1. You were not the only one who knows the Law - you were the only one who quoted the Law. The two are different.
2. I have never written "rules" with respect to rugby. Please show me where I so did. I have passed several exams on the Laws. Can you match that?
3. You suggested that Kearney should not have been penalized for his shoulder charge on Elsom because such an act is legal in GAA - and I don't give a stuff whether that august body applies rules or laws or has neither.

Wrong. Read that thread. I said Kearney should have been penalised. I said I was interesting he reverted to GAA under pressure.
Now, if you're just going to ignore what people actually say in favour of shit-stirring, and won't even let it lie when given the out, well, it's a fair yardstick.

Yeah, you conceded a little.
Checked up on the law on this. It's illegal to make contact unless you try to use your arms. Note, try. Debatable whether or not he does. On balance, I'd reckon a penalty, but no more.
However, I completely disagree with your reckoning. Deliberate foul on a ball carrier five metres from the goal line is absolutely deserving of a penalty try and a yellow.
If your reckoning is correct, Australia should have been awarded a penalty on halfway after the conversion?
And none of this changes the fact that ye blew a game ye had sewn up, even after we were th Still, how 'bout that silky NH backplay that meant you were under the cosh for the last ten...?
I thought that the derided and despised chumps of the 3N had earned a draw against the Champions of All Europe in their own backyard?

Interestingly, the Ireland Defence coach doesn't seem to go with your point T78:

Deans doesn't openly go out of his way to criticize the ref's though. He's very diplomatic and likely isn't letting that shoulder charge get in the way of how horrible our line-outs and kicks were.

Bring back Dr. Roger Vanderfield I say - I don't care how old he may be he would still have to be a better option.
Thyat man truly had the respect of everyone - players, spectators and officials never a discouraging word said about him.

:'( :'( :'( I wasn't aware. he was a very very good ref and always had time to ref school games during the week.
We had the pleasure of him and Warwick Cooney and Roger was by far the best ref in Aus and probably the world for a long time - Cooney - what can you say - precurser to Kaplan and Jubert.
