Mark Connolly Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Wales in full shootfooting mode against SA. Penalty try for slapping it into touch beside the try line, immediately followed by an insane offload to no-one in their own in goal area, snatched by the Boks for another try 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illgresi Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 This is a painful watch. Wales are all over the place. Totally outclassed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Fair play to West England here for continuing to try and chuck it about despite being brutally punished almost everytime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Some of the refereeing in this England game is actually embarrassing, especially at the scrum. He's so obviously wrong, surely the TMO or someone has to intervene because he's handing the game to Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Absolutely crazy from Vunipola. Obviously doesn't fancy the World Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, no attempt at an actual tackle, just blasted the guy in the face with the shoulder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignoramus Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 And there’s the red. Do England actually try to play any rugby or do they just fly about trying to blitz people?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Should never have needed reviewed. They may as well say on field referees no longer give red cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 It's such a pisser England and Wales have basically been given a bye to the quarter finals when they are such horrendously bad rugby teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Ireland getting away with a blatant obstruction on that try. Perfectly good try, I say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 England being made a marginally less terrible team by accident, as their biggest liabilities who are being picked on a past reputation alone all get themselves banned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is right. That should have been a straight red which the officials could have decided on the field. Blatant. I guess the default is to give yellows and shift the burden - and speed up the game. But I quite like the deliberation process - it’s refereeing out in the open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I quite like the deliberation process - it’s refereeing out in the open. That's effectively what the protocol is. If the ref sees it live right in front of him, he'll give a red. Anything that requires TMO intervention is a yellow with a bunker review. As much as Fat Billy's effort yesterday was a clear red on the first replay, the fact it wasn't clear to the officials live meant he couldn't show the red card there and then 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Just heard Miotti is away to France, a couple of months after signing a new contract. Glasgow seemingly not going to bring anyone else in at this point, and will run with Thomson and Jordan with Weir and however's in the academy (is Toonies son still there?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Have any of those off field reviews actually not been upgraded to red yet? Each of Fagerson, Farrell and Vunipola were all upgraded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty in Super Rugby that remained as a yellow though Which suggests that Test level refs are using it when they're pretty sure it's red and just want someone to check their working While in Super Rugby they're using it for things that they think are probably just yellow but someone else may as well have a quick check just in case But it's a small sample so it might not mean anything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in the wales game I didnt even think it was a yellow as the player was already being tackled and fell into his shoulder and he was already fairly low 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
