@Christo_Jnr The 2nd yellow card for the Irish winger was ridiculous he is literally running to catch a ball and has his eyes on it and the US winger launches himself into the air and lands on the Irish player, at worst a rugby incident at best completely the US player’s fault
@Christo_Jnr The refereeing is insane - just tuned in to some of the match, as an Irish fan, a blatant forward pass for one of our tries not called/reviewed - doesn’t mean much today but dreadful officiating ….
And that is how piss poor refereeing of the scrum is impacting games, that one decision could completely change the whole game, officiating of scrums needs to be drastically changed #ITAvENG
@BanderWagon As a neutral (Irish) observer, 100% agree, he screwed Wales in the last 10, how he and Dickson are still allowed officiate at this level is mind boggling
@RugbyInsideLine Why can a ball carrier never be at fault for head contact - what’s happened here is the Italian 8 has led with his head and headbutted Casey who then gets a yellow card, this law needs to be looked at it’s completely crazy that only the tackler is ever penalised
@TFIupdates@Luas Cowper and a train on the outbound line just changed and headed back to town at the next stop down at Beechwood while we’re sitting here 20 plus minutes waiting
@RuaidhriOC When is it ever going to be viewed that the ballcarrier is at fault for the head contact, it’s a full contact sport why can it only exclusively be the tackler at fault for head contact, in this case the French was leading with his head but yet he can’t be at fault?! Madness
@HarveyRael1 This sort of shite just sickens me - you never hear Ulster or Connacht fans moaning about player selection it’s always a Munster low life who just can’t wait to bitch and moan about any Leinster player if they have a bad game, it’s absolutely pathetic
@m_brosnan What else is Beirne supposed to do, this is Arsene Wenger stuff - as soon as someone’s injured now there has to be someone’s head on a plate for it, absolute nonsense
@RedGoldenR @ie_rossitron@IrishRugby Gardiner had a green jersey on yea? Was this when he refused to give a yellow card for an intentional knock on even when the TJ told him it was or when he said that O’Mahony being cleared 10yards beyond a ruck didn’t matter or even no warning to France for multiple goal line pens
@MauriceLinnane Or everyone being able to hear the touch judge essentially tell him the intentional knock on was a yellow card only for him to dismiss it.
He set the tone early when he never even warned France for multiple infringements in the 22 you could see it coming all day
@Shelby906896761 Get a grip your 11 points have all come from braindead calls from the ref, he’s the only reason you had any bit of a hold in the game for 10mins
@tomdkeating@Overthehillprop Not sure who ‘McCathy’ is but McCarthy was only a back up/squad player at the World Cup and did well when he did get a chance… I seem to remember a match in Paris last year where he had a reasonably decent game too by all accounts….
