[2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

[Leinster Fan]

That was stunningly stupid from Farrell.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Wtf that's a red card for stander

You can't punch someone three times even if you're being held

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No

 

[Rinkadink]

I've thought that about five or six games in the last year, two of which were against you.

This is just our level now.

I haven't rated this 9/10 combo for a while, particularly Sexton which I know is a heathen thing to say for some but there it is. But then again I like POM a lot so I'm probably mad.

Fazlet complaining about that is embarrassing.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Guess you're allowed to hit people then?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Farrell doing the classic I want that toy tatrum grab on his moms legs.

Murray definitely is the worse of the two, his form is like this at Pro14, Sexton just gets like this when the intensity gets too much.

Only other option is Carbery rn though and he's injured.

Murray and Sexton are both past their best., can't disagree with you much as I'd like to.

Sexton genuinely has been very good for Leinster though, Murray is just terrible full time.

 

[Scotty]

Stupid by farrell to hold on but must be close yo reversal due to stander punching faz. Faz was not in the right obv but not clear

 

[AlRums]

Farrell taking lessons from Biggar in whinging

 

[TRF_Olyy]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No

They must have changed the laws to allow punching then?
I missed that announcement

 

[die_mole]

It's sung at Twickenham because a group of school kids sang it at an alumnus who was playing. Is there an objection other than it's 19th century origin I'm not aware of?

the origin story is that a group of school kids were singing it when Chris Oti, who I don't believe went to their school, scored three tries at twickenham. Chris oti was the first black English player since 1908.

 

[Jimbo]

Terrible sealing off there, wouldn't be surprised if stander has a hearing, can't do that regardless of Faz being a ****.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Why wasn't Farell yellow carded for that? That was not only cynical but he also disregarded the ref twice.
Inexplicable.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Garces is really only reffing England at the breakdown so far though

Which is expected of French refs and Irish teams TBH

You can't be serious? Inside of the hand and to the body in reaction to that carry on. Peyper was dead right.

 

[Leinster Fan]

God if we make a sub or two this might not actually be over.

Fully expect England to get back on top comfortably though.

 

[big ginger 8]

Much better intent there. POM actually the most aggressive forward carrier in the build up.

 

[Scotty]

It kind of is though.

I got told...may be wrong...first chanted for England when a black player entering the field in an england shirt (again what i was told...no fact to back it up)

Absolutely it's pretty difficult to how a team out when they are allowed to seal off and punch players.
