No, I think he made them take two off so they could bring 1 on.
One sent off, made take off one, and then bring on one?
Well that would leave them with 14.
They took off two to bring on one. To leave them with 13.
I believe. 
Thatās crazy
Indeed
So #2 injured his arm and came off for #16
#16 got sent off.
So they had to bring on a prop to go front row.
(Yet, scrums have become uncontested. Why they needed to bring on a prop, I dunno)
So #17 came on for #14.
But what the graphic doesnāt show is #8 also went off.
Complete omnishambles.
Ah Jaysus. Iām even more confused now. Do they further punish a side for going to uncontested scrums because of foul play?
All easily clarified by referring to the rule book. Soccer lads not great when it comes to the rule book.
What a silly sport

As always, the rules trip Rugby up more than anything else
An absolute bollocks of a sport where Iād imagine rules are changed on an annual basis by a coterie of fogeys in blazers just to seem relevant. A sport where you canāt see the ball 60% of the time is a cod.

I heard on the radio that Italy finished with 11 players on the field.
An attritional game of rugby!
There was a lad around here used to call it the 5.5 Nations. That probably seems a bit generous.
I was at this today. I left at half time.
God help anybody who spent 90 quid of their own money to go to that.
