    We're up & running in Cardiff. I expect this to be a great contest.

    Wonder if england will get a red card in this match now too keep the welsh streak going


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Great seeing Itoje get penalised but the English offline is continuously offside, every single time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,116 ✭✭✭almostover


    Itoje with 2 penalties already. How he avoids yellow cards is beyond me. Great player but a penalty machine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,628 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    Wales 3 England 0

    really thought England had been poor so far and wales well I guess they are hoping for a red card.
    england gifted wales 3 points there

    That was a close call from LW.

    Itoje some athlete all the same.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 190 ✭✭Quantum Baloney


    bit more physical than the last game!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,442 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Was going to ask why Eddie Jones was singing GSTQ but remembered Australia is a commonwealth country

    Its scary to think George North is only 28. Have a feeling this could be a draw

    3 penalties after 13 minutes, if it was a drinking game you'd be p*ssed by HT

    Three pens against Itoje already, surely should get a warning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,564 ✭✭✭RugbyLover123


    Surely there should be a law brought in about 1 players committing a certain amount of penalties regardless of what they are is a yellow? 3 against Itoje now inside 14 mins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,628 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    Josh adams is on the board for Wales.

    Great heads up stuff - regardless of the questionable refereeing decision


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,704 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Forget Farrell. If that happened against Ireland we'd be tearing down the wallpaper.

    Not a sporting situation I would say.




  • Not sure about that tbh.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 28,074 Mod ✭✭✭✭Podge_irl


    That is poor form from the ref.

    I' m not a massive Farrell fan, but he had a point there...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,454 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    Not sure about that tbh.

    The penalty itself was very very soft.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,694 ✭✭✭✭Clegg


    Itoje is playing similar to 2018 where England had their mini meltdown. He plays on the bleeding edge of legality and if he's the slightest bit off his game he concedes truck loads of penalties.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 119 ✭✭Shelby Foote


    Wales having a lucky campaign so far


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,564 ✭✭✭RugbyLover123


    England or not that is very poor from the ref


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,006 ✭✭✭KH25


    That’s baffling from the ref.

    We did something like that against South Africa once iirc.

    It was, but how is it that these decisions always, always, always, always seem to go in Wales' direction down the years?

    It's clearly not some magical bias and likely is just smarts and knowing how to play the ref, but going in to any game you're almost guaranteed to see Wales benefit from refereeing calls far more than their opposition.

    Terrible from the referee. Fair enough he says time on, but he has to allow England time to reset.

    Absolute nonsesne

    Ah jaysus. Just remembered the throw in that wasn't a throw in.

    Whatever about resetting, he told Farrell to talk to his team, they were in a huddle doing just that with water carriers all over the pitch. It was utterly ridiculous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy


    Farrell's face! That is hilarious :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,043 ✭✭✭Carfacemandog


    England or not that is very poor from the ref

    Also very poor that he kept on with "please please please please... let me talk first" and then just walked off the moment he was done speaking. Might have been a language issue, but would have definitely left an even more bitter taste if I were Farrell.

    A younger Farrell wouldn't kick the long peno after. Impressive mental composure

    Yeah fair enough, you'll always try it, but whether it stands in the particular circumstances should be the subject of a refereeing call that considers all factors. Wales had staff all over the pitch, for England to be disadvantaged in that case is poor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,628 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    I thought Josh adams try was good. But the way it was handled was not so great. It should have went ahead without the water carriers on the pitch. The ref was wrong to say that it should be counted once adams scored it. If any other team scored a try like that. Would it have been reversed?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,252 ✭✭✭OldRio


    Shocking referee, awful game to watch at the moment.
    How many penalties? How much kicking?

    You know the saying “imagine everyone in their underwear”

    England should imagine every team they play is Ireland, they seem to play like men possessed against us yet play like...this again lost the others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,116 ✭✭✭almostover


    4 penalties for itoje and still no YC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,600 ✭✭✭Paul Smeenus


    Is that a fourth penalty from Itoje?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,454 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    Ball was a ****ing mile out.

    The try was technically good, but it was terrible from the ref to allow play to restart in the first place.

    That went back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,375 ✭✭✭✭prawnsambo


    Interesting one this


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,043 ✭✭✭Carfacemandog


    On field decision try? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,252 ✭✭✭OldRio


    Is this a piss take?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,065 ✭✭✭TomsOnTheRoof


    This is hilarious stuff. Wales are gonna fluke their way to a grand slam.
