About the issue of Dupont, I would like the opinion of the forum

[penaltytry]

I´m 50/50, I can´t give an opinion, but I would like to know what people here thinks:

Were trying to injury deliberately Dupont?

 

[TW27BA]

No, just mindless off the feet rucking that should be addressed.
I don't believe Dupont was deliberately targetted.

 

[IT157]

The Ireland team should be banned and all their results in the 6 nations this year should be void. Meaning England just need to beat Wales to win the 6 nations...

Don't be a silly b0llocks

I don't think they deliberately targeted Dupont but the way Ireland go into rucks is consistently illegal and referees should be harsher on them - to be blunt, it's cheating.

Beirne hit the ruck on his feet and took two steps, Porter entered on his feet. Play on. It's a dynamic situation, anyone who steps on a pitch risks injury.

Edit: the rule change to take it out of the game is to remove jackling by the way. There's no way to get rid of a strong jackal currently without entering the ruck in a way that a player will not lose their feet soon after impact.
