[2023 Six Nations] Ireland v France - 11 February 2023

[Rinkadink]

It's shoulder on shoulder, not red.

 

[big ginger 8]

Standard way Barnes refs those for better or worse.

 

[Bluemoon]

Lucky boy, have seen red for that, but first contact was chest and then up... really difficult. Barnes keeping the game alive.

 

[ncurd]

Should been red think that's a nature of the match decision and bottling it which is rare for Barnes.

 

[Jimbo]

Genuinely think that's the right call

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Barnes now as popular in Ire as in NZ.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

If you think that's a penalty then you agree with the rfu. He hit him in the shoulder.

 

[Stade Rochelais]

Very tendentious arbitration which favors Ireland. There is no trial for Low.

 

[Groundhog]

If you think that's a penalty then you agree with the rfu. He hit him in the shoulder.

He's likely concussed because the hit rode up and chinned him. It's so very clear

 

[Reiser99]

Personally shoulder and his head dips slightly from contact.

Exeter players and social media, name a more controversial duo

Explain me.

Barnes called anything wrong against Exeter?

 

[AlRums]

Yellow only, no intent

 

[Bluemoon]

Hmmm didn't see Porter ground that... Fickou didn't complain but he might have been underneath that for me.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

He's likely concussed because the hit rode up and chinned him. It's so very clear

He hit him in the shoulder and got whiplash. If you want those hits to be illegal by letter of law you will have to lower the tackle height.

Also ntmicack should have yc for intentional offside.

 

[Rinkadink]

He's likely concussed because the hit rode up and chinned him. It's so very clear

No, his head whipped forward.

Exeter players and social media, name a more controversial duo

Steve Diamond and the print media.

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

If you compare that Atonio yellow card with the Charlie Ewells red card last year there is no consistency.

 

[ntun82]

Irish cleaning was savage

 

[Jimbo]

Is being on feet clearing out no longer a requirement 3 or 4 Irish players clearly over the top off feet!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

The absolute wheels on Sexton
