Scotland have their excuse now

Ben Bailey

How do players think that is not going to be picked up on ?.

Moronic.

fitz

I think Scotland were about to get a reality check anyway, but I reckon this is going to turn into a proper spanking now.

Ragwort and Stones

I suppose Scotland having the stuffing knocked out of them and Gilchrist gone is better from our point of view.

awec

This could be red for France.

fitz

Drama. That'll be red.

Wow. What an idiotic thing to do.

Eoinbmw

Not pretty

Great to see the medic taking the lead. Something Ireland need to take more responsibility on.

Burkie1203

Another red card incoming

Ben Bailey

14 each

Clegg

Red for France too?

awec

100% a red card.

razorblunt

That's the same fella sent off again murrayfield a few years back.

Some clown

Burkie1203

The Italian assistant ref has this right.

Bonkers stuff.

Instead of players attending tackle school it should be coaches.

fitz

Well done to the assistants not just going along. That's a stone cold red, and the nonsense about "no high degree of danger" was nonsense.

Faugheen

Well done to the ARs there. The ref was saying he didn't see a high degree of danger and they spoke up in the interests of the safety of the players.

They're not trying to put in a sneaky hit and get away with it, they're trying to to make a big dominant hit but the margins are really fine. On the first kickoff they made a similar double tackle but a few inches lower.

As for Haouas, I have no idea what he was trying to do.

A-Train

2 stone wall red cards. I thought he was going to bottle the France red card

KH25

How in the name of god did the ref think that wasn’t red? Well done by the assistants. Blatant clear head contact and it somehow wasn’t clear to the ref?

Vital Transformation

Ref had to be talked into that.

All_in_Flynn

Really good refereeing all round there. Ref was initially unsure but took the advice from his assistants and got to the right decision. I can think of a few refs too big headed to take advice in that situation and would go with a yellow.

I think because they weren't moving at pace. But it's a red card.

He was absolutely about to, and if the ARs had done the same as Carley in the Ireland/France game and said nothing while clearly disagreeing, it would probably have been an incorrect yellow again.

Ragwort and Stones

Apart from the red cards, Scotland looking like a very ordinary mid 6 nations team. Being bullied.

Ben Bailey

Alldritt subbed for 3rd choice prop. French discipline poor again.

Paul Smeenus

Bloody hell.

Watson and Aldritt both off to cover for ridiculous tackles by team-mates. 14 v 14 for almost 70 minutes. Mental.

Brief_Lives

nobody expected this first 11 mins

Burkie1203

Scotland will win this

fitz

What's incredible is that the action for France red was so completely needless. So flabbergastingly stupid.

Ahem!
