[2019 Six Nations] Ireland vs England (02/02/2019)

[HenryChinaski]

******* hate this. Both teams committed a block of their own , obviously we get punished, and meanwhile best is asking for a yellow. Get ******

Pool noodles > whatever Ireland train with

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

So Irish player blocks English chaser, all fine. Itoje jumps and we get penalised.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

but then we get the "TMO is ruining the game" crowd saying that the extra 2 minutes it took to referee the game correctly and world rugby actually listens to them for some reason

Player was receiving treatment so the game wouldn’t be slowed down.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

HOW IS THAT NOT ACCIDENTAL OFFSIDE

I'm gonna have an aneurysm before tea time at this rate

Itoje miss the ball location by about a mile TBF

 

[Every Time Ref]

May has been blocked on every single kick chase, the only punishment being one penalty to Ireland

plus it's not like rugby games are in danger of going over 2 hours in watch time... i'll never understand the anti-tmo crowd

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Earls in touch
Clear Knock on

That bald touch judge is a joke

 

[HenryChinaski]

I swear earls was a mile in touch???

 

[Jockstap]

Ok 20 mins in, England heart and passion should peter out now......hopefully.

 

[bushytop]

Earls in touch

That bald touch judge is a joke

Agree with both

Yep.

Ireland score from this its entirely on Garces. Shocking first 25 from him.

 

[BluenoseKelv]

Well done to the ref for getting Ireland that try

 

[TRF_Olyy]

...Is that held up?

Looked like a hand under it on slowmo

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Ref is giving Ireland bloody everything! That was held up!

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Did Healy actually ground that? Looked like there was a hand underneath.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Brilliant

Garces asks the tmo but allows the conversion before getting a response so it doesn't matter either way

 

[Reiser99]

A lot of dubious decisions, especially coming from that touch judge and Garces. Unfortunately we can't change that, so England now have to adapt play smarter...

 

[big ginger 8]

Really good job keeping the heads and getting the lead.

Wait no sorry can’t talk about players, cheers Garces, we wouldn’t be here without you.
