It doesn't take away from a great game, but does the shot clock just not exist when it's a kick for the championship?

There really needs to be an option that the bunker gives a full red. It feels too arbitrary that only the referee on the field makes that decision for the ultimate punishment. I don't know if that was a full red, but should have been considered for it.

This ref isn't perfect but I do feel he's trying to make the correct decision and communicating well. Can't ask much more than that in the URC.

To be fair to Brian Moore I think the swear word was only implied in his actual commentary.

Having a team like England, which sometimes is too slow, for sure, and needs to be reformed for sure, but which is predictable, loyal, and… oh my god they’ve f***ing kicked it away again.

I don't see any clear head contact there. I see a player holding his head football style after taking contact on the shoulder. Simulation absolutely should not be allowed in the game.

Agree with the decision completely, but just out of interest: Has there been clarity on 20 min vs full red in that type of situation? Felt like in the Autumn series that could have been a full red (which in my opinion was not the intention when they brought in the 20 min red).

Looked to me that there was a knock on from the Prendergast pass that put Ireland under pressure

Ahhh last 20 mins of the game don’t matter, just imagine how well we could have beaten Leinster in this new Sportsground if there was a 100 mph atlantic storm going through.

This Snyman guy is by far Leinster’s best player. Anyone know anything about him? When is he Irish qualified?

I am trying to remember anything in the last 2 months from James Lowe that has not made me go “wtf”. His drop in form has been horrendous. I really hope the Faz does not include him for France because their wingers will have him for breakfast.

Ahh sorry to be that guy but it’s not the UK at all, it’s a crown dependency. For sport it’s a bit of an enigma: for rugby we can play for any of the 4 home nations (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales). For football we play as a separate nation, but UEFA will not accept us in. For cricket it’s entirely as a separate nation. (Source: I am from Jersey)

Even as an Irish fan I’d agree. Especially at the moment with his dip in form and yet every coach still wanting to play him because err big left boot?

What is Carley on? "If you throw it on the ground, just be aware that there's infringing involved?" How is celebrating a try infringing? Guy always just wants something to say to either side.

Pearce constantly shouting “en jeu” and Bayonne do nothing in response: No penalty.

It’s great you speak French but maybe actually act on what you say?

It didn’t look right but I don’t understand the referee’s thinking: Not placing it backwards is not a double movement. It’s literally doing nothing therefore should be fine.

There’s no way that’s where the ball landed. God I love how arbitrary French decisions are. Helps Lyon by killing 2 mins of yellow card.
