Rugby Union Discussion - Six Nations Time

[T00lsh3d]

Nice job Ireland, injure DuPont . Lucu is such a massive downgrade

 

[JPRouve]

I just want to point out that it's a penalty when you enter a ruck without binding.

 

[unchanged_lineup]

Irish counter rucking has been excellent

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

He's like a parent not following through on disciplinary threats.

Exactly. I gave my kids one warning and second time, I made them sleep in the shed for two nights.

Sorted.

Apart from her recurring nightmares that is…

Put that in the ‘have I gotten soft’ thread

 

[unchanged_lineup]

Hmmmm is Aldritt saying that the Dupont injury was deliberate? I don't think it looked it at the time

 

[Shane88]

I just get angrier at spineless football refs when I watch rugby.

I don't think it was either. Understandable they'd be annoyed he's gone though.

It's deliberate and common. He went into the ruck, off his feet, with his shoulder and without binding. These actions routinely cause concussions and knee injuries.

 

[unchanged_lineup]

If anyone is in Sam Prendergast's circle, can you ask him to work on some robotic repeatable routine?

Shred my nerves every time he kicks.

Alright Greg put your phone away and focus on the match

 

[unchanged_lineup]

That was extremely harsh

 

[Xaviesta]

Simon Easterby ''feck''.

Porter thought he was sneaky and subtle enough. He wasn't.

 

[JPRouve]

I don't joke about that because it's one of my pet peeves. And it's not about Dupont being injured, shit happens but a similar action will happen from either teams several times in that game and it's extremely dangerous.

I'll look for a replay later, definitely want another look. I just thought it was awful luck at the time.

Absolutely agree - how different is it?

Clarity and confidence from the refs.

Wish someone could explain why football refs couldn’t be more like this.

 

[edgecutter]

Ref very poor.

I’m same as @unchanged_lineup , I didn’t think it was deliberate initially but I’d have to see it again

 

[christy87]

Herring got sent off for exactly that in December

 

[unchanged_lineup]

Massive kick that

 

[T00lsh3d]

Hmm. Looks worse on replay but I’m still not sure it was deliberate

 

[Xaviesta]

Right, I think Dupont's injury warranted another look from the officials to see if there was any foul play instead of it being an unfortunate 'rugby incident'. There's a bit of Frizell on Mbonambi in the World Cup final about that.

 

[Wayne's World]

Is there any benefits to the 7-1 split for teams? Once you get an injury or two it completely hinders you

 

[JPRouve]

Hmm. Looks worse on replay but I’m still not sure it was deliberate

It's deliberate. Think about it this way, he is wrong in every single aspects of a ruck. He never tries to stay on his feet, he comes from the side, with his shoulder, without binding or even pretending to wrap. Either the player has no idea about the rules or he doesn't care.

 

[eire-red]

Don't think the two are thatcomparable really. Frizzle went straight into Mbonambi for that one. Mbonambi was set and didn't move.

If Dupont doesn't move to the left it looks like it wouldn't have opened up his knee for that kind of injury. Horrible but looked totally accidental.

 

[Xaviesta]

This game will open up in the last 20.

 

[T00lsh3d]

Ireland need a second half like they did against England

 

[T00lsh3d]

Should have been a turnover to France there

 

[unchanged_lineup]

Should have been a turnover to France there

Yeahhhh I would really like to see that again. Look like he had a lift

 

[Xaviesta]

Could be a double movement re the try and some foul play by Nash.

 

[Wayne's World]

This ref is having a difficult afternoon

 

[StamsShinyHead]

Not sure about that decision

 

[unchanged_lineup]

What.

 

[Xaviesta]

So Gus thinks Peter O'Mahony milked that.

 

[T00lsh3d]

Excellent work from the officials, done a great job so far today

 

[moses]

Hmmm. That seems odd.
