Wpw ANOTHER DEAL struck

No that's the guidance by world rugby, right call by the rules

Rugby no longer exists as the game I know and played.

I feel the same , can’t be fucked arguing about the rules , but fuck , it ain’t what it was

[Damo]

I am a bit skeptical about that RC. I think slow mo might have made it worse than it was.

[Victor Meldrew]

Oz commentators are def. siding with SB.

Don't tuck your arm.

[canefan]

It really IS tiddlywinks now

[Yeetyaah]

Fucking Scooter Barrett

[ACT Crusader]

I love it. We get to test our 14 man game plan given there is a litany of French refs going to the RWC, we are guaranteed to be running with 14 at some point.

[Donsteppa]

Barrett being an utter deadshit will only serve to gloss over the hard questions needed about the way this side has been playing since the Lions series...

[kiwiinmelb]

Anyway we are playing dumb , even without the red card

[booboo]

Fucking Crusaders

Yep, not difficult. And if you are going to shoulder charge it’s super stupid to get the head.

Ref had no choice. Clear red.

[Billy Tell]

At the end of the day if you dont use your arms youre asking for trouble i suppose.

Im liking the interchsnge between bb and rm. Im likng the backrow. But i think we need to talk abiut our props.

They’ll blame the ‘Naki.

[Mokey]

Well. We played good rugby for approx 3 minutes that half. The rest was pure shite. Do we even have a gameplan?

[booboo]

At least it's only a friendly

[hydro11]

I don't think that should be a red card but that is a reasonable call from Garces based on precedent. Definitely no intent (which is irrelevant). I didn't think there was a lot of force in that.

Thing is we play a game plan which is all around the game opening up in the second half. Even if that were a yellow card, we would be 16-12 down and have only 14 players until 30 minutes to go. We would probably still win from there but you are asking a lot.

In the World Cup we need to play for 80 minutes.

[Kirwan]

I’m pretty relieved that we are only four points behind. We were blown off the park.

[chimoaus]

I wonder when we last had the same backline start 2 games in a row. It must be unsettling having different combinations every week. The dramas at 6 and the midfield and now the BB experiment seem to be causing some issues.

[Hooroo]

I thought he slipped at first but replay shows it was just a fucking stupid move.

Red all day. I am struggling to see how anyone can say it’s soft
