6N 2025 Ireland vs France
-
We've been red carded for less.

Great occasion too. The crowd was awesome. The 6N is so lucky geographically, and you get huge travelling support.
And I thought Gardner had a blinder. Set his stall out early about keeping the game going. Communicated really clearly.
Great test

Don't disagree, but you do hope that officials learn and get better. In isolation that's a yellow, and that's what happened. Good call.
-
How good is it to see genuine pace in a winger? Bielle-Biarrey reminds me of Doug Howlett.
-
So many of the world's best players on show in that game, and for the most part they showed it. In a losing effort Dorris, Keenan and JGP were real good.
Their direct opposites were also brilliant. The little French winger with the long name is so fucking good at everything. Boudahent is a hell of an openside. -

which is why, IMO SA being involved would detract from the comp

How the fuck did Nash's card not be upgraded as a red card?
The sport hasnt had credibility for a long time.
Became noticeable in the 2017 Lions tour, with the 2023 RWC Final the cherry on top of a rancid shelf life expired cake.
Rassie has been doing all he can do for his team to redress the officiating balance via onfield chicanery and off field skullduggery via his Estehuizen tackle practise troll video and Lions tour video debrief.
He is holding officialdoms feet to the fire. Purists will say his conduct is ill-befitting of the game, but he will have the W's in his ledger......and thats all that matters when all is said and done.

Nah, I sort of knew it would stay yellow, just passive enough, tackled player led with his head too.
Invalided the tacklee out of the game.

Wow.
What a load of horse shit.
"Redress the... balance" sounds like typical victim behaviour from the worst of South African fans.

I remain convinced Barnes reffed the final as he did because in part subconsciously he didn't want to be subjected to a repeat of the vile abuse he received from South Africans previously.

Funny, I thought it was in New Zealand that you could find a urinal in the shape of Barns’ head. Either way, you blame the loss of your team on the last wc final on the ref. Convenient as the last 4 games against the boks have all been loses. Different refs..

Not victims at all. He is proactively firing a couple of missive's in officialdoms direction and arguably its paid off.
Every team is getting hatcheted, but Rassie is doing something about it. Or at least endeavouring to.

It's fucking atrocious, it's gone way too far imo, even managed to trick every train station in the UK to install them in the gents. Unbelievable.
Or just a bizarre call.
-
surprised more hasn't been made of the Dupont situation on here, Berne was never legal in that breakdown, IMO that's a red card. First angle I saw (on twitter after the game) I thought it was deliberate but from the main camera he's clearly bumped from behind and falling, still think that supermaning in with no arms off feet and causing that kind of injury should be a red and am surprised he wasn't cited.

It would be 7-a-side inside the first quarter.
But agree wholeheartedly.
Commented on it in the England v Italy thread.
Biggest blight on the game.

Illegal for sure, no wrap and leading with the shoulder. On that alone it would warrant a yellow IMO. The damage to Dupont was clearly accidental but the question is, would that have happened if the entry into the ruck had been legal - ie would the act of wrapping have resulted in a different outcome? That’s a difficult one to rule on.
