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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
