[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1125422, member: 45598"] Going to watch the game back in a bit, will probably fast forward through chunks. Definitely our worst game of the tournament, there always seems to be one example of playing badly and still winning in any Grand Slam and ultimately discipline ended up being the difference between the sides. We definitely got on easier with Peyper outside of the scrum and the big decisions going against England definitely made it less stressful than it could have been. It's obvious from my previous posts that I agree with the red and I'm pretty consistent with my position on head contact regardless of the teams involved. You can't enter into contact zones like that with a stiff arm. And when the ball carrier is already low you're risking exactly what happened. It's not a shot that makes me think anything less of Freddie Steward, he seems like an all star and I reckon he'll learn his lesson and avoid red cards in future. Hopefully Keenan got a few beers in but that may be ill-advised. Jack Willis was stupid, didn't end up being dangerous but it was a move that so easily could have been, no issues on that call. Shame for him because he was probably motm before that. Dublin was hopping last night, great day for the city. The squad really hyped the first Grand slam win in Dublin aspect and the city bought into it. From a rugby perspective it doesn't feel as big as 2018 or 2009, it feels like this team has more to prove. I reckon they'll enjoy themselves tonight but yesterday was another high pressure, must win game where we fell a bit flat, some of the bad kicks showed just how much they let the nerves take over. It's the last thing to address and hopefully something the Leinster guys can bring home and work out at that level - both Grand slams were followed by a Heineken Cup, looking forward to May, I'll be at that one!
