I'm still spitting about the 'taking the player past the ruck' calls. there's some made up shit in there
Like the one the Irish did before their second try? No consistency from Peyper.
Who is the ref next week? Methinks there'll be some interesting chats from both sets of coaches with him next week when they ask for "clarifications".

@MiketheSnow Yellow card and red card while calling for uncontested scrums means New Zealand should've played with 12.

Can someone please decipher that?
Nope. Rugby...how to make a simple game more complicated. This will bring the new viewers in in droves!

@Bovidae Pointed out to the ref by the Irish after the first test. Irish media all over it all week. Smart!
Yep. The Irish coaches and media worked in unison all week. Clever.
Can NZ do the same this week?

That would make him a A grade fluffybunny.
I hope he said it.
You know he did. Got to give him credit...he walked the walk today, not just the talk. He's a prick, but he's Ireland's prick 😁

Didn’t the scrums go uncontested when Ross came on and Ardie went off?
Again, I am referring to 2nd half after the cards. Ofa was a penalty magnet who was struggling to be onside but they kept him on and subbed Bower.

I probably could if it had bright yellow arrows and a hand drawn offside line, plus a monotone voice over of someone that has a clear hatred of the ABs

He could have said he was better than Daniel Braid and Sam Harding if he’d been quick witted enough

Irish (?) Prop after the AB scrum had been shunted back 5m: "How's that for scrumming you dirty fluffybunny"
Colin Meads: "Fucking impressive, but when you pull your head out of your arse, you'll see we just scored.
(Need some humour after that game)

@stodders Barnes is the ref for the 3rd test.
All set up for his redemption? 🤣
He's actually bloody good.

@MiketheSnow First event (green): Ofa's yellow card. Second event (orange): Angus' red card. Both TH props. Thought they needed uncontested scrums because they forgot Bower could have been moved to TH. Because they went for uncontested scrums, they needed to lose another player (they chose Ardie). So off were Ofa, Angus and Ardie = 12 players.

Wouldn’t that still result in uncontested scrums because both 3s were off?
Sorry my head is spinning trying to work out what the rules are and what actually happened in the game. Am I completely imagining the scrum going uncontested for a short period before ofa came back on? -

So only works if Bower was dedicated a th replacement? Or am I talking out of my arse.

That, at least, used to be the way it worked.
If you have two players off, and they’ll force you to lose another, there is something wrong with the laws.
