Pumas v Wallabies, Twickenham

@NTA chill mate.

I agree the argies seem to get a weird exemption from dickish behaviour though, lasers, diving etc.

@NTA What was Phipps hoping to achieve? What is the problem with the physio getting the ball during a break in play when nothing is happening? Phipps could have done nothing at all if he got the ball first...apart from walk slowly back to where play was to restart.

If it was anyone else pushing over an Aussie physio, then fair dues.

Can you imagine the wailing that would come from the Aussie rugby experts/media if this was an AB pushing over a trainer? There would be special pieces about how the ABs have lost their way and are arrogant/ lack humility. It was a dick move just like pegging someones boot away or a trainer trying to punch a ball to prevent a quick throw.

@pukunui I imagine most of the whaling would be outta Japan.

Or an injured player (say, Liam Messam) acting as a waterboy but coming on the field to join in punch-ups?

I'd imagine the wailing would be similar to the wailing on this thread, about our thuggish coach and thuggish attitude. The usual stuff, really.
