Hi all. I made this account after seeing a lot of discussion about rugby refereeing decisions in recent times. I hope to provide anyone with some extra context as to why referees would make the decision. I hope to eventually learn how to post clips on this but I am new so time 1/

Id rather we won a fuckin throw in on Thursday than win the “Rugby World Cup”

The Extreme Football Enthusiast@ExtremeFootbal4

True or False? More Irish people would rather qualify for the Football World Cup (Ireland's top sport) than win the Rugby World Cup.

Reckon it might have been helpful if Chessum ran it a bit closer to the posts. Had a great game but it’s those moments I guess you look back on.

As Noel McNamara (Bordeaux attack coach) said it’s getting harder and harder to score when you actually play in the 22.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland had a staggering 73 rucks in Ireland's 22 this afternoon. Despite all the pressure, they were unable to capitalise to the same effect of Ireland. In contrast, Ireland only had a mere 27 rucks in Scotland's...

Darragh Murray has been absolutely fantastic since coming on for Tadhg and then Joe. Only disappointing thing is Virgin Media Team getting their stats wrong. He made his debut in 2025 Summer Tour #IREvSCO

@LeinsterClub It will be reversed this weekend with Marcus Smith tapping the ball in the 82nd min when England are up by 2 points

There is no 6Nations Super Saturday moment better than this. Prove me wrong

Humble Leinster Supporters Club@LeinsterClub

@OMG_ITS_NDABA In the 2015 Six Nations, England had to win their final game by 26 points against France after Ireland beat a fragile Scotland in Edinburgh by 30 points. Look at what it means to the French players to only lose by 20 points rather than 27 Super Saturday is better than a final

With my team’s 10, 12, 13, 15 and the 2nd XV fly half out tomorrow, I’ve been drafted in as starting 10. Haven’t played there in over a decade but it’s only away to top of the league who are 14 from 14 so it’ll be fine I’m sure. No baptism of fire whatsoever
