Pape is a nasty cheap shot merchant.

Massive legs and Arse. Also highly intelligent and a scientist to boot so probably has an understanding of levers.

It shouldn't be two, but the citing system is a nonsense and is open to all sorts of accusations of bias. Make all the deliberations open to the public so we can all see how the process works. Wrong for an Australian to be citing Scottish players ahead of a QF between the two nations.

It does not look good, no matter how objective people pretend to be. Just being cited throws a player/ team into doubt and confusion. Even if they get off, which no one seems to anymore, it will be a handicap to Scotland. It isn't transparent or fair regardless of the fore shortened video...

Which is illegal.

If it was a Scot citing two Aussie players this place would go into meltdown.

Doyle is an English ref. He is not very good, nor is Clancy but Lacey is not a bad ref. Certainly sits comfortable compared to any Australian ref. But you have such a hang up about anything Irish I am probably wasting my time even bothering engaging with you.

Rumour is we have got Poite. He is a maniac but, at least, he is a maniac we sort of understand. Even Clouseau is better than Barnes.

Aussie citing commissioner citing two Scottish players the week before a QF between Scotland and Australia doesn't look great. Won't affect the result in a month of Sundays because Scotland are rubbish but it doesn't inspire confidence.

Bosch could be a big loss for them as well. I think we can handle Seanie being gone for this but, IF we make it through to the semi final Seanie will be vital to counter the Poopers.

Open hand or not is a red herring. Praying for a week.

In an effort to communicate good Karma for Seanie's hearing I am not going to publicly say what I think of Pape. Hopefully just a week for Seanie and the lads can get him through to the semi final. Delighted Ruddock is fit to be called up, POM is a massive loss but Ruddock has power to burn...

Not yet Seanie hasn't. Still a few hours to go I would say.

Paulie hamstring torn off the bone, POM gone as well apparently. Fuck it anyway.

TOD will be lucky to play before Christmas. Ruddock was involved for Leinster last weekend but would hardly be 100% match fit. I would think Paulie is gone, but they will wait on the SOB situation before making a call up. If SOB gets a week, which is best case scenario, I think it will be Tuohy...

That is a sevens job, push it right to the limit of the refs interpretation. Silly loss of control hitting Pape and, hopefully, it will only be a week if he smiles and says the right things, but SOB was pretty damn good yesterday.

Even if your opinion was correct it would still not justify being "hopeful" that three lads are injured and will miss games. Seanie was rash, and will deserve a short ban but, I can guarantee with Pape that there will have been provocation. But taking any joy in a great player like Paul...

If it turned into a scrum fest that would help France but under the roof that won't happen. Can't see anything other than a NZ win.

Ireland were up with Australia this weekend in terms of expansiveness. I should think the stats will back me up on that. At the end of the day, as Aussie showed so bravely yesterday, rugby is not fucking basketball and a team is perfectly entitled to defend and play for field position via the...

I did but thank you anyway, he is an absolute Rolls Royce of a player, always seems to be cruising with not a bead of sweat on him, good looking, intelligent, bastard!?!? Bit of talk on MF that Sexton might actually have been concussed but can't see it myself.
