6N - France v Ireland

[stodders]

@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.

[sparky]

It remains a Yellow Card. Good news but it makes me wonder why Sam Cane got a Red Card in the World Cup Final?

[stodders]

Hahahahahahaha

It remains a yellow luckily but it's a fucking lottery. A different ref and it's a red.

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.

[stodders]

@sparky bullshit decision. Rugby kills itself once again.

[sparky]

Gibson-Park scores for Ireland. Aki set it up. A try made in New Zealand.

[sparky]

@Billy-Tell I've not watched any Rugby since the World Cup final either. Football's more fun these days.

[sparky]

France 0 Ireland 10.

France look shit.

[stodders]

@akan004 inconsistent rulings. You can’t ref games with such wild inconsistency. It is a farce.

[stodders]

@akan004 a different guy in the bunker you mean. Refs will be sending guys to the bin with a bunker review forever more now. They don’t want to make the decision.

[sparky]

I'm bored.

Yeah meant to say the bunker guy.

@sparky it is dull. Crowd noise is good though

[sparky]

It's so sloooowwwww.

[stodders]

@sparky that was a better passage. Unlucky with the pass

Hope super is better. If they really want to get rid of head contact they will need to radically change the laws. Cards won’t solve the problem. But they ruin matches and attract no new fans. And lose existing ones.

[stodders]

@Billy-Tell 💯

[sparky]

Ireland deep on attack but held up.

[sparky]

Ireland could have walked that in if they'd spun it wide.
