@LawlorBren86009@patmccarry No, just no. As soon as an Irish team wins a couple of times, the English tans will get together and demand a change of format to make it “fairer” and run the thing, the way they did the Heineken Cup
@NicknameisBush But Piardi did immediately call it as an accidental knock on. So he saw it and judged accidental.
It’s not the stuff that Piardi misses so much as the stuff he sees differently to everyone else on the planet
@Thembileeh He can’t play when his team aren’t on the front foot, and they weren’t against Bordeaux. No one ever denied he looks good when his team is consistently getting go forward
I don’t mind held up being given to the defending team, but conversely the refs need to clamp down on pulling the player over the line after the tackle is made #LEIvBUL
@patmccarry Of the 3, Frawley is the 1 who’s shown his game translates to top level, but he’s played less than 200min at 10 this year. The IRFU and Lei made this mess and I don’t see it going our way against the ABs, 2 more armchair rides are gonna give another false sense of hope for Sam
@bluesvalisi By that logic a lazy runner can’t obstruct cause he’s not looking directly at the ball. He put his legs up in the air to be a nuisance, to make JGP have to avoid them, take an extra step, be distracted, anything that might slow the play, he didn’t need to know where the ball was
