He does speak as if he's swallowed a few too many self help and spiritualism books these days.

No argument there, utterly brainless, clear red

Yep, definitely a red these days.

Yeah no choice, absolutely the right call

POM

How the fuck is Wayne Barnes allowed to continue reffing?

Obviously can't blame Barnes directly, but so many rucks have happened this game where players have not entered correctly and it felt inevitable it would start escalating.

Your point being?

Because he consistently gets big calls like that right?

Peter O'Mahoney doing Peter O'Mahoney things. A dirty player.

Are you saying that was not a red card?

He's not dirty; he's dense.

He doesn't run onto the pitch intending to injure someone; he just has a bad habit of getting the red mist, on the pitch.

When did they cancel the rugby , and put on a rerun of the Keystone cops

Perhaps he means that Barnes had a clear view of it and thought it was fine in real time, which is a shocker

Well, it’s not like watching Japan.

No, he’s dirty. He’s been a cheap shot bastard for a long time and it’s no surprise to see him get sent off for a dirty shot.

jaysus he wellied that

Yeah, he's filthy. Sometimes it's just niggle, sometimes it's outright dirty.

Great try but defence leaves something to be desired

Wales are gash.

Ireland are managing being a man down very well.

Go on Ireland....

Henshaw...what power...great try from Beirne

Beautiful try, now that is what fast ball does for you, England take note (although we know they wont)

Well that was too effin easy.

This is pitiful by Wales. Against 14 men you either
- keep the ball OR
- if you really want to kick it away [/O. Farrell], then play in the right areas

They've done neither.

PS North is so far over the Hill, Marco Polo could not find him.

You mustn't have watched rugby in the 70s & 80s if you think POM is a dirty player.

Come on, that's a rubbish argument. It's a different sport now. We judge him by his peers.

Weird comparison

Just seen the replay of the red card, no arguments there.

Who designs studio tables for sports progs?

Stone cold!!

Ireland looked rubbish until the red then just got better and better. Odd

He’s not playing in the 80s.

And in those days, someone taking the kind of cheap shots he does would have been sorted out very quickly. He’s not a hard man, he’s a cheap shotter

It's just for me to call a player, 'dirty', you're specifically talking about going out to injure someone; & that pretty much disappeared from the top level, with Professionalism.

Every player cheats; but It's very rare to look at an incident; & immediately come to the conclusion that one player was out to injure another.

POM deserved the red, but I don't think there was any thinking about the incident on his part ... that's his problem.

Look at the size difference in the old days.

They’re normal blokes - the difference is incredible.

North loses the ball again

Since red card
- Ire pens = zero
- Wal pens = 5
