The reverse angle shown after the conversion taken showed the foot clearly in touch how was that not used by video ref?
AA, front on looked like foot was down, didn’t from the side.
I thought likelihood too, but the angle of the foot didn't change, if the toe had touched with force I guess you would expect the ankle to rotate. It could have been the lightest brush but once given on the field then I suppose there was nothing definitive.
Ball - I think by logic something would have touched on the bulgey bit, even if the lightest initial touch before it rotated and compressed. The sort of light touch the foot probably made, in fairness, but they couldn't extrapolate.
If they hadn't called try on field, no way they'd have given it.
Well they could have done best of three with the view they didn't show till afterwards!
Ireland have been so good this half I am now worried that Wales are actually really good but were just up against the best team in the world. It’s shite being Scottish.
Don't worry, Wales are shit!!
I was just about to say that DuPont was having a bit of a poor game. Trying a bit too hard, perhaps. But that try saving tackle was amazing!
What a game this is
But that try saving tackle was amazing!
Even though the Irish co commentator said it was great skill from Hansen!!!!!!
Don’t worry, Wales are shit!!
Scotland should run away with it this afternoon. Put a big score on a weak and inexperienced Wales. If Ireland and France continue to play so openly, Scotland might start licking their lips in anticipation 😀
Having seen the third angle now, that shouldn't have been given (well - based on what they originally showed it should.... is it an Irish TV director?)
Haha! Just seen that, TMO at it there. Mind you France are lucky to have 15 for the second half.
Gauss - don't say that! Don't you know we are doomed?
After tomorrow I’m swapping places with TJ behind the sofa, any England supporter must feel a total respect for these teams and an immense amount of impending doom.
3 halves of amazing Rugby to come!
Red card aside Barnes is being a massive homer here.
Ireland are presenting better to him and the game he wants to play in all fairness. Hold on! How many players did he send off last year to suit Wales? Fickle AA,fickle.
Ireland look to be tired they will do well to hang on but I think they will.
Well that sorts it!
You ****ing love to see it.
Ireland looking very formidable... serious defence
Pace they play at is something else,that was such a good game.
I just loved that game. A game befitting of the top 2 in the world. So much to love about it. It’s the first time in a long time I felt with around ten to go*, “we’ve got this…” 🇮🇪
*EDIT: Against France!!
Im ready

I also think DuPont’s tackle might be one of the best I’ve ever seen. I can say that now of course…
Well, I wasn’t expecting that to be as entertaining as it was. Great game. I’d be cock-a-hoop if I was an Ireland fan. They’re well on track for the grand slam now. I can’t see England beating them. Whilst Scotland have a once in a generation team, playing at their best, Ireland have had their number for a while now.
I wouldn’t be too disheartened as a France supporter either, they played some lovely rugby. The loss might even do them some good.
Fingers crossed the Scotland v Wales game is as entertaining. Hopefully it won’t be as good as over after 10 minutes, like last week.
I can’t see England beating them
That’s not even in doubt!
Looking forward to this, well kind of.... Is there room behind that sofa TJ?
Looking forward to this, well kind of…
Me too. I’m so convinced Scotland should win comfortably, that I’m not feeling the usual trepidations. Hoping for some great tries 😀
The Wales bench is exciting too. There’s the possibility of them coming on and doing something special.
come and join me
How bigs your sofa?
come and join me 🙂
should have said that an hour ago 😂
As a neutral for this game, despite my 1/8th Welshness (😂), I expect Scotland to win handsomely then bollox it up against Italy.
Meanwhile, I expect England to bollox it up against everyone. Wooden spoon is still a trophy, no?? 🤷🏼♂️
Is that TJ I can see popping his head over the sofa!!
Shit. Game over. Not anything like as good as the Ireland v france game
Shit, get back behind the sofa!!
He's a lucky boy! Are attackers not allowed to change direction?
Shit if that had gone to hand!!!
Andrew Brace showing his Cardiff birth. Penalty at 39 minutes. Aye right jackals were hands on the ground.
We did draw the short straw on refs. Brace and Murphy.
Edit - not biased but not the best
Either of the yellows today could have been red. The French one was prob a stronger case for red
The quality gap in attack between this game and the previous is a bit glaring
It’s not going to be Wales’s day today, too many points not converted. Gone are the days when Wales had ‘forgotten how to lose’ - then any sniff and we’d score. Scotland need to do a bit more to live up to the hype methinks.
Tshiunza and Jenkins have been so good
That bloke is the difference really
Russell?
Daddy, what were the 90s like?
