RWC: Russia v Samoa (Pool A)

[African Monkey]

Ala'alatoa having a difficult time on the tighthead side.

[antipodean]

How good do the Russian 9 and 15 look?

[ACT Crusader]

Russian captain and fullback nice little move and they make good field position.

Problem Russian has is they commit so many numbers to the breakdown that they don’t have enough attackers/support players out wide.

[ACT Crusader]

Now 6-5 Russia

[ACT Crusader]

Ouch and ouch

[ACT Crusader]

Wow, this could be Red for Rey

[Rapido]

What? The fuck?

[Stargazer]

Oh, f*ck. French ref. Going to give a red.

[Rapido]

Not even a penalty

[ACT Crusader]

Actually a good explanation in the end. YC

[African Monkey]

Really?

Get off the turps

[Stargazer]

Phew. He didnt' forget the mitigating factors. YC.

[Rapido]

Wrapped. Not high.

Top of the shoulder to the face is the first point of contact.

[MajorRage]

I don't want to scare everybody, but I do believe a French ref just made an excellent decision following protocols in the World Cup.

[MiketheSnow]

That'll learn him

[voodoo]

No way that's red. YC at worst , just a penalty also a suitable outcome.

[ACT Crusader]

Wow. Another hit and the TMO is back at it.

[Stargazer]

Oh, shit. Matu'u knocked out.
