Re: England v Ireland, Sat Nov 21st, KO @ 1500
That should be a penalty against Itoje. You cannot shout like that on the opposition line out. A real lack of class every time he steps on the pitch. Such a plum It's the same law as for shouting during a kick, I've seen it penalised at club level but Itoje just screaming there really should be pin...

Re: Racing Sarries
Russell puts way too much on it just idiotic That's literally his game. The lazy French defences make him look like a genius. Against a decent press he often looks lost, and does things like that stupid slap on. You said? :lol: :lol: It's true. He'll try those sorts of Hail Marys 9-10 times in a ma...

Frankly there's still a lot that goes unpunished when it comes to making high contact with try scorers.
