Sailing close to the wind, but without the shoulder to the head…..
….?

grubberkick

So, head on head is a red card for one of the heads, or maybe a red card each?

Arguing with a ref can produce a remarkable change in perception of infringements.

grubberkick

Hmm, tricky one. I guess it depends on who the officials are. In recent games, one player was injured, apparently due to finger/s in the eye, and medical attention needed; no infringement. In another game, investigation showed finger over eye, no medical attention needed?, but it was a red card beca...

The game was lost over the last 10 mins when France showed some belief and Wales panicked and crumbled. Just didn’t manage to hold it together, or maybe risking pens seemed the best option. Over the ball carrier with hands on the floor has been pinged many times. Great game.

grubberkick

Goodness, that was close. Wales lost it after the French red card, calmness went out the window.

Gatland is going to find it difficult to justify many England players in the Lions after this 6N. Poor play plus penalty machines.

grubberkick

Gatland will just have to settle for the Wales team..

It seems a long time since Scotland couldn’t infringe even if they tried against England....

With the odd whistle

Can Scotland really be that loose in he 2nd half and win.

grubberkick

Scrums really are a farce..

grubberkick

Poor ball handling both teams

and Scotland somehow ahead.

Scot in wrong side but pen to Scotland!

Scrum jiggery pokery on Ireland putin

How are Ireland only 5 pts ahead?

Keep you pecker up Globby, so to speak.

Great game. Two moments of brain fartery by Dulin changed the momentum to England. Just a comment on the turnovers in the tackle area. The ref got the last Earl one correct, but there were a couple earlier in the game, that in the SH, the refs would have penalized against the defending player as th...

Shaun Edwards has transformed French defence. Wonder if he will finally end up with England.
Good game to watch.

Can a team captain simply ignore a ref instruction to talk to his team? of course he can - you can't force someone to talk to people. So Farrell went along with the ref. whose response was to stuff his team? Look you were beaten by a much better team get over it . It wasn't a 1 scorre game like whe...

The ref might, unofficially, have made the biggest single points contribution?

grubberkick

This does not look like a 'we thought they were going to kick at goal' scenario to me. England were not prepared for any scenario. When I did my ref training long, long ago I was taught that the three guiding principles were, in order, safety, equity, application of the law. Putting aside safety, i...

Can a team captain simply ignore a ref instruction to talk to his team? Does the ref actually intend that the captain talk to his team together or just intends that the captain shout something to the team? What does the laws of the game stipulate regarding time off for referee’s instructions to be f...

0 Has any side had more of a charmed run than this Wales side in the Six Nations? It's like the Springboks at a world cup. I love it when a few bitter tears get shed so long after the event. It's such an added bonus, like finding some chips at the bottom of the packet after you thought they were al...

23 secs is more than enough to follow the ref’s instruction to communicate with team In a meaningful way. Goodness, in 23 secs the forwards have almost started removing bits of sod from their studs before commencing the 5 min scrum. In 23 secs the players are almost part way through having a get tog...

Maybe forwards will think before charging into the ruck shoulder first. How else you're suppose to shift bodies? Legally? Do you think players deliberately went out to get a red card? Those hits happen all the time, sometimes the victim may dip his head or change position prior to collision. In fac...

I believe the Union is presently being sued by ex players for head injuries.

Wales no. 5 is a pen. magnet.

So that’s what an excellent, balanced refereeing display looks like.
