This ref is whistle happy

 

[TommiG88]

Ashton's such a vile ****

In what way? For a small push.

 

[big ginger 8]

Ashton is an idiot...trying to start a fight with SO'B...idiot.

Hennessy is ruining this.

McFadden gone, grrr.

 

[TommiG88]

Touchy Irish.

Ashton pushes o brien and you take it to heart.

Only one winner there

 

[ruggabee]

Touchy Irish.

We just don't want him getting hurt.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Are you allowed to change refs ?

 

[big ginger 8]

Wolfhounds certainly winning the lineout. If only we didn't guve away penalties after winning it.

 

[TommiG88]

We just don't want him getting hurt.

It wasn't even handbags though, one slight push each.

The major issue in this game is the ref.

 

[big ginger 8]

Touchy Irish.

Ashton pushes o brien and you take it to heart.

Yes.

 

[SelimNiai]

The ref isnt that bad. In actual fact he's making, on the whole, right decisions. Its just neither pack want to follow any sort of rules at rucks. What else can the ref do if neither side want to make it a fair contest

 

[big ginger 8]

Ah ****.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Great try by England, Ewers and Kvesic have been brilliant. Watch this England run onto the ball at pace !

 

[TommiG88]

Our back row looks balanced. Shock.

 

[ruggabee]

Could see it coming. Irish defenders were struggling to get back and it was just a matter of numbers.

Ewers and kvesic look brilliant. Won't be seen in a full England side though.

Edit: kvesic again!

 

[Aristodemus]

Itoje! Jumps straight back up and drives 3 Irish guys back over the ball!

 

[munstermuffin]

Madigan just simply won't fit in as 10. He's trying to kick and it's clear the role he's being asked to play he's finding awkward. He's a running 10 not a kicking 10

One-man-rucking-ball!

To me, he's never been a 10. I haven't seen it all season. He's brilliant individually but it's better suited to the 2nd five position. I don't think he connects with the backs outside him that well. And at his age, I don't think we can keep calling him a young player that's developing for much longer.
