    Well that's a complete lack of consistency with other games.

    This game too. Scotland had a few penalties against them already with nothing earlier. Barnes is going to Barnes though

    I'd forgotten Conan was still on the pitch until that.

    Lads, stander has been incredible in defense.
    Every single tackle has been extremely dominant and knock the scot backwards

    NZ could break their 2015 QF score against this Scotland side.

    if it was a one score game Barnes wouldn’t have flashed a yellow . It was a token.

    Farce of a call, Barnes does tend to pity the losing side IMO.

    Scotland have rarely threatened to get into good positions, and on the rare times in which they have they have fluffed it - very poor.

    Cant see what he did wrong? On feet and wasnt part of the tackle. He lost his feet at the end but started perfectly legally

    You must not be watching the game so, because he’s made more tackles than anyone else in the Ireland team.

    Where's the yellow now Barnes.

    Preventing a team from clearing their lines is as cynical as stopping a team attacking

    Think he went off his feet momentarily, then back on, maybe he was leaning on his knees, we didn't get a good angle, Barnes was right there, tbf. Penalty, ok...yellow? Harsh.

    He ended up not supporting his weight and didn't release the ball

    He deliberately killed any chance for Scotland to get the ball out quickly while they had us on the ropes. Well deserved for the cynicism. The fact that it’s not consistently applied is a problem but you can’t argue with the merit if the decision.
