Game ruined

Here we go.
Another ****ing red card ruins the game.
Completely accidental.
What a joke!

I didn't see it that way. No attempt to tackle

He stood still, waiting for impact.
How can that be a red card?
These new protection rules are ruining the game.

Yea it was deffo clumsy but the carrier has a responsibility too and I thought Keenan was coming upright at the moment of impact. A deffo yellow for me

I agree shame it's red, but deffo yellow. He was upright and had his shoulder in the attacker's face

If Ireland go on to win this it will be tarnished. Not a classic by all means but entertaining

 

[Hammersmith bookie]

Surely you’re proud of your teams efforts today!!!
Ireland obviously nervous but England have showed up today as they were always going to after last week.
The effort and tackling is top class. The penalties are coming from intense Irish pressure

I don't rate him at all, and he's braindead aswell. I can't believe we replaced Vunipola with him !

 

[Goldhawk-Road]

Sinckler's a liability with the penalties he gives away. England make a rod for their own back with stupid stuff.

Shame because their effort cannot be faulted

 

[Hammersmith bookie]

Never a red card, ****ing utterly ridiculous decision. The TMO watched it 3 times all in slow motion, clueless. He has the right to defend himself with a losse ball like that. Pathetic, if that's the way rugby is heading. There will be so many games ruined by such decisions if that's the way things are gonna go !

 

[Goldhawk-Road]

Dombrandt is utterly ****, surely there a better number 8 and this thick, lumbering twat ?

Agree. He has the brains of a sheep.

 

[QPRNUTS]

The lack of discipline is certainly hamstringing you every game. Really needs to be addressed once and for all.

 

[rangercol]

Unsurprisingly, the two Irish men on the ITV panel thought it was the right decision and the two English men thought it was a yellow.
Game ruined anyway by an accidental, no harm collision.

As inevitable as it is that Ireland will pull away as the 14 men of England tire, this is a magnificent effort from England.

Agreed.
Sport is never straightforward. Huge effort from England so far. A building block for things to come

Yes, agree. It's more like our A team and the England of 3 or 4 or so years ago

 

[QPRNUTS]

Tickets impossible to get.
Watching it at home as pub scene too loud. Going out after it.
I reckon the first 20 will be brutal. Hope we can take the physical punishment that England will undoubtedly hand out. After that, I think we’ll grind it out. This won’t be anything other than a bruising tight encounter. Personally a 1pt win is all I want. Result today is important not necessarily the performance.

bump

 

[rangercol]

The inevitable happening now, but England can be immensely proud of this performance.

What an effort that is for the try.
Supermen!

 

[rangercol]

Fantastic ovation for Sexton.
What a player he's been.
Hope he's ok for the WC.

 

[rangercol]

That was just a penalty. Not a yellow.
**** me!

 

[rangercol]

May as well take another player off and let them play against 12!!!

Well done Ireland.
Deserved grand slam.
