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

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:46 pm**

I fucking hate this 'level of danger' bollocks.

That should've been a red.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:46 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:46 pm**

Clear, clear red.

Match doctor not hooking Herring? At last.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:46 pm**

How was Herring not off straight away?

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:47 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:47 pm**

correct call

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:47 pm**

absolutely insane decision

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:47 pm**

Bogtrotters goading for a red card.

No shame.

Borderline so could have gone either way.

Barnes needs to be stood down after that call.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:47 pm**

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.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:47 pm**

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.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:47 pm**

I don't think that was an overly bad call tbh.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:48 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:48 pm**

Hell of a game so far.

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

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:49 pm**

Well punished Ireland.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:49 pm**

all right Ireland...powerful little try..

Tell Herring’s neurologist that in a few years

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:49 pm**

Shame as was a good game.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:49 pm**

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)

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:49 pm**

Whoever wins it will probably do so with a bonus.

This is not the Six Nations I grew up watching

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:50 pm**

Game on

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:50 pm**

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.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:52 pm**

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

Lads will be knackered.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:53 pm**

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

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:53 pm**

Great game so far. Great continuity from Ireland, they're such a well coached team.

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:54 pm**

The Irish pack is so good
This is an incredible game

Posted: **Sat Feb 11, 2023 2:54 pm**

Would have said they were trapped. Oh well.
