Yep. That's it. Done. I've been fuming about the Izzy suspension, the calls in the reds v blues game. Frankly for years the rules and officiating has seen a massive deterioration. I could list countless bullshit calls that are getting more and more frequent. i was borderline not going to watch...
I cannot and will not ever get over the amount of literal and metaphoric bounces of the ball that have gone against Australia playing England the last 2 years.
And yes, ref was playing advantage.
I think it's fairly legit to point out that the Irish back line has been decimated by injuries.
Considering the amount of players they lost coming into the game is a tough break for them.
You'd think Australia would look fresher with a number of players not part of the France test.
They seem tired and very rusty.
Credit to the Irish, they're playing solid, aggressive footy. Hard for the forwards to adapt to how the ref is officiating.
The Irish are so good at turning a tackle into a maul. They do it regularly against Australia.
Is australia particularly vulnerable to this? Surprised the kiwis don't do it more
Mumm's in trouble. But it's hard for the player not to be tipped beyond the horizontal when that's where he started.
Commentators calling for red can get fucked
