The yellow bunker review is a real cop out. That was as red as you’ll see on POM. Reckless, intentional and dangerous.
True Italy have been better than Wales. Who we now cheer on🙈
That should have just been a straight red at the end to be honest.
Anyway, somehow a fitting end to a mess of a game.
Embarrassing how close that was. Italy effed up so badly, it almost looked like match fixing. And yet, we couldn't pull away.
France put 73 on these clowns.
You play the whistle. If the Italians stopped, tough.
Hansen looked much better in attack, about the only positive.
The rest was utter garbage.
Does he ever shut his clueless mouth, he loves the sound of his own voice. I’d say he spends a lot of time standing in front of a mirror telling himself how gorgeous he is. Every game is all about him.
Terrible performance. We went backwards. Italy deserved to win it really. So poor. We need new coaches and players.
Italy gifted us that, we've Lamaro and Vincent to thank for that. The silver lining may be that a few Irish guys won't go on a pointless Lions tour now.
Relief to get the win there. Good call to kick it off the pitch. One intercept away from losing the game.
Lamaro our best player today. (nice one Sheehan - 3 tries)
4 tries while Jack on the pitch…. 3 missed conversions.
Prendergast offers nothing going forward, so wasn't expecting any more tires.
looking forward to the next few games, I have friends in both stadiums.
Ireland narrow win with try bonus. Deserves losing bonus point for Italy. Pearce bottled two straight red cards.
Too close for comfort.
Jesus my nerves.
Absolute terrible gutless performance.
Definite regression in this team. Freshen it up, build a new one. A terrible game.
Surely that's just a straight red?
Straight red that one.
After that POM mightn't remember his last game.
How the hell after having an extra man for 30 minutes against an Italian team who have conceded 18 tries in the last two games are this Irish team literally hanging on for dear life…
Absolutely awful stuff.
I mean, they do this too.
The reffing in this game has been fine. The Lowe incident was just unfortunate based on what was called on the field.
That is nasty, another card incoming
A review of the reviewer???
Italy have had 14 men for 20 plus minutes of this match and we are barely beating them
Little touch from Aki saved it
We are dogshit
He can't. Italian player stopped as the AR flag went up
I thought I heard him say "we checked it"
Joe McCarthy muscled off the breaking ball there. I just can't cope with him and the fact that he got a 3 year CC.
I'm talking about a general review. Obviously.
Nope. Only the ref can give a full red card. As long as this trial is in place anyway.
