    Bizarre penalty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,525 ✭✭✭kilns


    Worst referee in the world bar glen Jackson referring this no doubt he will be controversial

    England kicking everything again..

    Drives me mad that virgin media's feed is such poor quality. It's like being back in the 90s.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    These hits are absolutely huge.

    Best result for Ireland here is for Wales to completely demolish England, right? Try and reduce their points difference as much as possible.

    What ideal from an Irish POV? 8-0 Wales??

    No, 50-0 to Wales would be ideal. It would destroy England's point difference.

    Wales are lucky that was just a scrum, clearly squeeze ball?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Gareth Davies. Holy ****

    The blocking on box kicks is getting ridiculous. How are England getting away with this?

    Tipuric had to tackle Nowell THROUGH Wilson.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,034 ✭✭✭Amprodude


    Cant see Wales winning this. They are a bit sloppy so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,276 ✭✭✭Thrashssacre


    So realistic Wales need to beat England and without giving them a bonus Point of any sort and England also need to fail to get a bonus point against Scotland to even give us a shout of winning on points difference?

    Yep. And even then, we'd need to get a TBP for all three games. Including Wales away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Refereeing is very generous towards England thus far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,920 ✭✭✭✭stephen_n


    Sinckler dropped that and England get the penalty, bizzare.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,034 ✭✭✭Amprodude


    Englands slam to lose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Offside is being reffed appallingly.

    A lot of England's recent great form has come down to routinely flouting rules that are badly enforced.

    Byrne commentates like he's sitting on his couch sipping a pint.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,164 ✭✭✭blackwhite


    Offside line appears to be an alien concept here

    Wales haven’t quite realised yet that England aren’t resourcing rucks at all.

    England haven’t been resourcing rucks in any game so far


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,107 ✭✭✭realhorrorshow


    Pick and goes are a good counter to the linespeed/constant offsides.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    Sloppy from Wales. Welsh heads will drop now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    What on earth happened?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,920 ✭✭✭✭stephen_n


    That was brutal defence from Wales

    Did he instantly call a Wales offside there while letting England be offside at every single phase?

    Yeah, Wales are getting the shaft a little bit here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    What's the point playing when the referee is such a ****ing idiot?

    Lawes wasn't even close to legal on that strip. England are getting away with murder so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,034 ✭✭✭Amprodude


    Wales never believe they can beat England. No guts about them.

    Wtf was Tipuric doing there?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,361 ✭✭✭ongarite


    Dreadful from Parks there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    Curry getting away with a hand in the ruck off his feet as well for that turnover.

    You must have missed last year's game. Wales were robbed in Twickenham.

    Laughable officiating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,248 ✭✭✭✭BoJack Horseman


    Who knew that becoming an international referee was a matter of collecting cereal box tokens!

    Jaco Peyper having an absolute mare here




  • Farrell straight off his feet, can't understand the ref there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    I'm surprised he didn't let Vunipola away with that one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,281 ✭✭✭crisco10

    He went straight on top of him.

    Peypers response to Williams was that he got the penalty anyway?!? Strange logic.

    Ross Kemp shown on the big screen for some reason there.

    Jamie George got bent in half the wrong way in that scrum. Absolutely smashed.

    Yeah seemed like ruck finished, player on the ground should have been penalised for playing the ball no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭troyzer


    What even is offside anymore?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 589 ✭✭✭baas baa


    Where Lawes came in competing illegally there I don't know why the Wales players went to the effort of clearing him out, it's clear he's illegal and if you leave him alone he'll concede a penalty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,675 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Great fitness from May there, did it all with massive energy

    Hadley Parkes runs in slow motion.

    Are they offside or is that by not committing to the ruck they move the offside line up quite a bit? BBC seem to go close up for every ruck so I'm having difficulty seeing.

    When does he not?? Consistently the worst ref in the world!

    Still they didn't beat them. They just never believe it and then they will play Ireland and have the performance of their lives.

    That would require having confidence that he'll actually be penalised for it.
