Bullshit that was a try, "double movement" was due to the other players joining.

He was short with men right in front of him, the drive over left the ball position unclear. No try, 5m scrum imo

That was a poo poo pass to Ford

Yeah, that's high, not sure it's a yellow high.

He is about 6 inches taller than him.

Maybe not individually but they combined to make it an easy yellow

I thought cynical play that stops a team scoring should be a penalty try no?

Hardly ever; I've only seen that happen when it is literally the only thing that would stop a try being scored.

Penalty try is for infringement preventing a certain try, cards are for cynical fouls.

The test is that you imagine the offending player wasn't there and then consider whether a try would definitely have been scored. In that case there were plenty of England players around so a score would probably not have happened even without Care being on the pitch.

I think we just got a match's worth of lucky penalties at exactly the right time.

England played pretty well and the Irish did a good job of not conceding more in the first half. Pretty scrappy but far from the worst game of the 6N so far.

How Brown was still on the pitch after kicking Murray in the head and shoulders multiple times is a mystery. The back swing was accidental but then he went in for two more that absolutely weren't.

He should get a long spell on the sidelines for this. Filthy as gently caress.

Because he'll probably say "oh, I was going for the ball." Problem for him here is that he was literally looking at Murray as he was kicking him.

I think it's fair to say he was going for the ball, but he was being incredibly reckless and "was" kicking the Irish chap in the face despite his intentions.

Please love me
I think that's the correct reading of the laws: that even IF he was going for the ball that as he DID hit the guys head and was reckless as to that eventuality occurring then he should be done for foul play.

As to whether he will be... Who knows.

Nowt wrong with that for me. If he wasn't an England player it wouldn't even be being discussed here. Viva Mike Brown.

I hate Mike Brown but I love a bit of shoe pie being given in the ruck.

The kicks to the face were in a backwards motion, so I reckon he's fine. Fucker was holding on to the ball on the ground, give him a dunt.

Someone on another for I said that as the ref took action against him at the time he can't be cited. Not sure if that's true or not. It was a football forum and usually get rugby stuff arse about so no idea how true that is,

I too, like to see people infringing getting the rough end of the boot....but you clearly don't kick people in the face/head.
