Japan completely blew it against France in the last 15 mins. 2 squint line outs from Shota Horie and knock on over the try line that caused the TMO to rule it out. On the other hand they scored 2 lovely tries in the 1st half. 

Similarities with Scotland there 🤣

The Oz v England game was shaping up to be a good finish, but Brace is fully at it now and will whistle England over the line in this last ten. He's pulling out all the classics from "not straight" at line outs when Oz look like scoring, to random maul penalties just because.

Rugby is in the toilet man, games ruined by red cards for accidental head knocks and 3 minute lineouts. Tests last over 2 hours. One thing to lose a long time fan here - but it's waving goodbye to new/fair weather viewers with daft rules.

Yellow cards for trying to catch the ball, 5 minute scrums, the same penalty for tiny technical errors as there is for blatant cheating, almost every breakdown open to interpretation. It needs a bit of an overhaul.

Spot on. That was never foul play intentional head knock in NZ v Ire game. Ironic thing is that the first one was. Appreciate letter of law was he had to go but ffs it was a accident.
Also oz got a YC today for a deliberate knock on which was utter nonsense. Nothing deliberate about it..he tried to catch it and if he did he'd be under the sticks
