Why was Heaslip sent off?
I canât be arsed looking back through the thread or watching the highlights, but I would like to be able to tut-tut about his indiscipline.
great stuff- on one hand its deadly seeing those west brits getting hammered & then on the other hand they are shaming our nation on the world stage
edit- its rugby- it doesnt have a world stage
He kneed some fella in the head as he was lying on the ground. Typical egg chasing scumbag.
That is fucking outrageous. No wonder they had to wait until after the 9pm watershed to show this brutish game.
Heaslips sending off heaps further shame on his home nation of Israel on a week of shame for the Jewish people.
fixed that for you
The referee rightly sent Heaslip off. Some of those watching it live this morning protested that it was ridiculously harsh but they were obviously watching it through red, white and blue tinted spectacles.
:lol:
Anti semite.
funny to see broncos reject thorn destroy the brits in green
Jamie might be an Israeli bastard, but heâs our Israeli bastard.
What Iâm concerned about is the fact this game was on in morning time and some poor child could have got up expecting to watch Padjos Jukebox or Live and Kicking but inadvertently flicked onto the site of a grown man trying to crush an opponent to death with his knee.
Thats why it shouldnât go to terrestrial tv runt.
Can this weird fetish for wannabe oirish imperialists finally be banned now?
After this display there can no longer be any argument that these gimps participate for sporting reasons.
TomĂĄs OâLeary - what a shit passer. Pretty unfortunate thatâs heâs a scrum half; Iâve seen props that pass with more pace and accuracy.
yes- it can at last be banned
Larryduff for one.
5 week ban for Heaslip. Out of the rest of the tour but back for pre-season. Fair enough probably.
âfair enoughâ = whew, got away with that one.
He should have got 6 months.
Itâs not as bad as eye gouging by any means, but the way he was trying to drive his knee into his head was disgraceful.
I saw the sending off and went back to bed.
Heaslip should be fined a months wages by the IRFU too. Paying for that thug to go to NewZealand just to see the most cowardly act of kneeing someone in the head while they are stuck in a ruck.
OâGara was an idiot and Kearneyâs mistake was laughable.
Teh All Blacks could have racked up a ton if they kept their foot on the pedal.
As for anyone banging on about the tries Ireland scored, who teh fook cares? The winners are the ones with most points and nothing else counts.
Moral victory/we can take something from this my hairy hoop!
The Leinster lads let down the nation here. Heaslip for a future captain? Weâll see after that. Yellow Bellied thug.
Tom.
There was no force to Heaslipâs knee. It was petulant more than anything. Wouldnât always have been a penalty in the recent past. He played the role of contrite repentant player well though and it would be ludicrous to keep someone out of the game for longer than a few weeks for that sort of action.
I donât see or hear anyone banging on about moral victories Tom. It was a shambolic performance.
Not on TV Rocko. Friends and people at work. Even since I wrote that post Iâve heard more of the amount of minutes that NZ had went before Ireland scored a try. Whatever.
Tom.
