Monstrously embarrassing, that. And right in front of the AR!

TBF - the AR was unsighted by the tackline player. Still a bad miss, but I can see how it happened.

Sensible decision. Not sure what the ref meant by the Waratah trying to get back to his feet. He wasn't but either way, if he crawled, he crawled. Is there a law against crawling? I mean I know if you're tackled you must release the ball. But if you're not tackled, and are just knocked over, are yo...

It wasn't foul play, but you can't get more in at the side! Totally illegal

Isn't there a law in rugby that there is no "touch" in goal. What I mean - as weird as it sounds - but by the lawbook, it's legal to have your body out, and reach in goal and ground a bouncing ball and it's still a try? I think they might have f-cked up there. If any part of his body put that ball ...

He's having a stinker.

Ball was meant for Jones out the back - Stuart got in the way. Shit happens!

Between the bounce and the pickup, I'd be applauding the attack rather than criticising the defence.

That's a reasonable way to look at it, but vdM showed a total lack of bollocks.

You keep implying that people get arrested in the UK for saying mean things on social media, but have entirely failed to back it up. Give us one example where this has happened. There was a guy arrested for posting a picture of jd vance with a bald head? Is that what he means? He wasn't arrested - ...

Clarkson could be Ireland’s next tighthead Could end up a Lion yet with the injuries sinkler is the next tighthead off the rank- really like what i've seen of clarkson though.

Cork is a dual county - Kerry and Dublin have no hurling teams Kilkenny, Limerick and Tipperary have no football teams. We’ve won both in the last 20 years. Fucktard needs some anti fake news tag. Tipperary and Dublin play both and are both actually not bad at their second code. Talk about picking ...

While obviously the 'cramp' and the wink was the most visible part of the Sharks shenanigans, the much much bigger issue was all of their staff on the sidelines shouting abuse trying to put off the kickers. A better ref would have asked him what was wrong - refs regularly do this. And if he said cr...

Charactising the 2011 French team as 'loaded with all-time greats' is pushing it a bit! I stopped reading after this bit. The French side that beat England in 2011: Medard, Clerc, Rougerie, Mermoz, Palisson, Parra, Yachvili, Poux, Servat, Mas, Pape, Nallet, Dusautoir, Bonnaire, Harinordoquy. Replac...

Fact: England were reigning 6 Nations champions when Lancaster took over. Is your contention that Martin Johnson was on the right track and should have remained in his position? That it wasn't largely a continuation of the chaos of the Ashton/Robinson era? With the exception of the World Cup (fnarr...

He's leaving what was a top flight gig to go to the West of Ireland. He took a jokeshop England that had been in the doldrums since 2003 and turned them into a competitive outfit. A transformation that Eddie benefited from to win a Grand Slam. 2015 was hilarious though :P Fact: England were reignin...

The absolute paucity of high end coaching talent at the moment means that jokers like Stuey here can still get a top-flight gig. This is the bloke who took a fantastic England side, and led them to a zero 6N titles and a home RWC group exit. The same bloke who guided star-studded Racing to 12th in ...

Why didn't Scannel take the ones directly in front and have the most experienced kicker take the ones on the right?

Scannel didn't look confident at all going into it and really should have been given the easiest kicks.

Nope, then a prop who had a great game will get the wrap for missing the winning kick and 30 kicks will take forever.

It did look like it might not have been controlled on first glance but no idea why they needed to go to Holly as it was clear cut in slo mo.

I'd say the tmo just didn't want the half time whistle to go before he had the chance to review it.

Even Yannick Bru getting in on it is fairly embarrassing. I've already mentioned Aldritt. Galthie was a disgrace after the 6Ns game in Dublin this year. I said it on the Irish thread yesterday. Massive generalisation but the French tend to be absolutely terrible winners. Fairly gracious losers mind...

I knew there had to be somebody I wasn't remembering - when I asked the question before, nobody pointed out Kilcoyne.

But Leinster are great so fúck them. That's the IRFU approach. Maybe instead of trying to lay the blame on the bogey man in Dublin, those more closely responsible should be held accountable!
