Three players cited, should have been a fourth, the England second row the new boy on the block, every ruck he used his scrum cap to cause damage, why did the ref not spot this. This is not sour grapes from a proud Welshman as England deserved the win as Wales did not turn up in the first half
Best game of the weekend was Scotland v France, well done to our Celtic cousins
Admiral
Don't understand how a scrum cap can be 'used' to cause damage! I saw no instance whatsoever of him deliberately using it as a weapon. How so?
He definatley kept using his head in nearly every ruck, I have played it back in slo-mo and this did happen, look out for it tomorrow v France
Admiral
Thanks Admiral. Can you define what you mean by using his head? I've checked back in the newspaper reports, can't find any examples or reference to such use/foul play noted by the pundits or officials. What is it precisely I should be looking for during the game!

Thanks, all, now I know. Will Google him for details.
Wales were far too good for Italy, but it was a shame that the ref & linesman missed the offside before the 1st try. They both must have been blind, or bribed!!
Enjoyed the Ireland/Scotland game, but the Scots seemed to have caught the English disease of giving away too many penalties. The sending offs may well have cost them the game. Just hope England are a bit more circumspect tonight.......Not long now to kickoff!

Will watch out for that, Admiral. Certainly rate the young man and he appears to be a fair and hardworking player. Having played the game for thirty years I was well accustomed to heads boring in rucks and mauls. It's not illegal and just part of the game as far as I see it. Mind you, I see your point about how scrum caps can 'help' in this! May be more an 'issue' with the equipment more than the player!
