RWC: Australia vs Uruguay (Pool D)

[Bones]

What? That was not clear and obvious to me.

[Nepia]

BOOO!!!!!

[NTA]

Fuck Ben Skeen must have been a friendless child

[Stargazer]

Oh, geez, Skeen, shut the f*ck up.

[Damo]

That is not what the TMO is for.

[Yeetyaah]

Was that actually on side? Confused.

Only got one look at it so hard to tell!

[Stargazer]

Uruguay have been so much more fun to watch than other minnow teams like Canada.

Technically the TMO was right. However there is a serious issue if the TMO is getting involved in looking at technical offences. Most tries will be ruled out if that is the level of precision that is expected from the TMO.

Goddam ridiculous - I think if you went back there were a few aussies leading in with shoulders to that ruck as well.
The Aussie discipline is woeful. Zero reason to be trying to prove how tough you are against Uruguay. Just dumb.

I didn't think the TMO could get involved with that sort of thing?

They changed the protocol. Again. 🙄

TMO Ben Skeen, Someone tell this knob not to give up his day job. Oh wait, he's deputy principal at Auckland Grammar. He should stick to his day job, being pedantic is perfect.

[taniwharugby]

Score

At least one thing is guaranteed - we won't get him as a TMO anytime soon. Hopefully he is working as a special op to ensure we get the right opponent later on in the tourney...kinda like a Suzy.

@taniwharugby 26 - 3 to the Aussies after 47 minutes

Did Kuridrani just do the ol' toot toot thing he does... my god he did - its Uruguay for christ sake.

[No Quarter]

Good defense from Toomoa to stop Kuridrani scoring

[ACT Crusader]

Slipper breaks the duck.

Owen Franks sends an angry text to Hansen.

[Stargazer]

Finally, an Uruguayan try. They deserved that one!
