Well the ref just threw his good game out the window there with that call
I think he's been very good. Very level headed generally
How is that penalty not a card?
Because after a warning then card, every consecutive penalty is not a card. Unless you want 4 v 5. A card resets that, as had always been the case

@Donsteppa Yep me too!

Joke of a card.
Agreed
But the ref finally ran out of patience
For something Ireland have done all game

Excellent desire to keep them out in the 85th minute.
For a moment there I wondered if Karl T was going to get back out on the park again...
Hopefully never again, out props are good enough without him. Well he didn't improve them

Credit to the ref, he let some go but it was fair and that's all we can ask for.

The go at the ref like football players at times... POM.. Good player but obviously went to the BOD school of whinging.

If Dalton isn't 100% why is he on the bench given there's 2 x 7s in the starting loose forward trio? Akira injured but are Hoskins and Vaai covid/injured?
He kept mentioning Dalton with Akira when talking about six, so I think the dopey bastard is going to play three sevens at some point.
I'd prefer three 7s to two 7s and a lock named Barrett.
he said he saw Papali'i as a 6 as well (earlier in the season).
It's bizarre. And this is not Cane's fault - he's a solid leader, and a damn good 7. He's just getting competition from different (Ardie) and up and coming (Dalts) players.
For me, it's got to be Ardie to the bench to cover the loosies and rip open the game in the last 20. Pick a specialist 6 and 8 with some height, and play Cane or Dalts if Cane can't play - they are the most similar. The massive compromise comes with having to have both Cane and Ardie there; the balance is borked at that point.
Deep down, though, this isn't the issue. Our tight 5 is the key problem. Taylor Retallick Whitelock are not the physical specimens they used to be. Our props are average in so many facets, or have obvious weaknesses.
All in all, loss insurance on the Irish seems a smart move right now
After reading your post, Iām actually changing my prediction, ABs by 20+
