"Play it real speed... He's looking at the player, isn't he? No intention to play the ball... He's looking at the player. Leading shoulder... Not a head-contact basis. He picks the player and drops the shoulder. Yellow card."https://twitter.com/RTErugby/status/1489986155219230729
"Oh f*** off!"Adams could have no complaints and off he went. By the time he had returned, Ireland had added an extra try to their tally and, at 24-0, it was game over. Ireland ended up winning 29-7 and, after the game, Wales coach Wayne Pivac described the Adams-Sexton collision as 'just one of those things'. "Seeing it live, the referee saw it as two players colliding and he let play continue," Pivac added. "He then said the ball went one way and Josh went the other. It's one of those things. It's been picked up and Josh has been yellow-carded. We move on. Sexton, for his part, was not looking to make any more of the incident. Asked about the Adams hit, post-match, he said:
"Yeah, I'm okay. It was dealt with on the pitch. "I can't really answer about [why it happened] as I was on the receiving end. You'd have to ask him about what his intentions were. "Look, it was one of those things, a bouncing ball. It was dealt with on the pitch and we got on with it. We made it pay, thankfully, with a couple of tries."Next up for Ireland is a trip to Paris to face pre-tournament favourites France. Wales, who should have Adams available, are at home to Scotland.
