Ref is good. He’s not bending to the Irish looking for foul play everywhere.

Biggest whingers in world rugby the last ten years.

Ireland are favorably refereed in the rucks. How many times did they contest the ball without being on their feet ? That was already the case against the All Blacks.

@antipodean green is the new black.

I would love to have clarity why some teams are coached at the breakdown and others are just penalised without warning .
For me the Australians were given no favours by the official

[Bovidae]

I've just watched this game. Aust unlucky but Wright gave them a chance by taking the ball over the line. Shield the ball and have a lineout throw.

The best I've seen Lolesio play in a long time. The French TMO was a joke by not making calls over obvious missed knock-ons, yet happy to interject when there might have been foul play. More evidence that the high tackle laws don't apply to the Irish.

[NTA]

Watching back now.

Just got to McCarthy v Valetini skull Off

How - the fuck - is that not a card?

[NTA]

Tupou's break: should have given it to Williams straight away, running out to JAS and Jorgensen on the wing.

[NTA]

Sua'ali'i still has the league habit of turning a shoulder into an opponent after the ball has gone. Surprised he wasn't pinged

[NTA]

OMFG the clear knock on before Doris' try.

Fuck. Me. Dead.

[NTA]

53:00 Aki living his Kiwi roots - straight in at the side, followed at the turned over ruck by Kellaway straight off his feet but... winning... the penalty??

[NTA]

And then we are gifted three points after the referee shows no advantage but penalises ireland anyway. This is a farce

[Nepia]

Well that was a weird match for me to watch, I never cheer for Oz but I was clearly cheering for them in this match.

I really dislike Ireland. I hate their smugness over not booing the kicker, of course they don't boo the kicker, they're too tired from booing and whistling everything else throughout the rest of the match.

Ref decisions in rugby are still a lottery. There was one TMO review when I had the sound off where I genuinely didn't know if it was the attacker or defender they were reviewing.

I take back my previous post.

Fuck don't they. Their knowledge of the Laws is worse than this Italian ref.

[NTA]

I'm 62 minutes in. Surely McReight is MOTM?

[NTA]

Fuck me even the ARs are gibbering idiots

[NTA]

As I get older, I've become more relaxed about referees. Having done it more and more, you understand mistakes are made.

But that was fucking appalling. World Rugby took the only Major Test match this weekend and gave it to second tier retards.

[NTA]

Fraser McReight: 22 tackles (0 misses), 4 defenders been, 27 metres carried, 4 turnovers.

Not MOTM

[NTA]

Ireland had 59% possession and 76% territory. A lot of turnovers each way.

Ireland missed 11 tackles (87% success) and we missed 14 (86%).

@Dodge said in Ireland v Wallabies:

I think the ref has had a good game, I have one minor complaint, Ireland have to be told several times at every break down to leave it, or hands off, or roll away. It’s frustrating and should be pinged quicker

Agree. In my view he probably should’ve penalised them a couple more times to send a message. Far more leeway given than you would want/expect.
