Initially I thought not, but the replays look like, within the laws, Red. Obviously not malicious though. Try England. Come on.
That is the worst red card I’ve seen. Both his arms are below shoulder high. Vinapoula is crouched and he drives his head into Bundees shoulder. This is becoming ridiculous
He has history for this, but these red cards are looking harsh. However, within the new guidelines I think it was a red.
That penalty tells you it's not England's day, the brief rally after the try has been extinguished. 29-11...
we’ll have to agree to disagree 1. there was no intent. 2. He did not lead with his shoulder 3. Both his arms wrap around the player below shoulder high (and he was dipped) 4. The players head was dipped and well below normal shoulder height 5. The defending player was almost static watch it again. Aki does not lead or tilt his shoulder. Vinapoula lowers and drives into his head into an almost static Aki if that’s red, I give up
Wonder how Eddie will bluff his way out of this tournament. One good performance out of five (can’t count Italy, sadly, any more). Still appalling discipline and zero leadership on the pitch. Ireland have been very impressive today in contrast, calm and in control. Still time for me to eat my words.......
Yeah, we knew that coming into the tournament though. England have gone backwards, definitively, Ireland and Farrell A are learning and building. The way it’s panned out to give Wales the chance of the Slam is bizarre, it’s been the poorest quality tournament I can remember. Though France look like a genuinely exciting prospect and hopefully they will drag the rest in the same direction. Now I have to watch the game in Paris with the the Welsh element of my household outnumbering me..... All over, well played Ireland.
Leinster are to Ireland what Saracens are to England. Don’t underestimate the effect that Saracens being dismantled will have had on England. Just a bad run of games. They’ll recover
A most unexpected performance by Ireland and England couldn't cope with it..... Now hopefully France will give Wales bit of a tonking.....
Tbh, she stripped off and was all ready for me, but unfortunately, I'm feeling a bit **** post vaccine, so I asked her to leave!
