Watching the highlights now. Shocking decision once again. Surely they could have given a yellow before making a final decision. This is a shocking call by the referee.
My undies are safe. Despite the TMOs best efforts.
Who need 15 to win a rugby game?
Who needs glasses?
One of those games. Ja nee.
Contrary to popular belief, Pollard isnt winding down the shot clock. He’s waiting for the TMO to have a look for a reason to get involved.
Take the game away from the officials. Simple.
Tell the TMO to stop listening to the Italian commentary and to watch the game at hand.
The WORST REFEREES I have ever encountered with the RSA/Italy game.
Does anyone know what’s yellow and what’s red? I don’t.
Upright. High. No wrap. Always illegal. No mitigation.
Yellow card.
Fully expect the tmo to come in before the second half kicks off to review something that happened during the break.
Was it Juventus who bribed referees?
🤷🏼♂️
Ita won last week ita have a great chance ollie 🇮🇪
I suspect breakdown infringements, penalties and set piece dominance (and more penalties) will be theme for the first 40.
These wildly different kick off times are messing with my biological clock.
I can only imagine some bodies need a rest after that game against France. But there must also be some continuity required in some positions to keep players sharp for Ireland.
And give some players a run.

Past scores 42-24 and 45-0 really do set the stage for this third match between both sides. Perhaps Italy is riding high off the win against Australia, but no doubt SA is soaring even higher after dismantling the French.
Agreed.
Italy by 1 point.
