What the actual Fvck!

Feck me, it looks like world rugby reads Pie and Bovril (or dare I say it… ME!) more importantly they are coming round to my way of thinking…. Which is nice! 20 min red card option Less TMO clocks on set pieces Once they’ve sorted out number of subs, enforce straight feeds and a bit of rucking, we’ll be hunky-dory! Yours, aDONis Self appointed Emperor of rugby

All joking aside, we are now finding more and more food-stuffs coming into the Uk that have used all sorts of banned products (some of which are even carcinogenic)! Taking back control through SOV-REN-TEE!

Add the current Sir Kier's 'Tory-light' Labour Party to those sentiments and you're bang-on.

Luke Pearce showed common sense at White Hart Lane today. Very, similar collision between Care and van Zyl, to that of Steward and Keenan. Penalty only, which was about right (Although I might have issued a yellow). Decent game after that. Sarries looking formidable, unfortunately!

Terrible decision rightfully overturned. Unfortunately, it's too fvkkin' late. England were up against it before Peyper completely fvkked it for them. Game was a complete bogey after that, a complete waste of everyones time. Rugby needs to buck it's ideas up, it's becoming Amercian football by the back-door. There are too many subs; Players need to lose some bulk and be able to play for 80 minutes. The TMO needs to be less involved. If a referee misses a forward pass or a little knock on 4, 5, 6 + phases back, then play on. It should only get involved when the ref asks or if there is serious foul play. Straight feeds at the scrum! More 10m penalties for chat. It grinds my gears that there are so many appeals for cards etc. Speed the game up. One reset then straight arm at the scrum (you take your chances), kick clock time to be reduced, stop the waterboy nonsense it's delaying restarts, clocks for lineouts from time ball goes out to throw in, stop the caterpillar for box kicks. Allow a bit of rucking (not round the head), but if a hand is in the ruck slowing the ball, then it needs a scrape. Yours aDONis

At long last somebody in the media has said it; https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/65006193 I don't know why the law isn't made more like the tackle in the air, giving the ref's a little bit more discretion. I also think there is a strong argument for an 'orange' card. I think reds should be for cynical foul play, swinging arms, shoulder barges, and oranges/yellows for accidentals (face on face or as in Stewards case, bottling a challenge and having the attacker run head-on into him) depending on how the ref sees it. Whilst I'm on my high-horse, no word yet on ringrose being sent to (the lamentally laugahable) 'tackle school' for his terrible technique when tackling Kinghorn. It's almost like they invented it for reasons other than improving tackle technique! Yours aDONis

I'd argue that Keenan ran into Steward probably more than Steward using force on Keenan. Whether someone comes off worse is not the point. We don't penalise the runner when the defender puts their head in the spokes, even though the outcome often has consequences. Rugby incident may be slightly ambiguous, but it is a contact sport.

I agree. Williams got penalised when Sexton ran head first into him from about a foot. It’s absolute fvkkin arse!

I agree the ref had no option, but the law is shit!

That is where we should have a 20 min red.

The tackle laws are absolute horse-shit!

I don't get all the doom and gloom. Ireland are an exceptional team at the moment. They are an absolute force up front, imagine being able to replace Doris with Conan, it's terrifying. I watched France simply blast England off the ball, time and again. We gave both of them a proper game. Third best in the six nations is probably about right, but bear in mind that, that's behind what I believe to be the two best teams in the world. We are at a point where no-one can take us lightly, and we haven't been able to say that for a long, long time! I love this squad, and yesterday has only shown, that we need to improve, not re-build. Yours aDONis

Mike Adamson is gash, one of the weakest refs out there. Almost bad enough to be a French ref.

I give you Donald, trump, not only the Cvnts' - cvnt, but unbelievably petty with it.

That is a good article on it, but my problem was that Biggar was standing relatively still. It was probably muddied by the fact it was a reverse pass, so the ball comes out of the back of his hand, but his hands are moving forwards. Highlight for me was probably watching Duhan tear-up, about what Scotland means to him. I almost blubbed!

Am I the only one that thinks Biggers pass to Dyer for the butchered try just before half-time, was forward? Nobodies mentioned it but I'm convinced it was.

Adams tackle is a red herring. He tries to tackle it's nowhere near the head, play on. Yellow the correct call for Turner, but how the fvk is North back on.

I've been in the same pub as Martin Johnson, you cannot believe how big he is! Honestly, he's built like Herman Munster. Head the size of a Jersey cow, hands like snow shovels, just a huge man with obvious agricultural power. I remember meeting Al Kellock and thinking he was a big unit (much bigger than he looked on the telly) but nothing like Johnson.

Ireland just don't make mistakes. It's just a physical onslaught from minute one till the end. They're showing why they're number one in the world. France simply out-muscled and out-worked.

Imagine being able to replace Beirgne (sp) with Henderson! Simply ridiculous!

Also the Irish pundits can f**k right off! Ireland weren’t brave going for the try. They were in prime field position v 14.

Good game, I thought Barnes used the Johnny Wilkinson v Scotland video refereeing, but if I’m honest the benefit of the doubt should have gone to Lowe for an astonishing effort. Dorris has been immense and first receiver at the breakaway was unbelievable.

I thought Barnes got that just about right.
