I don't like it. Should be a 5m attacking free.

I think it’s also to encourage attacking teams to go wide instead of just hammering away either side of the ruck over and overAtlas wrote:Ah I see.Dave Cahill wrote:Its to reduce the amount of time lost to scrums - i can see world rugby getting rid of all non-knock on tries in the medium term

Ross is playing like a quarterback with broken ribs. He should be very proud of his effort.hugonaut wrote: ↑May 14th, 2021, 10:18 pmFerocious game. That was better than they have played against us in a number of seasons. Really enjoyed it ... apart from Toland's commentary which was the usual brand of faux-profound sh*te. Such a tool.Dave Cahill wrote: ↑May 14th, 2021, 10:10 pmAgreed, that was a performance born, to a certain extent, out of embarrasment at recent efforts.
The intensity was absolutely top notch
They forced a good few errors out of us and we made some of our own. Apart from Josh van der Flier, who makes no mistakes and cleans up after everybody else – what a player he is for us. Great to see Caelan Doris back out on the pitch, and very good to see Tommy getting a good run.
Fair play to Ross for getting through that match, he's obviously playing hurt. Good to see him bite down on the gumshield and get on with it.

At least the 3 weeks break will give us a chance to fix a couple of our out-halves. I thing we've only a half an OH left (or whatever percentage of Ross is fit)

A hat-tip to Bradley Roberts for that 'tache-mullet combo. Superb effort.
Look out Itchy, he's Irish

remember thinking that was odd too.
Was it lost forward? i.e. instead of a 5 yard scrum for defending team they get a goal line drop out.

Nope. It's a bit like a "use it or lose it" philosophy. If you just pick and jam you run a risk.MylesNaGapoleen wrote:remember thinking that was odd too.

Having said that, you do receive the ball so you're back attacking.

I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

Thought the attitudes towards the refs in both today’s games was interesting.
Very open and expressive disagreement with decisions. Stander post match, Madigan and whoever on our team.

Not much point having props then if there’s no scrums. I think it’s an important part of the game. And I agree it does seem like you’re punishing the attacking side going for a tryDave Cahill wrote: ↑May 14th, 2021, 10:26 pmIts to reduce the amount of time lost to scrums - i can see world rugby getting rid of all non-knock on tries in the medium term

Last night was a good demonstration why New Laws in rugby need to be trialled. This one has failed the 'trial'.
Re: Leinster v. Ulster, Rainbow Cup, Fri 14 May, 20.15hrs
The worst example of it punishing the defending team was in the Munster match. Murray box kicked into the in goal area. Connacht tapped it down and had a kick out on the try line and not the 22.Ruckedtobits wrote: ↑May 15th, 2021, 8:51 amLock9541 wrote: ↑May 15th, 2021, 1:08 amNot much point having props then if there’s no scrums.

So after kicking the ball away Munster received the ball 22 meters closer to the try line. Just doesn't seem right to me.

Great to see Caelen Doris, JOB & TOB back onto the pitch.
Thought Doris started slowly but grew into it.
JOB's left boot is a serious weapon. His penalty to the corner before HT was incredible.
TOB really looks 'to the manor born' though. Can't waitt to see him at a higher level. He has a mix of elusiveness, size and pace and just looks comfortable in many positions.
Between him & Osborne we are very well stocked at centre. Turner too. Would imagine at least one of those will be looked at as an outside back.

Would agree on Larmour btw, his accuracy at times is poor. Very sloppy.
I really wish someone would just shake him at times.

Anyone hear Lowe on the sideline by the way? Think Ferris mentioned it in commentary at the end. Non f%~king stop!

Was it him just shouting whoooo everytime anyone made a tackle? Bit annoying.

Yeah agree, the ref was getting really annoyed with the constant chat today. That time the ref told one of our lot to shut up, he should have just pinged us. As close to soccer as ive seen it.
If you ask me, the captains challenge seems to just give the captain an opportunity to argue with the ref relentlessly. Get rid of it.
