Barnes trying to talk it down - how much higher degree of danger can you get? Crazy call that was red all day. Herring not getting a HIA is a disgrace

I fucking hate this 'level of danger' bollocks.

That should've been a red.

It’s a bad decision by Barnes, but I’m delighted he’s made it.

That is never red. Not direct to head. Wayne correct.

Borderline so could have gone either way.

Barnes needs to be stood down after that call.

The man is an embarrassment. No more damning indictment of rugby than that joke of a man is considered a "sportsman".

Was red for me. Barnes bottled it.

What. A. Game.

Good decision from Barnes. Always marginal but most of the force was through the chest. And it doesn't spoill a truly terrific game.

So glad they went for scrum, even before Atonio went off it was on.

Barry O’Driscoll may as well resign if that is considered low degree of danger. Traumatic brain injury so blatant you can smell the CSF

Definite red, no question.... But I'm kind of glad it wasn't given (in context of the game, not the bigger picture for the sport)

Whoever wins it will probably do so with a bonus.

Note how Ntamack's restarts are NEVER in an area where they can be challenged.

Agreed but Barnes will be told about this at half time and spend the rest of the match fecking France

Dupont makes the error of offloading on the assumption that his FH might have been running a support line. Sorry Antoine: that was Jalibert last week. Don't forget your club mate stands so deep, he was more likely to be still in the dressing room than on your shoulder.

Almost zero setpiece, very few penalties considering we're half an hour in.

Lads will be knackered.

Wonder if Ireland will enter a ruck correctly this match. Over/under 0.5
