He should go back to where he belongs ....as an extra in the LOTR franchise. Lowe and JGP too.

He was on the receiving end of a few eye pokings by Frenchies back in the day.

Great drama at the end.

Listening to Pearse and Barnes on comms feels like you're intruding on some kind of Rupert and Lionel toff stag weekend. 'Mate' this, 'Barnsey' that. STFU.

What was the problem with the acrobatic Rhys Zammit try? I was watching with the sound off and couldn't figure out why it wasn't given

Being poked by a Frenchie is usually considered to be 98% safe if done correctly.

He grounded the ball on the line.

Got you - the base of the fleg being on the line. Makes sense now.

Should have been a penalty try from the maul before Rees-Zammit goes for the corner. Wales were bound to have scored only for the French prop taking the ball carrier. Makes it funnier though :lol: :lol:

Cancelled out the nonsense try that wasn't grounded. What is the point in TMOs when they get such basic things wrong?

Completely agree - absolute nonsense. Nothing clear and obvious except the hand holding it off the ground :banghead: :duh:

It's at the stage now that we need some kind of technology in the ball that can tell the ref if the ball was grounded. They just can't be trusted anymore to come up with consistent and fair judgements.

Woul;d have kept Beirne at 6, Stander at 8 and O'Mahony at 7. Brought Roux into the row. May have lost a bit of mobility about the park but would have had more fight and fire which we will need against this English pack. Big Billy and super Mario to have a field day (vomit). Hopefully Bundi will launch himself at that salbber Farrell and do us all a favour. Hard to see how the media will blame Stockdale for the pack getting stuffed up front but Im sure they'll find a way.

Hope Stander has a good un. Deserves a decent send off.
Sets a new record for punditry in respect of the number of things wrong in one paragraph.
Any tips for the Grand National?you are
