[IT157]

Terrible penalty to give away from Itoje

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sexton the only 10 in the game that's given on

That's a card

 

[sergeblanco]

Bit dum of Dombers !

 

[McTallshort]

FFS stupid penalty

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's a card

Agreed, yellow for faking a head injury

 

[higgik]

Itoje has been having health issues, so if not 100% fit then why playing.
Beginning to think that EJ comment about RFU interference in picking team maybe right.
Image rights over performance.

 

[Reiser99]

That's the stupidest of the lot.

 

[McTallshort]

Letting Ireland get into this

 

[Ceteris]

Itoje with the stupid penalties all tournament

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Agreed, yellow for faking a head injury

Allowing off the ball shoulder charges but not tackles above the waist over there now?

 

[Houseplant]

Terrible penalty to give away from Itoje

It's a pretty low IQ move from someone widely lauded as a very smart operator and rugby brain

 

[McTallshort]

Ireland sealing off at the beeakdown

 

[Scotty]

I think ireland will win this but good to see england have turned up and are a physical force, Englands attack isnt at the level but it can grow going forward.

 

[Rinkadink]

Allowing off the ball shoulder charges but not tackles above the waist over there now?

Being serious for once that wasn't a shoulder charge nor really off the ball.

See France v Wales thread for similar yellow card calls for simulation, which Sexton clearly was doing and has plenty of previous for.

 

[Groundhog]

Cut the shite no look passes. We're playing way way more rugby. Quinny talking out his arse on Virgin about how well England are doing. I don't really buy that.

 

[Ceteris]

We've missed 15 tackles already?

 

[Crash Hamster]

Peyper and the scrum... this will be interesting...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lol that's a lucky penalty, Sinckler going backwards at a rate of notts
