WXV: Trio drafted in for Ireland’s meeting with Women’s Eagles

The ref and TMO followed protocol to the letter and made the correct decision based of world rugbys current directives

As a kiwi our fans can be so one eyed even when we aren’t winning! There is a bit more humility finally now and it’s mostly attacking the players and coaches 🤦‍♂️

Chiefs and Crusaders fans hate each other

Saffas yes rub it in big time IMO - many of them but equally many have a crack like us kiwis

The Irish are odd ones

Getting to number one and it’s like they are far superior! The “in your head” song topped it off

Then there’s the English 😂

Aussies will go on and on and on about perceived injustices

The biggest part for me is the inconsistency

Yep really dumb and unfortunately red

Just totally not needed but no damage done.

Nic White should have been yellow carded

It worries me that these days we are scrutinising every decision and this game has two tries under scrutiny

I still feel that should have been a penalty against Morgan but it’s also wrong as it’s only because it was reviewed due to a well worked try

Tosi causing obstruction against the French. Innocuous and seen all the time

No try

Sheehan if we go by the ambiguous laws - arguable try!

It’s a bladdy try - he dove to score

He didn’t hurdle

"If a player is deemed to have left the ground to avoid a tackle; or to jump, or hurdle a potential tackler, then this is dangerous play and should be sanctioned accordingly"

If we use those laws then he dove in the air to avoid tacklers who couldn’t touch him 🤣🤷‍♂️

It would be interesting though if referees ever did decide to start enforcing rule 15.3.

There is an argument that it would make the game safer but it would largely take jackaling out of the game. Defending teams might need to go more to counter rucking to contest for possession
