    I think that's fair. Another day that could've technically been given as a red according to the framework.

    This is the problem we have. Text book tackle position, but the attacker drops into it. Could be anything from a penalty to a red.

    One of these calls will probably have a major impact on a knockout match.

    The Samoan tackling was shocking. Well done Furlong!

    Its abolutely the right call and mitigating circumstances of ducking into the tackle.

    But its the consistency of applying it that annoys me. Farrell ducked into the Lavanini tackle and it was a red....

    Rugby is dead
    That wasn't even a penalty
    It's like diving in soccer the way the ball carrier is falling into the tackle
    Yup, yeah, sure.

    Did anyone else see Murray getting absolutely smashed in the face a few phases before that penalty?

    Nobody even mentioned it

    Direct rugby. Now get the job done Ireland and then empty the bench

    I dunno. Letter of the law and all that crap, but seriously, this stuff is killing the game. That was a waist high tackle.

    Will we get to the point where players deliberately drop into tackles?

    It happens in other sports, aussie rules for example, although the force of tackles is significantly lower.

    Great Start as usual, hope they don't struggle to get the next try as they have in the past 2 games

    How can Ireland avoid New Zealand?

    Scotland would have to beat Japan with Japan getting no losing bonus. As that game looks unlikely to proceed, we essentially cannot avoid them.

    By the way, I'm a bit furious that the final decision on Scotland v Japan is only being taken AFTER Ireland have played. Utter lack of sporting integrity by the organisers

    This is like a zero pressure environment I think they’ll storm this.
    Couldn’t miss those goalposts against that nothing backdrop either

    Van der Flier very light at this level. Although plenty of other attributes.

    By finishing top of the group as the winners of the groups play the runners up of another group in the knockout stages.

    It's a shame that drag back from Henderson didn't go to hand. We had men out wide for Sexton to find if he'd gotten clean ball.

    That was a shocker of a kick, just trying to force things a bit much.
