I don't understand that at all. The ball was passed behind the dummy runner and taken outside his right shoulder. Ireland are the absolute masters of that.

Euros.

I really hate the inconsistency in refereeing in rugby. Takes so much away from the game.

You don't get to take out defenders and that was pretty blatant. I just wish refs saw Ireland do this all the time.

It’s amazing how often the ‘inconsistencies’ in international Rugby favour the wealthy nations who the sponsors want to win.

I dont rate Moefana in midfield.

Half time. France 13 Uruguay 5.

[pooler fan]

Uruguay have been fantastic to be honest, some blatant infringing but you can't blame them for pushing the boundaries a little.
Shame that try for the 10 was overturned.

[Bovidae]

I like how Uruguay attack the breakdown. You can see their sevens influence.

The obstruction was obvious in realtime. Their centre would have been OK if he ran that line but stopped instead of initiating the contact.

[game_film]

Bet he gets cited.

[antipodean]

Am I the only person who thinks France are miles offside at rucks?

[Jailbreak7]

@antipodean They are. Constantly. Just flopping over the ball at rucks too.

[sparky]

French try given but looked like a knock on to me.

Ireland "dummy runners" have been a bug bear of mine for the last 6 or 7 years.

[sparky]

Try ruled out. Lille crowd don’t like it.

[The Irishman]

Entertaining match. Got to admire the heart of the Uruguayans.

[kiwiinmelb]

Be interesting if Uruguay can get the next try somehow

[antipodean]

France are making inexplicably hard work of this.

Yellow card remains yellow card.

So Tom Curry gets a red in the 3rd minute followed by a further 3 game ban for what could be argued was an accident and the French lock gets 10 minutes only for that.........make it make sense.

The game is a fucking joke.

Either the head is sacrosanct or it is not.

[Jailbreak7]

Miles Harrison doesn't half talk some dribble on itv

Uruguay!!!!!!
