RWC: Australia v Wales (Pool D)
-
Good comment from Hoiles. All the TMO and that half took an extra 10 minutes.
The press tomorrow should be interesting. I feel like a great game of rugby has been tarnished with one inexplicable decision

It was a dubious call, but then Genia throws an even more dubious pass and suddenly the game is getting away from OZ.
I hope this doesn't descend into ref bashing because Wales are deserving of their lead. The have been between 10-15 points better.
Was about the fourth terrible pass from Oz too
-
@Damo Wales better, but not 15pts better.

@Damo Wales better, but not 16pts better.
Agreed.
Not 16 points better. I was thinking 10-15 points better.

5 minutes to check an "illegal carry".
No time to check the inside of a rare and difficult intercept of a halfback pass.
Great way to spoil what's been a great RWC, publicaly tell the refs they need to lift their game and watch them fret over chest contacts all game. đŸ¤¨
-
The dubious call was only three points. What hurt was the loopy pass to a forward pod that wasn't even set up.
For all the crying about carrying into contact, that's entirely self inflicted.

Was the Welsh player onside for the intercept? Would like to see a replay.
They never show a clear replay to confirm if he was onside or not. Annoying.

I think he was well offside horrendous ref and Skeen as TMO a joke
If that’s a penalty for Kerevi. then the ABs are in danger of a Red card somewhere in this WC. -

I've replayed it a few times and it looks fine on my screen.

You'd think with all the checking on illegal play, the TMO could watch the bloody offside line 24/7 and call those.
With all the technology, put a goddam chip in the ball, that software reads and on a digital rendering over-layed on the live game, shows the offside line to the TMO, and wow - how easy would that be.Not saying Wales are overly offside, because I think just every team is probably most of the time - fix the offside, fix the game.

Rubbish call
That @booboo guy is an idiot.
Kerevi led with a forearma and closed fist.
The Oz commentary just showed an angle that made it look dodgy while saying that it was the Welsh player's fault for poor tackling technique. Bad timing.
Still, Skeen should have just left it - but I guess if it gets cited he gets a black mark against his performance.

Wallabies have done well. They need to reset, and realise there are points out there if they can cut out the errors.
The Welsh need to settle it down a bit more, correct their set piece, make tackles, continue to be physical at the ruck, and they'll win on the back of the territory that will provide.
