Another match ruined by a s

Jesus! Can people stop sprouting such utter bloody nonsense just because there's been a card???t red card decision. We've just had a decent tussle, Ireland have had to fight hard for the win, and it's not the card that made the difference, it was just Ireland's ability to finish their relatively few opportunities more clinically.
Whining about cards is just disrespectful to the players on both sides and the effort they put in.
As for the card itself, if Steward had enough time to turn away like that, then he had enough time to dip and tackle. His fault, end of.

Why are we not allowed oh mighty one? It totally changed the game, he was bracing for impact. Well played both sides!

And the ball carrier has enough time to change direction and avoid contact altogether.

Gritty, as I knew it would be. Brilliant to have the GS in the bag, and sets us up well for the World Cup. The first time in a long while where we’re peaking at the right time, plus we’re showing the consistency that probably rightly has us ranked number 1 right now.
France are probably still my pick for RWC, but we should hopefully have a good run
A final word on Sexton. He has many critics, and there have been more talented players over the years (Drico, Geordan Murphy, Tony Ward, Gibson by many accounts), but for me Sexton epitomises everything that makes Ireland a great international side now. Talent, focus, fearless, tough. He’s the greatest Irish player ever IMO
