    That's twice now I've seen you make the same pathetic Covid joke. Enough of the trolling.

    Pathetic??? They stood 2m apart to sing them anthems and now they playing a rugby game. In front of an empty sradium!!! You can't go 5km from your home or fly on a plane? This is totally insane. If this ludicrous spectacle doesn't wake people up what will?

    We're not doing too badly considering we're down to 14. Unfortunately we have to be ultra precise for the next 45 minutes.

    And thats not going to happen

    Great work by Henshaw, VDF and Beirne for the try

    Super clean out by Healy, fair play.

    Red cards ruin rugby matches.


    Just like bundee in the WC I think POMs is incredibly harsh.

    It’s what the rules say, that’s a red card according to the rules but I think there is mitigation in both incidents.


    I'm a big POM fan but that was a red. Stupid, especially as he'd been one of our brightest performers in that opening 15.



    I'm sure people will be lining up to stick the boot in, and that's to be expected, but I wouldn't think it's the end of his career as some are gleefully predicting.


    And now a try, YUSS!

    Beirne is having an incredible game. Pack have been very good, it must be said. You'd be hard pushed to figure out who is down a man.

    It's not harsh but it is unlucky. He was committed to the hit and the Welsh player came down facing towards him instead of away from him. If POM hits his back then we don't hear any more about it. Definite red as it played out though.



    I agree its a red. That’s exactly what the rules says


    I just think that when the refs look for mitigation it exists in the split second changes that are not seen on slow motion and the terrible body position of the defending player isn’t taken into account.

    Funny everyone slagging off VDF and now this happens.

    Two quality carries there and the discipline to hold back from the white line fever.
