Lovely grubber from Jones

realhorrorshow · 22-03-2021 09:31PM

No conversation to be had, that's a red.

its_phil · 22-03-2021 09:32PM

Think this is red but it would be so harsh

Jump_In_Jack · 22-03-2021 09:33PM

Same as red for Ulster

sioda · 22-03-2021 09:33PM

Elbow to chin with force that's a red
Edit or not hmm

Why would it be harsh? There's no good reason to lead with the forearm like that, players need to cop on.

pappyodaniel · 22-03-2021 09:33PM

No consistency to this.

realhorrorshow · 22-03-2021 09:34PM

I give up, the absolute state of refereeing at the moment.

testtech05 · 22-03-2021 09:35PM

I think if your gonna be consistent with these calls that had to be red. Don't think I agree with tmo saying it was chest first either definitely looked like chin/throat to me

sioda · 22-03-2021 09:35PM

Great try fantastic support lines

Euphoriasean · 22-03-2021 09:35PM

He was getting a red before the TMO intervened which very rarely happens,they are usually yes men.

Either way great try there and a huge turning point.

Jump_In_Jack · 22-03-2021 09:36PM

That’s sensational from Porch!!

MayoForSam · 22-03-2021 09:36PM

Brilliant try, some of these lads can play.

yerrahbah · 22-03-2021 09:36PM

TMO has had a mare there

He gets the ball last minute and the space is closed down so quickly his elbow leads instead of his hand.. If Porch had been 1m later, it would have been fine as arm becomes fully extended.

No malice but should have been a red.

franglan · 22-03-2021 09:37PM

Great response but how that's not a red I give up. You can see the impact on Johnny's chin. Outrageous decision

CMcsporty · 22-03-2021 09:38PM

Porch has the sticky hands. Great offload.
Poor Ben O'Donnell has yet to acclimatise.

Buer · 22-03-2021 09:39PM

That was 100% a red card under the current directives. The TMO absolutely talked the referee out of it by fabricating a story and claiming it was to the chest. The collision was on the chin from the very first contact. The referee saw that, stated as such and the TMO butted in and contradicted it with a fictional statement.

22-03-2021 09:40PM

They're just steam rolling us when they run the ball, making 5 or 10 yards a carry.

Jump_In_Jack · 22-03-2021 09:41PM

12 did very well do pick that up off the bounce

pappyodaniel · 22-03-2021 09:45PM

That's bad refereeing again.. He discounted Ben O'Donnell out wide which the pass was meant for.

BrokenMan · 22-03-2021 09:45PM

And thats as clear a yellow as you'll see

MayoForSam · 22-03-2021 09:46PM

To be fair we're steamrolling them too.

Strange that he could call a deliberate knock on and not give a yellow. Consider that to bundee who got a yellow in munsters half.

sioda · 22-03-2021 09:47PM

Bonus before half time how bad. Should have been another yellow though.

MayoForSam · 22-03-2021 09:48PM

Should have been 5.

As a Munster fans that yellow was a joke genuine attempt made for the ball

Another try Connacht are on fire

its_phil · 22-03-2021 09:50PM

This is so bad from Scarlets. It’s like a run through at a captains run but at least there’s grab tackling in that. This is touch.

MayoForSam · 22-03-2021 09:50PM

That is No. 5. Great break by the Roscommon man.

yerrahbah · 22-03-2021 09:51PM

Well this is great fun
