

 

[Tony Manx]

who'se the irish commentator?

His is one of the most one sided useless analysts that has the temerity to appear on tv................in any case, a slowmo replay always makes things look worse...he led with his knee but one usually does when you are running.

For me this match has shown yet again why the French think they do not get a fair crack of the whip in European matches from the refs but there we are Barnes is supposed to be in the top four or five so maybe we just do not know anything!!!

 

[Chistera]

Nice impact from the French front row replacements Debaty, Kayser and Atonio, both in the scrum and in open play.

 

[Rugga-lad]

Penalty. Great scrum. Come on France
We can hope

 

[big ginger 8]

Interesting that Murphy comes on for Heaslip and not SO'B, clearly not acting like some were suggesting.

Rory Best has had a terrible game.

 

[Tony Manx]

I have no problem with that yellow but there have been many instances of players in the mauls being yanked by the throat in this game so why this one chosen?

 

[Peat]

What the hell was that yellow for? Don't remember Barnes issuing a warning?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

For gods sake Bestwhat the hell was that for.
Please someone play some rugby!
Agree about Mathews.

Peat - for a kick/trip. Pretty blatent and Best didn't even complain

 

[Bluemoon]

Rory Best has had a terrible game.

He's giving Barnes so many reasons to penalise Ireland at the breakdown.
