[2023 Six Nations] Ireland v England - 18 March 2023

[Leonormous Boozer]

Think it was totally accidental to be fair to Steward but you have to give red. Very awkward and stupid movement.

 

[sergeblanco]

Game over.

I think he reacted naturally in protecting himself by turning away from the falling player. I think that's incredibly harsh - the mitigating factor is that in real time he didn't have time to change his body angle due to the speed of the incident. Yellow would have sufficed.

 

[Scotty]

Ffs

 

[AlRums]

Correct decision

 

[Reiser99]

It's was clumsy, but I always remember, don't give the ref the opportunity to send you off.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Everyone should just start punching Mack Hansen now, 15 red cards,
50-0 walkover loss is no different to 50-6 or whatever this is gonna be

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Oh FFS.

Can't argue but no idea what else he could have done.

Open up the body and soak up the the impact.

 

[higgik]

What has the game got to when that is red

 

[Gavin]

Few years ago that would have just been a rugby collision. You could see he was trying to brace for the impact, it's unfortunate but definitely a red card

 

[General Melchett]

Technically a red but harsh all the same

 

[big ginger 8]

Three years in a row this fixture has had a red?

One of f those was won with the team that had a red. Tired of the inevitable 'game over' comments there's a red.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Open up the body and soak up the the impact.

Absolutely no chance in the time available. Fantasy comment.

 

[Bluemoon]

Sad to end the tournament like this. Damp squib now.

 

[Aristodemus]

I think that's harsh myself

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

What has the game got to when that is red

Game's gone soft.

Why give it a red. Keenan did not have full control of the ball and Steward was having to react very late.

 

[Protalus rampart]

Ireland were most likely always going to win but now it's a forgone conclusion. Very harsh imo, slow motion always makes it look worse than it is

 

[McTallshort]

Open up the body and soak up the the impact.

He has a duty to protect himself
