<p>England will be satisfied with their nights work. Highlight for mine was that tackle by Nowell.</p>
<p>It's back to the drawing board for Ireland I'm afraid. </p>
<p>Still too much stodge for me. Players in the NH seem intent on just running at the man instead of searching for space. Seem heavier too.</p>
<p>Too many stoppages in play as well.</p> -

Just an unawareness of what to do with space. How many times did England come close but just fuck it up by not making the extra pass! The captain leading the way... -
<p>Saw Steve in the crowd, getting a bit of pre-Ireland and Lions viewing in, good man.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>England with 60% possession and 72% territory in the first half...to lead 6-3 at the interval.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If Ireland had had a lineout that match could have been closer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>England will probably do the slam, I imagine.</p> -

<p>I've just finished explaining to a bunch of England fans that you can't go kicking the ball out of a players hands and that just because Murray is committing a ruck offence by holding onto the ball doesn't excuse Brown's actions.</p>

<p>I'd put that at 100% ineptitude. Half of which was England's and the other half Poite's.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If Ireland had any possession and a functioning lineout they may have stolen that,</p> -

<p>Depends whose team you're on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It may be illegal to run into a tackler. Very confusing this game.</p> -

<p>especially when you need to lift your knees to do this running lark....I tried running without lifting my knees, it was more like a fast shuffle</p> -

Reckless is the word I would use should have been a red. So he can expect a sit down. Would love it if this saw the end of players kicking through rucks. Never been a fan of that the law says you can ruck the ball out not fly hack it out. To me that means foot in a backwards motion. -

Can you actually be cited for something the ref and TMO go over in fine detail and decide is not even a penalty?<br><br>
I understand citing for something that is missed during the game, but doing it for something that has already been analysed that thoroughly would feel like a big vote of no-confidence in the refereeing team on the day.<br><br>
FWIW I thought it was a yellow card offence.<br><br>

You can still be cited after getting a YC I thought, so I don't see why not.
-
Don't see why not, the citing commissioner is independent of the match day officials and may view it differently, as so many do<br><br>
Although each comp has its own rules so may vary slightly -
Hmm. The idea of a ref, TMO and citing commissioner all viewing the same footage and coming away with such differing views (2 thinking it's not worth a penalty, one thinking it's worth a red card) strikes me as a bit worrying, but I guess you're probably right.<br><br>
