Poor communication between referee Craig Joubert & both ARs Jerome Garces (FRA) + AN Other.
England blatantly and repeatly way offside. Your wingers may be quick, but they are certainly NOT that quick. Hope this team of three don't influence the result of the game. First word from the ref to the English players, just now, after 35 minutes of play.
Joubert's positioning between 9 & 10 is also pretty poor.

Some naieve pitch management from England, long thrown line out missed , driving maul toward touchline - giving an easy rush defence target on ford/burrell. Final pass to Nowell at halftime - avoid the damn touchline if you want to retain possession.....wtf!
Ireland outplaying us, under rewarded on their scoreboard.

White 11 makes a jinking run, minutes into the second half, but does manage to place the ball on the field of play before being bundled into touch by Green15.
Frenchman Mathieu Raynal, the second AR, incorrectly awards the line-out to Ireland.

Oh the irony of it. England captain questions the referee about an Ireland player being offside.

Vunipola on Sexton. BV carries and smashes into JS; JS seems stunned in the challenge. Dangerous raised forearm from BV, or big bosh? (60mins ish)

Fairly standard at this level rarely penalised, mind you the face challenge of Healy ....wow he's a tough mother....

Hi Blue Smartie,
It was a little like Bastereau's challenge on Sexton two week's ago. Certainly targeting the 10 channel, but I think it was accidental.
Browner an intentional leading fore-arm would be red-carded.

Another good example of elite players positioning themselves well for a tackle...

Interesting view, for me it was Ireland who were offside continuously and blockage ahead of the ball and Lord knows what Joubert was thinking when the English scrum half was not given penalty when the Irish guy was clearly offside late in the game.
Overall, I'm nota fan of the way Ireland play players ahead and off the ball. That said, England's kicking was poor
Ireland were accurate (kicks, breakdown), England were not; England gave away penalties, Ireland did not.
Given that basis, the result is hardly a surprise. Ireland deserved the win because they used their resources very efficiently, and as a bonus scrummaged England to equality.
England depressed me; Ireland does not excite. But I'd take an unexciting England win if I could!

Only if he "strikes" an opponent in a manner that warrants a RC.

So, a player who is running with the ball clutched to his body under his hand and forearm is RC if a player tackles him and cops that forearm to the face? Really?

It seemed to us that Joubert was ignoring far more of England's offences around the breakdown than Ireland's. And how he didn't YC the England player not rolling away with ball on his goal line in the first 5 minutes, was just a cop out. If it had been the last 5 minutes, would he have wavered? I think not.

Ireland repeatedly stopped English players from joining the ruck by cleaning them out / taking them out before they had bound / off the ball, killing many contests. This seemed to go totally unnoticed.
Having said that, England's intensity seemed a bit off and the kick chase was terrible, something they lost when May was dropped .. don't get me started on the way they handled the up and under.
Ireland worthy winners and don't think the referee had a hand in the outcome, but CJ didn't look entirely on song to me.
