Cane's shoulder hit his head. How is that not a high tackle?
Exactly, bias on here is ridiculous at times

Irish Commentary gets 5 Phil Kearns out of five Cantabrians for one-eyedness.
They have gone to the Steve Walsh school of watching only one side. Absolutely no mention of the high shot on BB as he scored, no acknowledgement that Cane had a head clash or that Cane was later smacked in the face at a ruck. Every marginal move by the ABs is worth a yellow card.

Well Jack O'Piper doing his best to keep Ireland in the game.
Obviously influenced by the Paddy skipper whinging about "in from the side" compounded by the need for a make up call on the BB try in the Smith YC. Crap call. Ball was out.
Similarly crap call on Cane. Tackle wS 100% legit. Turnover was too. O'Piper penalised the t/o then had to stick eith the pen despite all evidence to the contrary.
Wouldn't mind seeing some kicks in behind them.
Ireland generally holding the ball well though so we don't have much posession.
Our D generally good.

HT ABs lead 14-6, Irish are fucking whingers (commentators, fans, players [Rory Best]). ABs look good with ball in hand but need to hold possession a bit more. Ireland growing more and more unlikable.

Tawera Kerr Barlow is on special comments for Radio Sport and is cheerleading less than the Irish Comms.

Good argument for a PT on the deliberate knock on by Trimble
The attempted intercept? I thought that was a good ref's call

I think right call. But I've seen them given in exactly that situation.

@Canerbry said in Ireland II:
Aaron Smith is a liability. Needs to be pulled now.
He sems to have a shorter fuse than usual

Unfortunately A. Smith useless at breakdown if ball not on a platter. -

Agree but think it was a genuine attempt rather than a deliberate spoiler.
There was a definite deliberate knock on later from an Irish player reaching one handed for a high ball -

Ireland have 3 replacements already , us 1 ,
Could be crucial later with the pace of the game@kiwiinmelb said in Ireland II:

How was Smith's card even a penalty? Ball was out, he was onside and came right through the middle with no hands.
Yet Savea gets tackled and Best gets a turnover with help from his players on the ground, Whitelock gets a turnover and it's scrum Ireland. Righto...
