SIX NATIONS COMPLETE

That's it for another year. Well done Ireland, the best rugby nation by a healthy margin, France - yes, they deserve second spot and Scotland in third was correct.
The teams had a natural split; two great teams, one good team and the rest, although Italy are fast improving while Wales and England are slipping downwards.
I read that many pundits don't agree with Stewart's red carding - well it was an elbow in the Irish lads face. Definite sending off.
It's been a decent few weeks of rugby.

By the laws it was a red. I think the laws need some revision.
I was more angry with the yellow which seemed hugely inconsistent with similar incident in the first half.
Plus throughout the match the ref was inconsistent and missing obvious infringements. A TMO should not be calling the ref about a blatant offside that was in front of him for example. We need better international refs throughout not just from Europe.

@OldBrit Definite red - the Irish lad was concussed and could not play again that match.
The yellow - agreed - should have been a red for dangerous play.
The ref was pretty lenient.

@helensusanswift and the same in the first half, how was that tap tackle any different from the Willis one and that was penalty only? Made no sense.
