@No-Quarter It's pedantic. I have no other word for it.
I think they got into a position where because they were checking for foul play it had to be either a card or play on, and because they found what was probably a penalty (coming in from the side) they didn't want to award the try so gave the card, screwing the ABXV. I just really dislike the way they go way back to "check something" when a try is scored. Either the ref blows his whistle at the time of the act, or he calls play on. TMO should ONLY be for checking groundings etc.

TBF the ref did call it when it happened but didn’t want to stop play in case there was nothing to see. Sometimes you can’t win either way.
Thought YC was harsh though. Irish are playing like football prima donnas though when they get “hurt” to draw attention and make this look worse. -
Have to say that Jacobson hasn't had a good game thus far. Not sure you can blame that on him not being an openside.
@Stargazer AB backrow has been very busy from my standpoint. Hope they keep it up in the second half.
Need to keep their discipline though (Jacobson especially obviously).

Ironic that the ref has warned the AB XV for some high tackles but Ireland A tackle around the neck to try to hold a player up all the time.

@Steven-Harris His defensive is way better this year too.

Yes, him and Love have been very impressive.

@Steven-Harris That would be instead of Harbour team mate Telea.

I can't find any stats for this game, but MMT has been a tackle monster.
Yes he seems to be the channel defender and doing it well.

Hopefully Roigard gets a run soon.

How many scrums have there been..?

DMac never had a chance with those shitty dead ball lines.
