[2019 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (02/02/2019)

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is that a joke?
Committed and used his arms, that's a penalty at most

What's the difference between that hit and hitting a player who just passed it?

Wrong colour jersey

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What's happened to stander this season?
He used to monster everyone and he's just got outmuscled by a pretty small centre

 

[big ginger 8]

It's all the international cabal of cameramen's fault.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

What's a "Dominant Tackle" classified as on the stats? Behind the gainline?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Jack Nowell at 7
Looooool

 

[bushytop]

Yeah never a yellow. 3rd very harsh decision against England already

Yeah it's almost like Ireland at the Aviva are getting England-type decisions at Twickers...

 

[Reiser99]

Whether or not it was a yellow card or not, this is where England need someone to calm the down and get the aggression channeled without giving away penalties. Farrell definitely is not that leader.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Committed and used his arms, that's a penalty at most

Yeah, but it didn't look great in real time.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Whats really ******* me off this round is refs trying to go on judgement without the TMO but it's just not working. Those big calls are always worth looking at again

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, but it didn't look great in real time.

So use the TMO, it's what it's there for and has the powers to but in and say "actually you're both blind and he very clearly wrapped both arms"

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ireland and getting hit in the head with the butt.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

**** me dead how is Murray not penalised there

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Not subtle from Itoje.

 

[big ginger 8]

Did Earls steal the English packs lunch money?

That's worse from Itoje than Curry's.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Are Earls and the ref mates? Because apparently England just aren't allowed to touch him.

 

[curtbob7]

Jesus wept.

Another terrible decision.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Itoje was much worse than Curry (who was unlucky). I'd say Farces got them both wrong.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

**** me dead how is Murray not penalised there

Dangerous play would Trump it though

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

So use the TMO, it's what it's there for and has the powers to but in and say "actually you're both blind and he very clearly wrapped both arms"

but then we get the "TMO is ruining the game" crowd saying that the extra 2 minutes it took to referee the game correctly and world rugby actually listens to them for some reason
