Mark Connolly Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Really stupid from Porter. Wales making an arse of that opportunity though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Wales finally get a try but cough up a scrum penalty to put pressure back on. Very Scotland-like... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

come on shire Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Wales get an obstruction penalty and now in Ireland's 22. Will Ireland Hibs this today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 What’s everyone making of the new rules? The kicked clearance for a held up try attempt seems unfair on the attacking team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I wonder if Ireland will get the try bonus point. They seem happy to take the foot off the gas now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with your sentiment but I think it's designed to reward good line defence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kicked clearance for a held up try attempt seems unfair on the attacking team. I don't think that aspect of it works. I'd adjust the whole law so that it is just attacking kicks from within 40 (or maybe even the 22) which result in the goal line drop out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

come on shire Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 That beautiful cross field kick from Ireland just about let Rio Dyer in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Williams was shattered after that 20 yard run. 50/20 is still in action. Has to bounce, so you can't just hoof it straight out from your own 22 with the wind behind, and can't be carried back into your half to do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a guaranteed line break based on where the two defenders in behind were. It definitely wasn't a penalty try 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
