      I'm 7 minutes into the replay and already count one high shot right in front of the AR on a taking player and the cannonball by green 7 that was actually penalised

      sounds like a great cocktail-drinking game.

      Just saw clip which showed Hansen try came from an illegal kick through ruck by Keenan.

      Georgian tryo was looking right at ruck and missed it.

      I genuinely feel sorry for whoever took all that time to make that video. Genuinely.

      Ffs how is that a yellow

      YC every day and twice on Sunday

      Came at speed, in from the side, and hit the man late

      WTF is this 'came at speed' bullshit.. saw the same thing with Brodies card

      didn't realise there was a speed limit in rugby

      Wasn't a tap

      Brought his full force from distance; illegally in from the side where the Irish player was unsighted so couldn't defend himself; and hit him late

      That's a pretty shit thing to do and deserves a YC

      Weeks later, I still can’t get it out of my head that the worst thing about all of this is that regardless of the coaching tactics, player performances and decision making is I still can’t understand how the ABs let someone turn up and insult their captain like that with no retribution.

      Honestly, it’s the biggest disgrace of the lot.

      That’s the first thing they need to address. Someone will probably say it again and as long as it isn’t in a RWC knockout game then I’d end the game right there and then, if you know what I mean. Have some f’n pride.

      What is the law about not playing the ball he is referring too? If the ruck is over, and he is onside then why can't he go for the ball?

      I thought the ruck is only over once the ball is picked up by the "halfback".

      The more I think about it, the more I think the MABs should tour like Argentina XV. That offers a greater variety of opponents than PNC. Opponents like Japan, Spain, Georgia and Romania would be a good start.

      Or other minnows like Scotland

      Ireland aren't all that from my viewing of their last few games. Scots were about as headless as you get overnight. They struggled to put away a 14-man England, and were rubbish against Italy despite the overwhelming advantage they had in numbers.

      France took them apart, and Wales were poo in that game.

      They’re good against Australia though

      Ireland are ambitious, and do play with width. They just have shit outside backs who really struggle to turn opportunities in to points

      And Sexton is still teh biggest fluffybunny in world rugby

      @steven-harris interesting comment because it aligns with what I think of the refs. I can mostly follow Gardner and Barnes rulings and processes. Others less so.

      Ronan O'Gara on Irish podcast suggested that AB's defence was outdated -- prime example of why 'manwatching' is no longer used in North is the extraordinary number of times ABs were sucked in by the decoy runners.

      Really enjoyed this match. Fickou on the wing didn’t go too bad. Looks like he’s put on a bit of muscle.

      French halfback Dupont was superb.

      French attack was well organised with lots of ball runners and support players in motion.

      And Edwards has given them steel

      I'm far from sober, but a 15-minute -20C walk home certainly clears the mind

      Ireland by far the better team

      AND despite their dominance there was a 10-minute period in the second half where we should have been 19-12 down but a man up

      And who knows how things would have transpired then

      @Billy-Tell well yeah, if your foot is on the line, you're outside the field of play right?

      In touch and field of play are separate concepts. You can have one part of your body in the field of play and still be in touch. Howver if you are required to be outside the field of play then no part of your body can be inside the field of play. That's why they use separate terminology.

      IRFU and NZRU could develop this whole event further into a regular Series each year or second year depending on schedule. As two of the smaller unions, cooperation on a number of fronts could be very beneficial to both.
