Etzebeth is looking directly at his opponent. He has a thumb in his opponent’s eye socket & is continuing to press into the socket. Frankly, I’m uncertain whether this matter should even end with a long playing ban. This was a violent, potentially career ending assault & needs investigating as such.

I won’t comment on the non-card. Simply because it was quite frankly as ridiculous as it was shocking - and it absolutely does not improve one bit on re-watch. However, headed into a 6N it’s interesting watching Leinster/Ireland become teams with a very real penalty problem:

Honestly, Rory has a look that would worry most sane observers.

A frankly remarkable moment in Bath vs Bristol, with the Bears Hooker not only dummying his lineout throw, but also then throwing while a full stride onto the field of play. It led to a try first phase. Officiating in the professional game is so far from the level it needs to be.

Just to confirm. Is that the same Wales that lost 18 in a row and are currently ranked beneath Georgia? Presumably, they’re ‘scared’ in the same way a Shark or a Lion is ‘scared’ of the prey they’re about to muller in a bloody frenzy?

Posting this 24hrs before a Test Match vs an Aussie side with their tails up, and about a player still struggling to deliver on early promise, was quite the gamble!

If this backfires, and for example Beirne & Curry get exposed because their tanks are empty, or Aki’s lack of pace & mobility targeted heavily, will questions be asked of Farrell or will it all be glossed over because ‘series victory’?

Another Ireland supporter’s take, this time on Huw Jones.

Didn’t even need to lose - and for some weird reason it’s mostly Ireland supporters too.
