Irlande - Fidji - 12.11.22

That's the maddest TMO check I've ever seen.

 

[Jimbo]

It's marginal and will not have a bearing on the outcome of the game but that crawling gets pinged every week in the prem.

 

[Groundhog]

I thought in the stadium he was checking the 9 chinning O'Brien lol.

 

[AlRums]

He was blatantly crawling towards the line, should have a penalty to fiji

Shall we ignore the tucked arm hit that landed him on the floor? Was such a marginal 'crawl' and he wasn't held, it had zero outcome. If we'd have scored off it that phase I'd say the ref would have struck it off though.

To be fair I thought we had a knock on in the build up though.

Aviva atmosphere update: a family of four have shown up 30 minutes into the game and someone beside me has gone for pints twice already.

That's a fine turnover, can see why he's fuming

You have shown yourself to be extremely impartial and well versed in the laws of the game in this thread. I concede this point.

Alpha Bro is a fidget spinning fridget from Fidji

 

[AlRums]

Example there knock on to Fiji, Fiji get the ball, advance and clear then back for knock-on five yards from line. Very poor reffing

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Another maul
Cowardice, that's all it is
Cowardice

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Fidji deserve at least 25 points for the Rugby 08 tackle attempt there.

 

[Gavin]

This game is well boring. When Fiji have the ball it's fun.

 

[Groundhog]

Is fair dull tbf

It does look like Fiji are being pinged for almost everything whilst Ireland very little, I think however the reality is Ireland have had the lion share of possession and put Fiji under so much pressure that the Fijian infringements are probably 5 - 1 and some getting missed on both sides.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Would like to see Crowley get good minutes, Carbery really not making things difficult for Fidji. It feels like Fetish is running the show and he's not the type of 9 to do it.

 

[AlRums]

Another blatant forward pass missed

The one to Hansen? No way

 

[OllyM97]

Every time I see Mathieu Raynal referee he infuriates me. How does he even get games at this level?. Thinks it's all about him.

Was thinking there seemed to be zero atmosphere in the stadium.

I like Nicky Little on the mic
