Who does the TSF want to Win? Aus vs Ireland

To be serious. The gif I took the stills from has a big gap between the frames.

The seems to be some green folk crawling out of the woodwork on the board today.
Really? Like who?
I'm nearly half Irish on mum's side. Definitely balances out the Scots side and isn't much help in terms of getting a golden tan.
Also I fucken hate BOD as mentioned above but he's retired now ( without a win against the ABs )
Fuck it, move over plenty of room for me on the bandwagon.
C'mon IRELAND!

I think you're in good company there.
Hate to say it but one of my fondest rugby memories is that of BOD's face at the end of the 2013 AB-Ireland test in November 2013.

Should have been a Red Card

Yep. He could have died.

It would be good to get a better video to get the stills from, as in the first still POM looks like he is going to be in a terrible position to catch that. It's already going over his head and he's stretching backwards.
Still think Folau will go down for this though.

You should have seen O'Driscoll's face...
I actually felt for the rest of the Irish team that day. They were bloody magnificent in Chicago - thoroughly deserved that win and sense it made up for the last minute loss in '13

In each incident Folau pulls down on PO'M.
Thinking of possible 'mitigation' after the precendent set last week that his lawyers could argue. Teammate Stander has a bigger bearing on PO'M's legs getting taken out from under him than teammate ALB did on Fall. But ..... twice he has tugged or pulled downwards on a guy in the air.
On a brighter note, how fucking good is Folau's leap? He can jump as high as a guy being lifted.
If a law-tweak outcome of this is no lifting in rugby, anymore, get Folau into the lineout!

I’m sure it did. ‘13 gutted them.

It looks bad with that arm, but I'm not sure where else he was supposed to put it. Plus just looking at that, the arm doesn't appear to be the reason that he fell that way. Certainly it was the contest, but that looked fair to me.
My biggest issue is that he appears to take out the lifter.
-
Some better stills using a desktop.
(apologies for the big funk-off play symbol in the middle ......)
-
It doesn't look good, and he might cop a ban.
I still think the lifter makes the end result far worse, as he acts as a fulcrum for POM. If that's a regulation contest without a lifter, I don't think it ends with POM on his head.
As it was, Stander stabilises POM which exacerbates the impact of the minor contact he receives, and then instead of merely being pushed back he flips over completely.
It can't be treated the same way as a regular 1v1 contest for the ball. You can certainly penalise Folau for the contact, but I'm not sure you can ban him for how it ended up.

I was surprised Henshaw didn't get a yellow for is head high tackle on Folau. At the 1:43:31 mark.
@akan004 it's cos the Oirish have the officials in their pockets!

Fuck, it's rubbing off. We're turning into Oprah
You get a yellow! and you get a Yellow! and you get a Yellow! Everyone gets a Yellow!!!

I wasn’t. Anyway NZ Head high tackles are much worsest than that. They decapitate people and make their heads roll around for a while.
