hi

I had to laugh during the France v Ireland game.

As time had expired and France had the put in to (what would be) the last scrum, the Irish guy helping with the commentary said that "all Ireland have to do is to kick the ball straight thru the scrum".

As the French scrum-half put the ball directly into the back row the Irish hooker would have needed elastic legs.

I know that the referees now apply a certain amount of leniency in this law,but this was the most obvious "not straight " put in I have seen lately ( and I watch Rugby League too !!!).

Didn't affect the result of what was an entertaining game.

Cheers

Mike
