Went back anyway.
Eh? Dropped it onto his leg and forward. Always a knock on.
Wasn’t anything other than a knock on.
Just seen a replay of the red card. Seems slightly harsh. Face to face contact but didn’t seem like a deliberate or malicious incident.
And there goes Curry.
Doesn't need to be malicious. It was late, but more importantly he sprinted in upright and hit upright, and knocked the guy out. It would be farcical if it wasn't red tbh

If they can avoid too many draining scrums, this might morph into a Gallant England epic.

Of course. I didn’t see what happened to the Swarmist afterwards but it didn’t look like a reckless attempt at decapitation.

Not my point.
Lawes got wrapped in the air at that lineout. French refs.

Emoji puts his arms to doing something different from clapping and whooping to nail that maul from the Swarm line out. Sexton stays faithful to his true calling and walks towards his forwards with the full arms outstretched pose.

Ireland try it again and get pinged. This is really dumb by them - think they've let this go to their heads a bit. They just need to calm down and trust their defence. I hope they don't.

Am I missing something about how England are managing this? Given our scrum hasn't been outstanding recently, how are they getting such dominance?

Ireland don't have an extra player at the lineout just because you have a red. Your scrums have been fine so I'm not following your excuse for the maul. It was just poor body positions.
