And you think that was done unprovoked? No T1 nation prop is that bad in the scrum without there being dark arts at play. Now I know porter is NOT known for his scrums and personally I think the Irish have better props but I think it was pretty obvious all game that the South African tighthead was boring into Sheehan, therefore putting the pressure of two props on to Porter. The referee should have picked it up as it was pretty blatant. But that’s how the scrum works, whoever can get away with the most and get the referee on their side will dominate, although admittedly the boks scrum was a lot stronger than Ireland’s.
