[2025 Six Nations] Ireland vs France - 8/3/25

[Ragey Erasmus]

Twice Ireland have taken out players off the ball now and that was never legal by any stretch. Ireland very lucky there.

The 'O' is still capitalised…

Bealham carrying well.

 

[curtbob7]

No surprise that both sides played better against England

 

[OllyM97]

Angus Gardner has got a Green shirt on here - what a surprise.

POM is a PoS then

"We looked at it"

Nit very well

 

[dirty harry]

Can we just take a second and appreciate how good Gardner communicates

 

[big ginger 8]

Better, thank you.

How can he be a tackle off the ball if he's ahead of the ball?

How can he be a tackle off the ball if he's ahead of the ball?

This will not be the last absolutely baffling decision today

 

[Jimbo]

How can he be a tackle off the ball if he's ahead of the ball?

Exactly at what point does it become obstruction if your running at the defence in front of the ball player.

 

[big ginger 8]

Not sure what Porter can do there, he can't become intangible like.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

"Andrew Porter is not deliberately trying to obstruct"

Like **** he isn't.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I mean it was clearly a tackle off the ball?
It wasn't obstruction because he chose to tackle someone without the ball, it wasn't like he was taken out

 

[TommiG88]

Not sure what Porter can do there, he can't become intangible like.

Evening up bad calls

 

[dirty harry]

Obstruction laws have become overly complicated Porter set to lift to 2 steps ffs

 

[Saintjay]

Absolute comedy gold

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a terrible period of play,
From Ramos stupid kick to Penaud's slow track back and then indecision in the 22

 

[Groundhog]

How far in the ******* side
