What a ball from Marmion

joseywhales

Is Rob Kearney our greatest player ever?

Clegg

That's a yellow

dublinman1990

Ouch. That was a right clash of bodies there. Kearney is down because of it.

Euphoriasean

Yellow at least

ScrubsfanChris

Lucky if it's not yellow

Kiith

Lucky if that's not a yellow.

Considering the directives and what we've seen this season, it's a stone wall yellow.

I can't stand the inconsistency.

Barnes absolutely covering himself in sh#t in last 2 min. regards breakdown.

No it's not, Kearney's watching the ball all the time.

vienne86

Only a penalty. Looked bad.

mangobob

Is it a yellow if Kearney has his eyes on the ball the whole time?

Hurrache

That young Kearney is having a great game.

That's has nothing to do with it.

Clegg

Ok no yellow. But we've not took our chances when we should've.

Still think it's New Zealand's to lose

Thats a clear yellow, he took him out mid air.

Phew got the rub of the green twice there - one from what should have been a yellow and second from that knock-on.

dublinman1990

Knocked forward by NZ.

He obviously doesn't have a yellow card in his pocket as he showed in the first half.

Skid X

Never forward

Squidgy Black

Jesus that's nowhere near forward.

Clegg

That's never forward?

Lucy8080

Forward? Really?

vienne86

Forward pass?????? didn't look it.

Kanrith

Not even close to being forward

dublinman1990

Forward from Stockdale? Wtf ref?

It is, but new Zealand could have had 3 by now easily. Seatbelt tackle and deliberate obstruction twice too.


Fully expected Barnes to be card happy in this half for innocuous things.

fitz

Unless the laws of physics have changed in the last ten minutes, there's no way that was forward.

mangobob

Thats not forward. No way.

Necro

Forward? Fcuk off.

Euphoriasean

Horrendous call

MadYaker

Barnes strikes again

A-Train

No effort to roll away there

Barnes is a cheat. New Zealand players have figured out that if you look at him with a surprised expression he won't make the call.

That's a terrible call, no where near forward.

Tell us all how?

vienne86

McGrath on for Marmion. Good.

Squidgy Black

NZ have unloaded their bench fairly early, unusual for them.

Chavways

Barnes is riding us without a saddle. Barrett was having a cup of tea at the back of the ruck there for 20 seconds and got away with it.

whiskeyman

Don't think I've ever seen the ABs make so many errors in 1 game.
We have to take this!!

I just can't understand some of these calls from Barnes. Barrett never even tried to roll away and he calls it as slow ball, Wtf?

Former Former

Rob Kearney not looking comfortable, hamstring again maybe

SEPT 23 1989

That's some ****ing scoreline

dublinman1990

That call from Barnes was a skewed one alright. I've never understood why that was forward.

Luke McGrath now on with Marmion going off.
