Who does the TSF want to Win? Aus vs Ireland
-
In each incident Folau pulls down on PO'M.
Thinking of possible 'mitigation' after the precendent set last week that his lawyers could argue. Teammate Stander has a bigger bearing on PO'M's legs getting taken out from under him than teammate ALB did on Fall. But ..... twice he has tugged or pulled downwards on a guy in the air.
On a brighter note, how fucking good is Folau's leap? He can jump as high as a guy being lifted.
If a law-tweak outcome of this is no lifting in rugby, anymore, get Folau into the lineout!

Also I fucken hate BOD as mentioned above but he's retired now ( without a win against the ABs )
I think you're in good company there.
Hate to say it but one of my fondest rugby memories is that of BOD's face at the end of the 2013 AB-Ireland test in November 2013.
That’s just sad.
You should have seen O'Driscoll's face...
I actually felt for the rest of the Irish team that day. They were bloody magnificent in Chicago - thoroughly deserved that win and sense it made up for the last minute loss in '13
I’m sure it did. ‘13 gutted them.

It looks bad with that arm, but I'm not sure where else he was supposed to put it. Plus just looking at that, the arm doesn't appear to be the reason that he fell that way. Certainly it was the contest, but that looked fair to me.
My biggest issue is that he appears to take out the lifter.
-
It doesn't look good, and he might cop a ban.
I still think the lifter makes the end result far worse, as he acts as a fulcrum for POM. If that's a regulation contest without a lifter, I don't think it ends with POM on his head.
As it was, Stander stabilises POM which exacerbates the impact of the minor contact he receives, and then instead of merely being pushed back he flips over completely.
It can't be treated the same way as a regular 1v1 contest for the ball. You can certainly penalise Folau for the contact, but I'm not sure you can ban him for how it ended up.

I was surprised Henshaw didn't get a yellow for is head high tackle on Folau. At the 1:43:31 mark.
I wasn’t. Anyway NZ Head high tackles are much worsest than that. They decapitate people and make their heads roll around for a while.

@derm-mccrum if you gonna do a job, do it properly!!

The Rorschach blot reminds me of a day out at the beach when it’s raining and there’s no one around except for an old bearded man in a black robe walking with a white unicorn on a pink leash. There’s a carrot in its mouth but it’s not eaten.
How did I do? What do you think it means?

Sounds like the unicorn got decapitated.

Hot damn! So the carrot escaped uneaten then.

WTF is with the music?
You'd get it if you were a "working class man"
The ground announcers picked up the music in the second half to drown out the Irish supporters. It was like a day at Lansdowne Road

Imagine having to car pool with these two

No it doesn’t. Would look worst if the stills had arrows and accompanied by some creepy monotone voice calling him a cheat 😎

Jesus, to me Folau's contact with the left hand is incidental - he's already tipping over due to the initial contact and the single-lift. Incredibly harsh yellow.
