4 weeks also seems extremely lenient, Jegou knew exactly what he was doing and went for the eyes twice.

Well they didnโ€™t dodge it like I thought they might, but 4 week ban for foul play that everyone but the ref and tmo apparently saw, essentially keeping France in the driver seat for a championship. Pretty poor standards all in all.

Will not be surprised if Jegou gets away with it because they donโ€™t want to admit the refereeing errors and procedural error of not reviewing in match foul play has had a direct impact on who wins the tournament. Could directly effect both Ireland and Scotland depending on Saturday results.

Does it count juggling passes? Could that be like 4 touches/pass?

You know when youโ€™re grabbing a face not a ball in a maul even without looking. I donno what mitigation can be found here. Main question is how on earth was it not picked up in the game. A few friends said they saw it live on tv and thought it was obvious.

Goes in twice, at least.

Between the Darcy one last week, Carre on Friday, and this yesterday, spoiled for choice.

Yeah, but we all know Scotland lose if they try to play power game against most other tier 1 teams. I think itโ€™s more about the hard-track too. Next week will certainly prove progress if they can get the win, but I think yesterday showed a lot.

You gotta feel for the away teams at Murrayfield having to use the away locker room. Big takeaway today ๐Ÿ˜‰

Mateโ€”one if the best sporting experiences of my life. I think we had about 11 forwards on the pitch by the end but what a bloody day! ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ ๐ŸŽ‰

Weโ€™re packing it in when Finn is doneโ€”weโ€™re retiring #1-23 and hanging them up in Murrayfield.

Saw that too was very harsh and gave wales 3 pts.

This is on the players, though. Theyโ€™re getting bullied and making terrible unforced errors. White has had a horror show, slow playing the ruck has cost two tries.

100% how is he still on the pitch? So obviousโ€”heโ€™s dropped about 4 balls.

This is Italy all over, getting bullied.

14 pt swing. No composure.

One of the worst decisions Iโ€™ve seen Ben White make.
