Somewhere is this WC a ref or a TMO is going to make a howler of a decision and effect someone’s chances of winning the WC I just hope it not us.
Almost guaranteed to be true. Just look at all the terrible decisions so far. Even the RC in the Georgian Uruguayan match.

Hooper right to moan to ref.
The problem with Hooper (and Kearns x10) is that they moan all the time, so when it's a dead set injustice like this, it loses effect.
Hooper articulated his point about being able to carry the ball, like first contact was to the chest of the Welsh guy. After that, then everything else doesn't really matter I reckon.

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.
Typical of coverage so far at RWC.

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.Doesn't look like the Welsh 9 was offside.
I can't tell for certain, because of the angle; but when Genia had picked up the ball and set himself for a long pass, the Red 9 is only just past the hindmost feet. Seems pretty likely that he would have been onside.

I’m more worried about decisions like the Uruguay red card. Nothing the defender can do in that situation.
Yeah mate that’s another one

Rubbish call
That @booboo guy is an idiot.
Kerevi led with a forearma and closed fist.
Are you being contrary? He didn't lead with anything. At the time of contact his arms were against his chest (I won't dignify the closed fist bit with an answer). Patchell hits him high, kerevi pushes him off.
This was not him running around forearming dudes in the throat like you are trying to imply.

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.So what's new? 😉

Before impact Kerevi clearly pulled his left arm back and tucked it!

Surely a card, Foley tackled without the ball? sure he lost it forward first haha

The drop goal is a demoralising thing of beauty

Lovely play by Wales. They are impressive

@Chris looks like the directive from World Rugby has taken immediate effect with the TMO Seemly looking at everything ,not only slowing the momentum of the game, but giving the Welsh one hell of a leg up,
The Aussies have been sloppy , but I have been listening to the coms from Referee..there was moment where most referees would tell the 7 in this case Hooper that a turnover is good, but he said nothing , Hooper hesitated when turning the ball over,that idiot Poite is such a poor communicator you can see so much doubt at Breakdown, compare Poite to Barnes performance from the previous game..chalk and cheese..
I am no Aussie fan, but they are getting a rough ride from the officials
