6N - France v Ireland

Pumped for this. France to win by a single score.
-
Ireland with a lively start. Penalty right in front. 3-0 after 7 minutes.
-
Yellow card for Willemse and it's going to the bunker. That could easily be upgraded to a Red.
-
Game over after 8 minutes. Marseille crowd left silent.

Rugby sucks these days. Another yellow/red for an innocuous rugby incident.
There needs to be something in between a Red and a Yellow Card. Otherwise no one will watch this game in ten years time.
-
A whole 10 minutes to get the bunker and a card. Plus ça change…

@sparky there is. Red card, 20 mins without the player, then allow a new player to come on.
But not in the Six Nations, other northern Hemisphere Rugby or the World Cup.
-
@sparky I’m sure the wailing will get louder the more red cards there are. They either move to a higher threshold for red cards, or they allow replacements for the dismissed players.
Outright thuggery can be dealt with via a very long ban.
Rugby needs to be 15 vs 15.
-
It remains a Yellow Card. Good news but it makes me wonder why Sam Cane got a Red Card in the World Cup Final?
-
First game of rugby I watch since the RWC. Watch way more soccer these days. The idea that cards = less head contact is patently false.
-
Gibson-Park scores for Ireland. Aki set it up. A try made in New Zealand.
-
@Billy-Tell I've not watched any Rugby since the World Cup final either. Football's more fun these days.
