Off Topic The Rugby Thread

Wow, no foul play shoulder to opponent head...

 

Argies can't get over the try line, great defence so far

 

Ffs they're over now ! Going down to the wire

 

Argies deserve the lead on this half’s performance. Great noise from their fans.

If they are trying to eradicate head injuries they really have to punish everything regardless of intent, circumstances etc…

 

Don't think the Argies can have any complaints about the English ref now.
Sensible refereeing imo, but would have been a red earlier in the tournament.

 

Zammett so close

 

Keep the pressure up. A penalty now might be enough for Wales

 

Another Welsh handling error

 

You can't have a game of rugby without the possibility of head injuries , you can't take contact out of the sport. Not every collision of the head is down to foul or dangerous play, it was completely accidental and I'm glad a ref has finally understood the context of it and acted accordingly. No one wants to see 13 v 13 in the later stages of the sports grandest prize !

 

Goodnight Wales

 

Oh dear, interception surely sends Wales out !

 

Well my praise of Gatland was a little premature.

 

Don't think many predicted that outcome, especially after Wales were 10-0 up !

 

1-0 Southern Hemisphere ffs, let's hope it ends up 3-1 the other way

 

Argies fully deserved that.
Hard luck Wales and Taff.

Well refereed by the replacement too.
Common sense prevailed.

 

Absolutely.
Would have been a red previously without a doubt.

 

Thought the English ref that came on reffed it superbly, didn't bottle the big decisions and got almost everything right

 

Another Englishman, Barnes, in charge of tonight's game

 

French ref for the England game and a Kiwi ref for the France game. Mmm

 

For some reason the Irish have a huge dislike of Barnes.....
