Does Henderson ever play more than two matches in a row for Ireland before getting injured again?

[Conspicuous]

Idiotic penalties, just like the first half in Italy. Thought the yellow card was harsh.

For real? Deliberate knock on with a two man overlap outside him

My first thought was that the ball hit his hand rather than him going towards it. The replay they showed at halftime maybe was more conclusive that he reached for it.

[Uncle fester]

Not even sure that is a deliberate knock on. Took McAki's hand first?

No effort to actually tackle Ali and only glanced off the side of him. He was going for the ball and fluffed it.

[TheNatalShark]

Falling apart now

[Taranaki Snapper]

I'm watching Wasps/Newcastle in what I presume is real time, can someone confirm?

Took Aki's hand before he touched the ball IMHO

The match is on now, yes.

I too am watching and wondering where in the hell the team who finished last season went. Performances so far for Wasps have been lacking this season... admittedly some key personnel are missing.

edit - that try was pretty sweet, though! Rarely seen Odogwu with a chance to open up, didn't realise he was quite that quick.

Fallen apart.

Wtf.

So much so Ireland think can now ragdoll Scotland.

On Eyetie stream so it's not great. But nothing illegal in knocking an opponent's hand to dislodge the ball?

[Torquemada 1420]

As an aside, I might have to concede that Fra is no longer the world's dumbest team. And it probably isn't Arg either. Sco look to have taken the mantle after some sterling, consecutive efforts.

[Slick]

Christ, they are even scoring real trys from further out than 5m against us. I’m nearly done with this

A fantastic try...

Surely Ire scoring tries (plural) is bad enough?

[Taranaki Snapper]

a brace for that terrible lid...there is no natural justice...

[TheNatalShark]

Great try Van Der Merwe. Scotland really needed that to get back in the game, and that quick.

[Torquemada 1420]

Not bad from Mac Van der Merwe.

[Torquemada 1420]

Mac Maitland on.

Earls? That was the most obvious penalty going. Brown looked at him and ambled into thin. The c*nt is Brown. Earls did what anyone smart would do.

Sure, if you’re fine with football style “making sure the ref sees it” diving. I’m not. He was put off his line and threw himself to the ground

[TheNatalShark]

Irish players getting unfettered access to the ref, openly criticising the linesman but when Ritichie matched their petulance he got a talking to.

Doesn't feel like equal standards and ref is being far too gentle.

My opinion on it is irrelevant. It's the most clear and obvious penalty you'll ever see. Quite frankly abysmal stupidity from Fraser Brown. There was 0 need to do it. 0 reason to do it. Just unforgivable.

Brown has previous. Another brainless twat.

[Torquemada 1420]

Kerrist this tournament has been sh*te. If there had been no COVID restrictions, pretty sure we'd be down to these gates by now anyway.

Feeble stuff.
It was a cast iron penalty.

Nice bit of work by Tips for that try!

How is that not a red card against filthy Liam?

[sturginho]

Fuck off Barnes you fucking cunt

[bessantj]

How about that, another try.

[GogLais]

Didn’t look good. I think he’s just been carted off with an injury.

It was fucking disgraceful, both by the player and officials, hope the cunt gets cited

[GogLais]

Did somebody with their own line out?

[bessantj]

How about you fuck off

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no.

[bessantj]

Nice kick and collect by Italy for the try.

[tcc_dc]

beautiful kick and try by Italy...
