@HarryJNangwala @FMC_Rugby Reiko missed initial tackle so was just making up, second row closing off outside channel is what saved the try, Yes he shouldn't have tried that offload if they had gone 3 phases more would have won it

@FMC_Rugby Sam Prendergast wasn’t making that tackle Reiko spared the young flyhalfs blushes Can’t imagine how much backlash he’d get if Reiko doesn’t track back and make that tackle

Brilliant from Jaminet and Dréan initially but Dréan should hold onto it here for me! No need score in that phase

@guingsy1 @Caolan_Scully U won't need able to contest soon!

@Caolan_Scully His eyes were on the ball you gowl, clumsy at the most

Max Deegan can have no excuses here, 100% a red card for me Nasty collision

@jim_demps Two players contesting the high ball, both looking at ball, players coming at different angles shit happens, not a red

Just following on from the Aldegheri tweet from last week - This from Deegan was the reddest of red cards. Don’t know why the referee goes yellow and bunker instead of just flashing red.

@Bitshit1 That same clown cut a guy off a few weeks ago because he wouldn't pull in to talk when he was on hands free, liveline as bad as I always was

🎙️Woman on #liveline destroys presenter with facts and gets cut off when talking about #fuelprotest

@historyinmemes So what

In 1978, Chelsea’s club doctor famously ran onto the pitch with a cigarette dangling from his mouth to help stretcher off an injured player.

@GutsoverfearIE And what are they spending all this money on? A welfare state as It always has been, keep pumping the benefits out

From the day we're born in Ireland we begin to get farmed for taxes. From our baby food to our funeral costs and even to what we leave in our wills after we're gone, we get taxed for it all. Petrol & Diesel prices keep rising but so does the 64% tax on it. Without that tax it would cost just 80cent a litre at the pump. It's not a war that's choking us, it's our own Government and their greed.

@brettruganalyst Refs decided the championship who would have thought 🙄

Clarification: this is the last penalty for France. Penalty called by TMO / awarded 2 phases later. (The tackle was on Josh Brennan too!!!)

@LeinsterClub Would have a feeling the Scots are favorites

Scotland have not won in Lansdowne Road in the 6 Nations era. It was 10,257 days ago that Scotland beat Ireland to secure 4th place in the 5 Nations. You should ask your dad does he remember the game?

@CorkGourmetGuy @Munsterrugby Heard its a sh1t show, Prendergast's brother, keatley etc etc

As long as Ian Flanagan and those currently in charge @Munsterrugby remain in post, we will be forced to accept that beating a bottom place Zebre team, at home, without a BP, in a half empty Thomond Park, is a good day. They are destroying our club! #SUAF

@robbie_baylor @Rugby_Scoop Theres always more to it when a statement comes out!

@Rugby_Scoop Nothing to do with onfield

All Blacks Legend Carlos Spencer has departed his role as head coach at Terenure RFC, leaving six months into his first season in charge.The former All Black, who joined on a three-year contract, is returning to New Zealand for personal reasons. “I’ve found this decision very difficult given how much I’ve enjoyed the role at the club, but the pull from my family at home has been too strong,” Spencer said. “I have coached in clubs in Japan, South Africa and New Zealand and this is the first time without my family alongside me. I thought I was strong enough to do it alone with commuting at the right times, I wasn’t. “I’ve really enjoyed my time with the club, particularly working and developing the players and coaches over the season. I will continue to be involved in the direction of the team for the rest of this season and look forward to our continued success. “I would like to thank the management, coaches, players and supporters for welcoming me into their club and I look forward to coming back to Lakelands in the years ahead.” #BilasoJonathan I #rugby I #nzrugby

@guingsy1 @thepaulwilliams Look it up in d rule book , scrum is a means to restart the game, if that's what you want to do or get a penalty, cup half full or empty

@thepaulwilliams But allowing a team to scrum for yellow cards is hardly fair no problem with the scrum, the reward is the penalty , that’s enough

I really don't like all this chatter about depowering the scrum. Powerful scrums, require heavy powerful players. Heavy powerful players get tired and leave space. Depowering scrums will mean lighter players and less space overall. Plus, I love a scrum 👊

@brettruganalyst Thanks for highlighting, he's been doing it for yrs and it's outright dangerous on a rugby field, by d way what's your view on casey card?

someone going to get very badly injured with this tackle technique. rightly penalised #ENGvSCO

@RuaidhriOC Interesting hollies take on advantage rule, not my fault it was a poor kick (from mccloskey), I really hope irish coaches get clarification on this

That's impact from Jack Crowley Locked in for Twickenham after about 55 seconds on the pitch

@joehealyfarmer @Johan_Jordaan72 Byrne is well ahead of both, madness not picking him. Prendergast may well be the hill we perish on. It's like starting with a handicap, he's just not close yet

@Johan_Jordaan72 We just don’t have anything near an almost complete 10. That last penalty kicked dead was as poor as any of the missed kicks in the 1st half

Sam Pendergast is the hill Ireland will die on! Sadly!

@itsskitime @patmccarry @Ian_madigan Perfectly put. Players get annoyed & frustrated for a reason, think of the recent Irish games and how bad the reffs were. Munster still waiting on reason for late penalty v Toulon

@patmccarry @Ian_madigan Not one word about the fact that Bundee was 100% correct just like Mack Hansen was correct. When is referees going to be held to account for doing a bad job. Connacht again today on the recieving end of a horrendous bad call. Respect is a two way street

"Referees are putting their foot down, saying, 'We're not taking it any more'. I'm completely in favour of it" @Ian_madigan with some strong, considered words of his own, regarding Irish teams piping up to match officials One to watch for in the 6N 🤐

@RuaidhriOC Ruaidhri did you see the penalty that leinster got b4 Tector try, conn took ball into contact, ruck, leinster player on grou d rolls out with ball & ref gave leinster a penalty, take a look if you have it recorded, changed d game

Ulster on the end of a very harsh decision in Llanelli. Absolutely a pen v Werner Kok, but if it had been seen in real time it would have been advantage over, McCann tackle, game over. Instead, go back for TMO and Scarlets get & take second chance Did more than enough to win it

@eugedoog @patmccarry True but considering other 10 can't find touch it's necessary to have him.

@patmccarry It's all Bundee is good for now. Well passed his sell by date. Carty as well....

"If I hear from number 22 or 23 again, they're going to be penalised" 🗣 Bundee Aki and Jack Carty warned after contesting that crucial Leinster scrum call (looked correct, though) 🟢🔵

@patmccarry Pat the turning point was the penalty he gave leinster b4 the Tector try, absolutely shocking call, should have given connaght entry into leinster territory but instead gave leinster lineout in 22

@ek_rugby Had to stop watching just after tector scored, terrible decision by ref for penalty running up to it

Andrew Sparrow punching Luke McGrath in the face celebrating that last Leinster try😄 #CONvLEI

@techie_fan Agree no need for it in rugby

Do they really need that style of announcer at a rugby game - do people like it and do we need it ? Very American in style and not my thing but if folks like it fair enough #LEIvLAR
