Ireland v Fiji - 23/11/2024 (15.10)

[Jimbo]

Have refs got bored of pinging blocking lines now, that pen Fiji conceded for tackle in the air looked like one that would have been pinged thee other way a few weeks ago, could argue FP over rules that though I guess.

 

[Yulia]

Good start from Ireland

 

[Groundhog]

Huge opportunity for Ireland today to cement their legacy as a team that re better than Wales

 

[TRF_Olyy]

RIP Casey

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How are they not looking at that?
Shoulder to the jaw

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah that's red

 

[Saintjay]

Absolutely moronic

Are refs just scared to give a straight red now.

 

[Jimbo]

He's moved and braced for it no way can you call that accidental.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Yeah, yellow only I reckon. Low force, player falling and soaking it up.

 

[Gavin]

Probably a yellow but could see it raised to red for clear shoulder to head and no mitigation

 

[Jimbo]

Yeah, yellow only I reckon. Low force, player falling and soaking it up.

Disagree with the soaking element of this statement he's changed his angle and lent into it slowing his moment, it's not like he's back peddling as a players come towards him.

Tackle is always illegal as well, as it's a tucked arm

Depends how much mitigation they give the absorbing hit rather than dominant hit

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Not the most sympathetic pass to Osbourne

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I think he was trying to turn out of it and then braced for contact. Seen worse only given yellow. Probably red a few years back.

Fiji attacking the period very well.

 

[Jimbo]

That's criminal, the imaginary knock on losing them possession on Irelands line, I think most T1 nations get the scrum changed their way there.

 

[ChicagoKid]

Wunderboy eh?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Incredibly lucky

Even BOD can't get his head around it

 

[Amiga500]

That should be a red due to stupidity.
But as I say that, they've just talked it down.

Fiji getting rode by the officials again.

 

[dirty harry]

Ireland just getting away with the rub at the breakdown. Fiji were unlucky with the 'lost on the floor' call

 

[Amiga500]

And Casey ain't Dupont... so unless he can find a real point of difference soon - he's never gonna be seen as anything but a stop gap as he's too small.
