Fair yeah, I think an unconscious level of bias just comes out depending on the station and commentary, it was pretty bias at timez on RTE (Irish tv) not gonna lie but I often feel the same on BBC towards England's games so it's kinda understandable..your national station/pundits/commentators are gonna lean towards their nation

[@matmul4850]

There was a question though that slade was offside thats why it went to the tmo. There was no question asked about Healeys try from the officials, same for Cooneys try, so why should the guy commentating on this video bring it up. If he did then it would just be his opinion and therefore very biased. He commentated on the events of the game and thats it. The video was not biased in the slightist.

I like to watch the game and have it analyzed rather than coming at everything from 'us and them'.

[@hc9870]

So, after the complete shithouse refereeing in this game, here's some points I noticed that could have swung the momentum. 1) Cian Healey's try could've been held up. It looked like George got his hand under it before being put down. 2) Vunipola's try should've stood. He wasn't stopped, and merely ground his face and body with the ball over the line, not overly different from how a winger would dive before the line then slide over, albeit much, much, slower. 3) Itoje was lucky to stay on the field. This is probably the most contentious, as he had eyes on the ball, jumped first, but he was some distance away from where the ball landed. Could've gone either way, as it was a 50/50 and physics dictates that Earls loses that battle 9/10. If we're being pedantic, Murray should've had a penalty against him fro clear and obvious blocking on May in the build up, but Itoje was still lucky. 4) Henry Slade's pass to May was forward. From where he throws it, and to where May catches it, the ball has travelled forwards. He was onside, just, from May's kick, but surprised Garces didn't go back and check that. 5) Theres a clip on twitter of a Tuilagi dangerous clear out on Stockdale. Doesn't look to be an attempt at any arms made, and could be viewed by some to have used excessive force. However it is worth noting that Stockdale was in their illegally, not part of the ruck, making no effort to compete. Still, if Tuilagi had been binned as well, who knows.

[@shaunadams2121]

@@hc9870 Yes, every other point is fine. But according to the Laws, the ball has to be passed backwards out of the hands. However, due to inertia and the relative momentum, the physics will carry the ball forward without the pass actually being forward. Excellent pass and fair try.

As an England fan watching this of course it was wonderful, in a truly and deeply satisfying way. But I have to tell you this: it is more wonderful because it was against the Irish. A very good side - but from a culture whose instinctive resentment and derision of England always seems so insecure and pathetic, so rooted in misinformation and a victim complex that they perpetuate. And because rugby was really their only outlet for this - as well as being snide about the English in pubs and offices while in England living here as economic migrants - to beat them at home in front of their own fans who complacently drank in the stands at kick off, and to beat them in a manner that was nothing short of a physical and emotional humiliation (sexton could barely pass by the end; look at the way o'mahony weeps; a 5-0 points victory away) - it all just felt simply amazing.

I don't usually comment about the ref decisions because the respect around it is what makes rugby such a beautiful sport but come on, a damn yellow gard? Are the english the new All Blacks?

I don't even understand how did it not create a scandal. That was purely outrageous. Could have changed the match, even if the english team was astonishing after it.

He didn't hit his throat, he clearly hit his chest. A late tackle on the chest is never a red card. It's questionable if it was even a yellow as it wasn't that late.

[@jessran70]

England merited the win but that Slade pass was at last 2 yards forward. Garces went to TMO for offside (it looked level) but then didn't look at that pass? Bad decision on what was the most important score of the game.

[@ragerancher]

Except the pass was backwards. A forward pass is determined by the direction the passer passed the ball relative to the direction of play and not relative to the ground. Eg a player running forwards at 15 mph who throws the ball over his head at 7mph will still result in the ball travelling forwards at 8mph. Quite clearly throwing the ball over your head behind you is not a forward pass so that's how the law stands.

Ireland were lucky this wasn't 44-13 to England. No excuses here. Go watch the Off the Ball podcast if you wanna have a laugh. They a bunch of twats. Past month they been mouthing off at England and Eddie Jones, those videos are pathetic, and now after the match, they going on about how It was an extremely close game and Ireland lost because of the ref's calls. I see a lot of Irish fans like that as well.

3rd England try is a forward pass , 3m12s , its was so obvious that is ridiculous .

[@feliscorax]

What is so obvious that it's ridiculous is that you don't understand the laws of rugby or the laws of physics.

[@luisguerreiro71]

@@feliscorax of course you don't

[@feliscorax]

@@luisguerreiro71 Well, actually, I do. According to the Laws of Rugby, the ball has to be passed backwards out of the attacking player's hands. However, due to the player's inertia and the relative forward momentum this gives the ball, the physics will carry the ball forward without the pass actually being forward. It was an excellent pass and fair try, and although Garçes did make some interesting decisions in this game, he got that call exactly right. Compare, for example, the Irish pass at 23:22 (or thereabouts of the full game: link below) to Slade's in the second half. The Irish player's body shape is completely different, and the ball leaves his hands already in a forward direction; Slade's pass left his hands in a backwards direction and was carried forward by momentum. Big difference. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6PRp6CXlL-Yqrc

[@luisguerreiro71]

@@feliscorax English player catches the ball 10 m ahead almost in Ireland's half , but if its in the rules there's no argue with that , but for me its forward .

[@feliscorax]

@@luisguerreiro71 That's true, but that's only because of the relative velocity of the attacking player being carried into the inertia and momentum of the ball. It's precisely because of that that the laws were changed: The only criteria for a forward pass now is whether the ball leaves the passer's hands in a forwards or a backwards direction. Otherwise every flat pass would be called forward, and even some, such as over the head passes, would be as well in spite of the obviousness that they weren't actually passed forward to begin with. In other words, Newton's physics give the appearance of a forward pass, but that's all it is: an appearance. Yes, the recipient player (May in this case) does catch it further upfield from where the pass was launched, but that's not the relevant fact here.

Where was this "certain try" you talk of? And I suppose you didn't notice that pretty blatant forward pass for the 3rd Englisdh try? If that try had been chalked off at a decisive moment in the game it could have ended very differently.
