    It's ITV, I'd have half expected that small chef to be dragged out.

    General question relevant to Irelands travails with injury yesterday as well as Italy in the first half :

    - should tactical subs be taken out of the game again.

    Before subs existed, it was an unfortunate loss to a team to lose a player. Subs were brought in to redress this element of fortune. Then tactic subs free-for-all. Which made the game not a 15 man one any more but now a 23 man one, players generally subbed to maintain the intensity and speed level rather than any truly tactical motivations (as football could argue where a chasing team brings on a striker to rejig their formation - rugby doesnt lend itself to playing 9 backs for eg). But his has had the effect of putting back the element of bad luck on a team needing to make genuine injury substitutions, particularly early in a game. Blunting their capability to keep up with the opposition in the last 20-30 minutes influx of fresh legs. To to row back on this one ?

    It should have been. Just because he didn't injure him doesn't mean it wasn't reckless
