The fucking TMO is so desperate to card him and he has convinced the ref to do so. BS call.

That has been a consistent feature this season - the TMO is directing passive referees, not merely assisting

[sparky]

Fuck it: home-town offficating to appease the crowd, a bullshit yellow card and a try by plastic Paddy to boot.

Where's Akira?

[broughie]

We are not learning We are not earning the right to go wide. Our forwards are not doing what they should do.

[Jailbreak7]

Are we just lazy, or are points in the bank more important at this stage?
I would have gone for the corner

Good try. All Blacks constantly offside defending in the red zone.

Yeah but exactly the same offside that denied us down the other end and wasn't called...

[MajorPom]

6 phases all tackling around the shoulders.

Unquestionable that be another yellow in there on the benchmark set.

Uses up time for the YC.

[Derm McCrum]

[ACT Crusader]

[Yeetyaah]

Yep, Ireland have been OK but not dominant at all. We just need to spend a bit more time trucking it up the middle to suck some defenders in.

We have done ok up front. TJP’s passing is exposing some of ball carriers ribs.

[Derm McCrum]

Sexton getting told off.

[Billy Tell]

Dane Cole’s. He is a mouthy c**t isn’t he?

LOL

... with unhurried accurate passes!, ball protection, short pass to the next man and do the same again for half a dozen phases.

[Chris]

Not good tackling technique BB to high.
