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

Nothing wrong with that,
Just cause he's injured doesn't mean it's illegal

Yep, just a committed rib tickler.

Alan Quinlan trying to make something of it on comms, but I don't see a problem with it.

 

[Jimbo]

Ouch…

 

[Groundhog]

Eh, fine for me. Committed. There'd be red call shouts here if we did it though

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Has an Irish player ever made a dominant tackle?

 

[TommiG88]

Now now... some of them teams in white deserve to be utterly shafted at all times.

Ulster?

 

[dirty harry]

Who is calling the Fijian lineout, if you've lost 3 to the back, why in your own 10m line would you throw to the back again?

 

[Groundhog]

In the interest of balance idk how we've kept this ball

 

[Amiga500]

Ulster?

Alain Rolland and Andy Brace def don't pass up the opportunity!

Paranoid? Me?
Its only paranoia when they aren't actually out to get you! [/tinfoil hat]

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The entire English team are twinks. Not an Otter, Twunk or Bear amongst them.

Marcus Smith is a twank versatile and you know it

You're showing your ass here. You can't be a twank versatile with that little body hair.

 

[dirty harry]

That's a bad decision, that wouldn't happen in any other game this weekend...

A catch and drive from a 5m lineout is always going to be a maul!

If both teams have hands on the ball from the lineout catch, is it ever a maul?

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

Fiji are so poor, there's a real chance that Ireland will learn all the wrong lessons from this match.
Prendergast does look good on the ball, but he wouldn't get the time and space in the URC, never mind against tier 1 opponents.

 

[Scotty]

Force is a consideration regardless I'm fairly sure and there was none!

I'm curious about this, isn't low force a mitigation rather than a ruling, shoulder to head so starting point red...low force mitigated down to yellow. Arm tucked so no mitigation applied, that's why I thought it was a red.

Yellow is the realistic outcome don't get me wrong

 

[AlRums]

What's the female equivalent of Sir when addressing the ref? Ma'am or Madam...or

This was discussed in an article yesterday, I forget where, and the consensus was "Ref"

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Pretty clear off the ball tackle on the support runner by Fiji

 

[Groundhog]

Jesus that's a stinker for Stockdale should have given it. I'd say he's understandably desperate for a score

 

[Yulia]

I have a pity for Fiji now..

Yeah no idea to be fair. Will trust the bunker, they shouldn't get it wrong.

Gus is having a day.
