[June Tests 2018: 2nd Test] Australia vs. Ireland (16/06/2018)

[Leonormous Boozer]

Is every deliberate knock on a yellow though, regardless of context? Not in my eyes

When it's not out of a tackle yes.

 

[All Black]

Im gettin ****** off these penalties

 

[TommiG88]

The referee literally said "deliberate" out loud there, that's a textbook yellow card.

Please tell me more about how this referee is doing a good job.

Winning the game, had a shed load of penalties for you, but the ref has been poor.

He's had a really good game, and had no bearing on the game.

You're lucky that you don't have to deal with Lacey at an international level.

 

[Every Time Ref]

When it's not out of a tackle yes.

Officially?

I've noticed a trend in that direction recently, but is it a WR directive?

I disagree with it either way. It's ridiculously reductive.

I think so yeah. I don't necessarily agree because some are more reactive than deliberate.

 

[big ginger 8]

Sly Jacko.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

We're going to get a yellow. ******* joke.

 

[Every Time Ref]

I think so yeah. I don't necessarily agree because some are more reactive than deliberate.

Also, even if deliberate you should take context into account. Every other offence apart from dangerous play does

 

[Gavin]

Phipps has one of those faces that I dislike. He continually moans about everything.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

**** that Wallace, you had a good thing going, ruined it.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How ******* dumb do you have to be to do that

 

[TommiG88]

If Ireland manage to lose this, McGrath should be told to get the boat home.

 

[Hanley!]

That was dumb and cynical and deserving of a yellow card.

But we've asked the ref to check things in that position and he's refused, and despite repeated infringements, five minutes ago he didn't give Australia a yellow for a deliberate knock on.

Anyone who thinks this game has been reffed evenly is mental.

It was the assistant who told the ref to review it.

 

[big ginger 8]

Good win but we really should have been more clinical.

Next week I'd like to see Cronin, Beirne, Conan and one of Conney or Marmion to start next week with Ross Byrne on the bench because we might as well use everybody.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Good win, I'd have been ****** off with the cards had we lost.

Ringrose made a huge difference as did Leavy for his 30 minutes.

 

[Jockstap]

Should have been nowhere near this close. Ref should have at least 2 more yellows for Aussies. All the small decisions went their way and he kept them in the game.

 

[Hanley!]

I wanted Kilcoyne to get a spot on the bench next week anyway, but McGrath has made that call easy for Schmidt.

If we see McGrath and Healy again next week I'll be annoyed.

 

[TommiG88]

Ireland deserved the win. Should have won with more ease, but weren't clinical enough.

I personally thought the ref had a decent game. Maybe another yellow for Aus, but apart from that there was no glaringly bad decisions or inconsistency.

POM man of the match.

 

[Which Tyler]

Well done Ireland; regained the Raeburn Shield there,now to keep hold of it for a few months
