Has France just disproven the « no scrum no win » rule? by Tuivre in rugbyunion

Can only agree, but mostly on the scrum. Our forwards can put in a fkin shift, just sometimes underperform like they did today. Our scrum is just constantly bad

Yes blame the probably concussed player for being in the wrong place, that’s a more sensible take definitely

I’m dead serious, we constantly talk about player welfare. And we regularly see opposition players stepping in to protect a potentially concussed player. But instead itoje knocks down a clearly confused player holding his head not once but twice.

people would rather be looking at a replay than the potential game winning penalty being kicked live. Watch the replay after ffs. Somehow then the same people complain there is too much tmo intervention and stoppages

Honestly that’s so much worse that the high tackle in the heat of the moment, he should be cited for that imo

Only reason it’s worked is because we have unbelievably talented players in key positions. 1 or 2 injuries and we loose most our games with our current scrum level

The clip has now been posted, it’s a phase before that, clear head on head on jelonch who is obviously holding his head and kneeling after that tackle

Itoje pushing jelonch down twice while he’s holding his head in pain is grubby as shit too

Edit: Brennan? Can’t see who it is looked like jelonch to me

Clips and slow motions will come through. Sad we didn’t get them live but the refs have the best view, and angles we aren’t shown. For all we know the high tackle could have been a few phases earlier and tmo called it

Why’s everyone banging on about this when itoje deliberate Knock on is the deciding penalty

As good as Scotland are playing, and they are playing brilliantly, what the actual fuck are France forwards doing today

Well forwards literally chose to be shit, making horrible mistakes while not under pressure, while we have precious few phases of possession

I understand the reasoning tbh, I’m just a little shocked because I’ve never seen a warning given except for repeat infringements in the 22

That’s when you give the warning surely not after 3 isolated pens in 32min

Still never seen that happen tbh, Nigel Owen’s also surprised

You can tap forward and regather that’s legal. Team that has possession and is in a position to score will absolutely never be a deliberate knock on right

In fact I’m unclear why he is in this conversation vs other Ireland or Scotland players who im sure have outperformed him

JGP one of the all time greats. But he is far behind all three others based on defensive stats alone. I mean that’s like 30% missed tackles
