Ireland NZ Tour 2022

[tragic]

Ireland looked better 15 v 15

 

[Dctarget]

Do the ABs have to lose another player because they caused the uncontested scrums?

Nighty night Ardie...

 

[dru]

ABs need to pick up here. Rabbits in the headlights.

I was absolutely screaming at my TV when Ross came on for an uncontested scrum and they took Savea off. NZ manager cheating again.

Can you explain that? What’s going on?

Not cheating, but it didn't take long to work against them.

It's pretty simple. When a prop gets carded, you're allowed to bring on a replacement prop to complete the scrums and drop someone else off.

Now both TH props were off the field and a scrum was called. NZ manager decided to bring Ross on (a LH). He's allowed to scrum at TH if he wants to but he didn't so they called uncontested scrums.

Basically, Ross comes on and Savea went off. A normal substitute. Can't be reversed.

It wasn't a prop replacement for a card.

It's going to end up another card here.

edit, no a try

Okay so they tried to bring Savea back on but unsuccessfully yes?

also wasn’t there some rule if you cause uncontested scrums then you lose a player?

 

[zer0]

lmao.

That is all.

 

[Lightblue]

How many penalties can this ref give?

That's a decent question.

Possibly the most bizarre 40 minutes of Test match rugby football I've ever seen.

Yes.

For the second point, that occurs when you bring on a non-prop injury replacement that causes uncontested scrums. It's so teams don't field an unfair team, 1 prop v 2 props etc.

So if Taa'vao is red carded. Then Ofa gets injured, you replace him with Sowakula, that causes uncontested (no TH props available) but NZ would need to drop another player.

I believe NZ should've gone down to 12 actually. Injury or cards.

 

[swingpass]

Chaos

 

[Lightblue]

Will we see the ref feel sorry for the ABs after giving them a red card as Eddie Jones mentioned in his post match loss last week?

 

[zer0]

Also Dismal's army of Pitcairn basement gifers needs that capture of Sexton breaking down into tears after Barrett scored.

 

[Equalizer]

How many penalties can this ref give?

He's going for the record.

He's going for the record.

He is !!
