    That's inconsistent with how laws are applied for
    other dangerouss play... Tip tackle landing on head doesn't need to cause damage to be penalised as what it is: dangerous play. Same thing here imo.

    An inconsistent rugby law application. I'm shocked I tells ya!

    At best the refs supervisors will consider it during the week and might issue a missive, but I doubt it.

    Farrell didn't tackle him, he pushed him. Fair decision imo.

    Farrell was committed, nothing in it.

    He seemed to only care about whether there was contact with the head rather than it being late with no arms.

    I think that's just about OK...borderline, but I'd go with the officials on that one.

    We need Liam Toland in the commentary box to tell us Joy Neville is pregnant....

    That was weird.

    They were so focused on the height of the tackle that they seem to have ignored that it was still a late hit.

    Maybe you should.

    That was just the italian begging a penalty cos his teams defence were mugged. Waste of everyone's time reviewing that.

    Absolute bottle job by the ref/TMO. As per usual with farrell and England. Would make you sick

    Three out of four tries built on fouls?

    Ah hear, there's not a lot in it, but he was absolutely in a position to pull out of that. He throws his weight into it well after the ball is gone. No try and a penalty to Italy imo.

    Think he said Ireland have a Late change with Gibson Park dropping out and Braxton Hicks going in

    England are a very ordinary team at the moment.

    That's it. He took a player out off the ball regardless of whether it was dangerous or not. That's foul play. The Italian made a meal of it but if he didn't, it would have been picked up.

    I'm lost by the decision.

    It wasn't a "hit" though. It was a push.

    England have given up at least 2 scrum pens so far? Pretty poor from them.

    Nothing card worthy but agree late and a penalty.
    Edit Even if juat a push, it is off the ball.

    When does a push become a hit? He made unnecessary contact from behind.
