brilliant try that

Put that down to Prendergast's 50-22.
Looks like this is how it'll play out.
I think they need to decide if they’re using it because they don’t want to ruin a spectacle, or because the foul was a lower level.
Without the new rule, I think the grand slam was definitely gone.
With it, I think it's back on.
It feels very weird.

Totally. And there was no mitigation in this case.
Is there any circumstance where the red is a full red
That’s my take. Ran from a few yards away, clear line of sight, no bumps (to deviate run of either player), didn’t dip (either).
True reds are going to be x rated?
If the refs believes that the foul is deliberate and dangerous, they can award it.
This one should have been an example of it.
Absolutely.
Gibson-park is offside in every phases of that sequence. 
Dangerous? Yes. Deliberate? Yes.
They have a chance to reduce (you’ll never completely remove) head collisions. Need to back up their apparent aim.
Ultimately I think everyone who wants the game to survive should want dangerous head contact to be punished.
We're seeing the opposite of that today. This and the new lineout rule has only introduced grey areas and bad decisions.
I think the Welsh player might be ok here.
Good decision Mr Ridley
There he is now, CONNACHT'S BUNDEE AKI
Kick.
Superb kicking by Prendergast today. Fair play to him after the woes of the first two matches.
That could be very costly by Prendergast.
Decision aside (I’d err on no). The running (lines and variation) is chalk and cheese from Gatland
Simultaneous would be a try I think.
no try for me
Wait did the TMO say it was short as the reason for no try?
Yes because he was.
Yeah, so when he touched downward… short. Then ball moves on a bit and he touches . So gave as knock on
Stupid from Wales there. Slow, grab the ball, launch it and get the line out from kick back
This is much more like how Prendergast kicked in the u20s.
Get in Ireland!!!
That ended up like the game I thought it would be. Huge win, albeit with the shadow for me of the 20min red. But thems the rules.
great for Wales to finally put a performance together
haven't seen us attack like that in ages
haven't seen us attack like that in ages
That was a cracker game.
Good game that, best team overall won. Good to see the improvement from Wales though, much more competitive.. effort, mentality, lovely passing moves. Mee did well on debut.
Bonus points for how much it’ll have annoyed Gatland to see the Welsh players finally get the fingers out.
Gibson-Park probably the right call for MotM and definitely our best player today, but Jac Morgan must have run him bloody close. What a shift he put in and is a real shout now for a spot in probably then most competitive area for the Lions this summer.
Of course not, I’m not Scottish
Funny how winning a triple crown doesn’t seem like a big deal now. Felt like the Holy Grail back in the day.
Anyhoo. Come on Scotland!
Anyhoo. Come on Scotland!
it’s only beating a weak wales and england, and then a scotland side that only bother turning up against england. it’s like playing united 3 times.
That french ref is shite, Curry lost his balance and had both hands on the ground.
we need all the help we can get.
I don't mind it but the ref could be a bit more subtle.
And now the loosehead isn't binding but Scotland is sanctioned.
