Just England & Ireland to go

You just can't let it go can you Sunshine?
Enjoying the high of watching Italy turn over France. And the collective reaction of the French team.
Awful match in Cardiff. Felt like it was the 1970s again. What do I do with this thing? Oh yeah. Kick it.
Come on guys. The whole point is that Webb Ellis picked it up and ran with it. But I suppose if you're Welsh it was superb. (Someone please buy James Hook a thesaurus.) If you're Irish, it was a travesty but face it neither O'Gara or Sexton had much control over the game.
Not looking forward to the Calcutta Cup match today as doubtless we'll get skinned by the English as usual but at least this year we'll have a wooden spoon to put in the trophy cabinet at Murrayfield. Again.
Still can't get over the ref breaking down in the middle of the match. Has anyone ever seen that happen before?.
What happened?
Towards the end of the first half at a lineout we could see the ref wince and as the scotland attack was just starting to build he blew up because he'd either snapped a ligament or pulled a hamstring. He had to be carried off the pitch because it was that bad. In all the years of watching the game I have never seen an official get injured. And then of course we had all the fun of juggling the remaining officials and standbys and moving mikes around. Bizarre. Definitely a candidate for what happened next on Question of Sport.
Shamefully inept officials' decision in the Wales v Ireland game. Clearly a breach of the rules.
We wuz robbed!!

It's definitely happened in a couple of premiership football matches, but no, I don't remember seeing it in rugby before.
