Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Haven’t been able to watch it back but thought the yellow for POM was really harsh. In real time I thought worst you could say was he got his timing wrong but there was plenty of cover and he came through the middle?

He cant kick it either way. Not that we would have deserved it, but Frank is really awful. Why he gets these games is beyond me

Really happy with that performance. They look well coached, fit. Even the likes of Scannell put in a good defensive shift.

That’s a ref who has never played the game. It’s not unnatural when you’re off the ground like that and trying to get your other leg down to the ground. He’s looking the other way. Absolutely bollocks decision. Yeah that’s what I thought. But some on here are saying straight red. Just looked an acc...

Re: Game of the Tournament: Ireland v Romania, Sat September 9th, KO @ 14:30 GMT

Earls offered little to nothing. He shouldn't be there, and he shouldn't be getting a pass on the basis he's Keith Earls. Another load of bollox, he worked across the pitch on every phase was always on the shoulder, was involved in every try when on the pitch. But I suppose he's not a showpony like...

The lineout is a worry. Henderson is calling everything on himself and they are just following him around. Throw and timing all disjointed. It feels like its turning into a major issue over these games.
