[2021 Six Nations] Scotland vs Ireland (14/03/21)

[AlRums]

Fair enough you even saw Hogg pause

 

[g6mcg]

Football nation innit

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What?
That didn't touch his head it was his upper chest/shoulder

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

James Lowe what the f was that. Every game he is costing us a try if that is a try

Can't blame him at all there

 

[munstermuffin]

No knock on there but my god Lowe needs to really step up to the hype. For all the talk of Larmpur/Earls being poor he has been awful this championship defensively

 

[munstermuffin]

Can't blame him at all there

100% you can for that error. Not fully for try but that is poor skills for winger of his level

 

[Lé Ddanno]

@ncurd We need you to explain knock ons again mate

 

[Reiser99]

I thought it was legal in real time. Lowe might have kept it in though for Russell.

**** off, I'm watching the cricket.

 

[big ginger 8]

Is that a language error saying it came of his head instead of his chest?

For dropping a ball lashed at him? Come on. He covered well and got unlucky. He's been excellent, you just have it in for him.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Scotland have had 15 seconds inside the Ireland 22 in the whole game and they're in the lead.

 

[g6mcg]

Pretty sure it was his chin not chest?

 

[Bluemoon]

Hogg RN

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Dominant scrum, dominant line out, dominant in the contact area, crushing the territory stats.... and down by 2. Magic.

edit: cancel the dominant scrum

We will just have to disagree bit seems all commentators think same as me.
Don't have it in for him just pointing out he has been terrible defensively. If you disagree fair enough but evidence is there

 

[Reiser99]

Also Hogg didn't stop because he thought it was a knock on, he was pulled back by Gibson-Park, which should have been a penalty if not scored.

 

[g6mcg]

Have we won a lineout yet?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Maybe,
You're allowed to tackle a player who's juggling the ball - he was grasping at him before the kick,
Think it'd be harsh to penalise him for not realising the knock on turned into a kick

 

[ncurd]

From the very little I've read head/chest doesn't matter. Unless there's a loosing possession arguement.

Knock-on: When a player loses possession of the ball and it goes forward, or when a player hits the ball forward with the hand or arm, or when the ball hits the hand or arm and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch it.

Just so some you are satisfied
