[2022 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (12/03/22)

[TRF_Olyy]

You lot usually wait for the end of the match to whinge about the ref.

Today you are surpassing yourselves

Didn't you just concede 22pts to Italy lol

 

[Jimbo]

Weird saying it given that they're a man down but England could live to regret not taking better advantage of their dominance.

It's hard when Ireland are allowed to illegally know the back out the hand from the maul both being off side and playing ball not the arm.

What is the rule on stopping for head injuries? The quick tap with Sinckler on the ground looks bad

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Would take that score at HT with 14, but 60-80, after benches both been emptied is the time I fear England will get picked off.

it's against French rugby by-laws to care about head injuries- only mistake Mathieu made was not quickly throwing sinckler a smelling salt

edit: but yeah we saw earlier with Pearce that he was stopping immediately if he saw a hint of a head injury. Probably should be a TMO like guy in the ref's ear looking for head injuries.

 

[Groundhog]

Henderson is costing us bigly rn. Think he's trying way too hard to make a statement. We also need to sort our set piece out. Killer to come on at 50 I would say. Been a weird game so far. Need to punish against 14.

The referee has been horrendous A disgusting performance from the first minute. England should complain about him.

Ref should stop the game if play approaches the downed player.
He ignored that with Ryan, he ignored it with Sinckler.

But it's for the ref to stop the game, not the players (though they can call the ref's attention to it)

 

[Aimless ponderings]

Maybe Lawes in the row is what our set piece has been missing

Yeah, and the fact the ewels should never have been there in the 1st place...who knew...spooky.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

This queen oasis matchup is atrocious. I'm not even English but I'm offended on behalf of your culture

Lawes is not a premiership lock any more so what makes people think he should be an international one?

 

[Geordie]

Also missed Furlong closelining Slade!

Cheers, doesn't sound like any change then. Wondered if they'd got a bit hotter on protecting players as have seen a couple of games stopped.

Oasis arnt english. Anything past the midlands is Scotland.

 

[wombles]

Time to break the game down into 5 minute segments for England. Focus on winning each 5 minutes and the result will take care of itself. (easier said than done though).

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Half time synopsis anyone? Just woke up
