France could put more points on Wales than they did against England the way this is going
Wales rallied somewhat against the onslaught, more than England did last week
I am satisfied with the Welsh performance. This says a lot about how much they need to improve.
Oof
That sending off has ended the game effectively.
Shame, much better performance from England
A penalty at most for me. Harsh.
Terrible call.
He had no chance to do anything.
Agree with Clive. Itās an accident with a yellow to appease.
Congratulations Ireland
Worthy Grand Slam winners.
Players donāt get a chance to do that very often so well done one and all.
Much better from England, at least they can take something from this game.
England played very well. Ireland seemed good value for the win.
I canāt decide on the red card. There was clearly no malice, and I think that he was thrown by it looking like the dude was going to kick. I think that could be sufficient mitigation to be a yellow.
Ultimately it caused a head injury sufficient for the player not to be able to return, so Iām failing to have too much sympathy really.
Itās always a shame when such incidents effectively decide a game, but I donāt think itās unreasonable to have an argument along the lines of āif you donāt protect the safety of all players, you will lose the matchā
Anyway I thought that the yellow was probably worse!
True but England had nothing to lose. There is a long road ahead.
Didnāt mean to delete that!
Tldr
I completely disagree. Itās a shit decision. Zero intent and things like that just happen. Protect the players? Donāt play rugby.
Sometimes itās just one of those things!
As you well know, āI didnāt mean it guvā is not normally considered a defence
Love the fact that Ireland get an extra point for winning a tournament that is decided by who gets the most points.
You get 3 extra points for winning the Grand Slam. This removes the possibility that a team with 4 wins (all with bonus points) and a loss (scoring 4 tries and losing by less than 7) could place above a team with 5 wins (all without bonus points).
A system designed by a three quarter, no forward could have thought that out all by themselves
Freddieās red rescinded.
Obvious error is obvious.
