15 penalties conceded by Asutralia.

Whats worse is he said deliberate. A deliberate knock on is a card all day

Even the commentators are calling the lack of cards a joke at this point.

umop episdn

A yellow to be given @ 78.46

Clegg

Furlong motm for me.

vienne86

Sexton OK? What's he drinking? Cramp?

Furlong is a legend. 71 minutes - wow!

Ref left the cards in the changing room at half time.

Me too. But everyone's played well today. Very few errors.

vienne86

Tough start for Porter.

umop episdn

Ref marked Porters carde straight away there

Ire must have had 80% possession.

Incredible maul defence. How it wasn't called for not moving I don't know.

WTF

Am I taking crazy pills or has maul interpretation completely changed???

steves2

How long did maul stay still there?!

vienne86

Phew! Oz now do what Ireland have done more than once - blew it.

5 minutes by my count.

Phipps is useless.

Gidea

Here we go magic TMO again

Dave_The_Sheep

If this gets given, given the one last week I'll be fuming. It'll be a yellow too if it is.

Faugheen

See? That's what Ireland need to do. Put pressure on the ref if you want to get your cards.

We've been far too quiet

fitz

If there is a deliberate knock on, at least we know it won't be a yellow card, right?

Ha. Same as last week, checking it this time. Fcuks sake. Sick of this ****.

laugh

Ha we are getting another Yellow here.

Hurrache

If it is a deliberate knock on, and he gives a yellow, it's a farce.

Clegg

McGrath is going to get a yellow.

Gidea

If its a deliberate knock then its no yellow if it wasn't given 10 minutes ago

vienne86

And Ireland will get a yellow....... bet yah!

Squidgy Black

Ah McGrath that was stupid.

Mrcaramelchoc

What's in the small bottles they drink out of?

Gidea

I'll be ****ing fuming if its a yellow

umop episdn

I can see us needing a lot of vaseline here.

Priceless.

Amazing.

PhlegmyMoses

Ref has been awful inconsistent. Unreal. They've done that twice ffs

Think it's similar to the 5 hour energy shots.

Is it actually permissable to go to the TMO for a non foul play incident that is not a question of a potential try?

Clegg

I don't go in for blaming the ref on things.

But there's no consistency in his decisions at all. If Foley's knock in isn't a yellow then McGrath's shouldn't be.

thomond2006

How on earth was Foley then not carded?

Hurrache

So wait, 2 deliberate knock ons against Australia, no yellows. Several penalities and warnings on their try line, no yellow.

1 deliberate knock on against Ireland, a yellow. Wtf is going through his head?!?!

vienne86

Oh for the love of ***** Why do we have a yellow now and not at the other end????

Buer

Utterly hilarious.

razorblunt

FFS McGrath. I can't abide by penalties like that.

The ref has backed himself into a corner though Foley doesn't get a yellow with an overlap.
Awful stuff.

steves2

That's an absolute joke

That's a yellow but its pretty remarkable we've had 2 yellows to their 0..

Chex LeMeneux

I'm sorry but that is ridiculous inconsistency

Gidea

Thats a Farce. Walk off the pitch lads Because thats an absolute robbery

If the TMO or the assistant alerts the ref that there may be something that could be checked then yes.
