RWC: Australia v Wales (Pool D)

[mariner4life]

Late shoulder charge, not high, penalty only

Pocock is good for one thing and absolutely fuck all else

Most over-hyped player in the history of the game.

[Damo]

I am not happy about that from Hooper. It is very late and unnecessary. The sort of thing that can be a flashpoint.

[Kirwan]

@mariner4life they got away with one there

[Gunner]

You’ve got no argument Hooper, tell your story walking pal.

[Nepia]

Why would Hooper complain? It's like he's doubling down on being a dickhead.

[Machpants]

To me that was in the neck, so high

[Bones]

I think the shoulder charge was the worst part there rather than the late hit. They would have collided either way, doubt Hooper could get out of the way. Lucky.

Let's call it old fashioned. Every 7 I'm the 90s took the chance to hit the 10 late if the opportunity arose

[Stargazer]

Correct decision IMO.

[Kirwan]

Aussie are getting monstered here.

Late shoulder charges are cowardly

[Damo]

Wobs look pretty average. Lucky to be only 10 down, which is the only silver lining.

[Kirwan]

Good scrum from Oz there

[kiwiinmelb]

Aussies need to put together some phases without coughing it up

[Damo]

No way is the player on his feet there.

[kiwiinmelb]

Nice try, they do have attacking ability if they can cut out the stupid mistakes

[Stargazer]

@Kirwan Not so sure it was a shoulder charge. There was contact with the right shoulder, but his left arm was in front of his body. According to the framework, that isn't a shoulder charge.

[Kirwan]

Game on! Massively against the run of play

[mariner4life]

Good try! Game on!
