6N England v Ireland

[Bones]

Not much mitigation though.

Oh geez

[Bones]

Hang on, isn't the mitigation that it's head on head? It wasn't a high shot.

[The Irishman]

Absolute shit show. Rules are destroying the game. Yellow all the way. Like the Italy game last week, it destroys the competitiveness.

[Billy Tell]

Yet another match ruined.

Should have tackled less upright though and I don’t think Ryan will be back either.

Pretty sure we can expect a "levelling" card before halftime. Curry just took a clean out to the head.

I would prefer 14 vs 14 TBH.

Reckon you won't have to wait long

[Bones]

Whaaaat....Irish player held up forever, maul breaks up and he gets one knee to the ground, ref calls tackle?

[Billy Tell]

Has Super Rugby still got 20 min red cards?

[Bones]

Yellow against Ireland surely? High shot in English player.

[Bones]

That's bullshit to not look at the high shot on Slade.

[Bones]

Calf or Achilles for Curry. England forwards are going to run out of puff...

Yep. Eddie’s genius selection of one specialist flanker in the 23 coming home to roost 🙄

The sending off was a fucking disgrace. That crowd in Twickenham have paid big money and the game was ruined in the second minute. Quickest sending off in 5/6 Nations history.

Hint to World Rugby, the punters aren't playing to watch the referee.

There has to be a better way to ensure player safety than just using Red Cards for something which is obviously not malicious. Give a Penalty Try and a Yellow Card?

[Billy Tell]

2 minutes game time list there while lines up kick then told further forward….

[Bones]

Ireland would be nothing without second rate cane Gibson-Park
