That definitely deserves a yellow. On report is a cop out.

It's interesting seeing all these on reports again with Aussie refs. We rarely see it really in SL as its all reviewed anyway.

Hate it, always have. 

[DavidM]

Things getting catty 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Leoparddys really aren't helping themselves. 

[Northern Eel]

Knock on, but only by a whisker. 

Massive set to defend now here for Ireland to stay in the game.

[Roy Haggerty]

Oh dear. I think my 100% prediction record is in its way out. Lebanon look much stronger here. 

[Old Frightful]

Robbie Mulhern on his home pitch, should see the Irish stalking their prey now...

[Dave T]

I'm not enjoying this refs style at all. I must admit to not being familiar with him, but his communication style and keenness to blow his whistle is having a big impact on the game. 

Of course the players need to sort themselves.

I hope he doesn’t start marking his territory 

[Hughsehhh]

Aussie ref just ignored the Ireland captain (g king) and calls over luke Keary. Prat

Edit - ignore, g king off the pitch.

I still can't be doing with Aussies, tho

Bit of niggle there from Andrew Kazzi.  He should really try and flush that type of stuff out of his game.

[dkw]

Lebanon look like the cats whiskers so far...

I think at this stage we should maybe call it a day..... 

[YCKonstantine]

I’d be surprised if Ireland end this game with 13 men on the pitch.

I think the game is too fast for him. I think a couple of the Aussie refs have struggled.

I'm enjoying this game.

We need a tournament between WCs outside of the bigger nations for France, Wales, Ireland, Jamaica, Lebanon, Cook Islands etc to compete against each other 

[GeordieSaint]

Oh dear. Ireland have self-imploded.

[Irish Saint]

Disaster from the short kick off.  

[GeordieSaint]

Some really poor decisions. What was Senior doing there?

[Northern Eel]

Lebanon in again. Is that really game over after half an hour? Never saw that coming.

What’s that got to do with cats ?

[JimBronco]

That second Lebanon try was beautifully worked

I know we have seen an increase in short kick offs etc. and I applaud the variety, but that isn't the time to be doing it.

One may be going for an early saucer of milk
