The arrogance of football clearly shows they’ve never been to a rugby union or rugby league game to see how they use the Video Ref. They need to!Can we get these rugby VAR guys transferred to football ?

Barnes has that right, I think - the tackle was clearly aimed at the shoulder and then there is followthrough from both players' momentum.
ITV commentators continue to be awful - Harrison adds no technical input but instead is a shouting cheerleading waste of space.

The French are loud and clear in that stadium. When France scored their try earlier I’d only just switched over from the footy and I thought it was a France home game.

That stand at that end at the Aviva is pathetic isn’t it?

The transparent one?
I assume it's because of the shape of land available and not being able to extend further.

It may have been that the drive forward also took him into the face as a consequence but not badly - the whiplash was more showy. Mostly it looked like first contact clearly chest to shoulder than shoulder to head, and secondary contact makes it yellow - the yellow is almost automatic nowadays, and I think the big guys have just accepted that they're going to get done occasionally.

Dupont clamping the winger was amusing as it took the winger a while to work out that he was going nowhere.
