6N Ireland v England

@Steve said in 6N Ireland v England:
Lowe knocked it on and Steward is trying to abandon smashing him.
He could have carried on with the tackle he was going to make, but by the looks of things that might still have ended up high.
He didn't have to brace himself by throwing his shoulder/elbow out.
Needs to work on technique and not get given excuses to flatten another player's face.

The game is an absolute joke. World rugby need to sort this out.
Bouncing ball. braced himself . turned away.
Im fucking sick of the sport at this stage.
World rugby didn't make Steward run into a guy's head, leading with his shoulder and elbow, don't be absurd.
give over. watch it at full speed.
Oh yeah I'll turn off my slow mo vision, thanks. At full speed, Steward ran into the Irish player while standing upright and led with the elbow. Same in slow mo.
he's pulling out of it . he's not running into him to smash him in the face.
you're speaking about it in a matter of fact way, which gives no colour to what actually happened.
May not like it any more than you, but the point is players at this level know that sort of stuff will almost always bring a card if head contact takes place.

Maybe you haven’t played rugby in which case I give you a pass.
I played for the Eastbourne under 9s.

But what is he supposed to do? His elbow is by his side. His arm is not extended.

Make a fucken legal tackle! Take the impact! Dive! Anything but the most reckless possible action.

I would say the same back, I mean the contact was square on the elbow.

Do the least dangerous thing which is least likely to mean a card.

@Victor-Meldrew yeah I mean what was his intention before the ball went to ground? Pretty sure it wasn't what he ended up doing, so a bizarre decision.

Best England performance upfront for some time. Willis having a sensational game
