So…….do I have this right?
Ireland have 4 wins.
Everyone else has less than 4 wins.
And Ireland are Champions.
And that's OK?
Maybe a leading publication out there can help me….

And the Oscar for best way to make this into a rugby tweet goes to...
Ben Whitehouse; Ok what I’m seeing, Chris leaned forward, contact was to base of cheek, hand open, minimal to medium force. Both players stayed on feet, just a penalty for me, all agreed?

Can't get over some of the bonehead comments in this thread. The guy did something he didn't have to do. It was a good thing. Someone else recorded it and shared. To take the time to find a negative in any of the above is saying more about you than Kolbe or BT Sport.

Just to clarify...IMO there's nothing wrong with fans going on social media and expressing their disappointment. The problem is the morons who target players with abuse using @ mentions. They are not fans, at least not ones of anything that's good.

Def won't be a popular opinion but while I love a pint, I don't when I'm in the stands watching rugby. Before & after sure, maybe a sneaky 1 or 2 at HT, but when the match is on I crave the illusion that my waving arms and other remonstrations will somehow help my team😜

I don't care if Adams held up a sign saying "I'm pretending to be injured" the only thing we should be talking about here "creeping into the game" is the challenge.
Josh Adams holding his head after the Steward hit is pure gamesmanship! Too much of this creeping into the game to try and get players sent off

Why oh why oh why are we obsessed with where the selected players came from? Not just fans at it either, media doing it too. Province. Country of birth. Even schools being broken down on my timeline.

This is the damning angle. You see that Neti instigated it, he did it twice, and VDF goes down the second time. And there are afters. The replays make it seem like VDF is only hit once, and makes the "dive" seem worse.

I said at HT LAR only took what we gave them, then after the break we gave them NOTHING. Super display, great tries but don't forget the D - over 2 matches we've restricted the champions to ONE. TRY. We earned our home adv and used it. Now to make Croker our home.

7 tries away to Prem leaders is of course amazing but I can't help but focus on just the one try conceded despite them throwing the kitchen sink at us. Our 22 was where their linebreaks went to die - outstanding organisation with JVDF leading the way.

Normally a result like this brings a chorus of "what was the point" etc etc but I doubt you'll see a Leinster fan even close to thinking that. We needed every minute of that match, and every one of those points. Not perfect but still what was needed. Onwards we go.

a) The URC seriously screwed up with that social post and should accept responsibility rather than blame a 3rd party.
b) The URC as a league is good and has the potential to get better with full support from all unions & fans.
Both can be true IMO.

You shouldn't ask a test coach about a pending hearing involving any player from upcoming opponents anytime IMO.
And that "shouldn't" gets quadrupled when that player is also the coach's son.

Cannot fathom the disbelief over Carbery kicking it dead. We couldn't score from deep in their 22, how the hell were we going to go the length of the pitch for the chance of one extra MP? Only surprise was that he went for any distance.
