RWC: England v Argentina (Pool C)

[Yeetyaah]

Farrell trying to talk the card down to the ref just then? Or was he arguing about an HIA?

[Damo]

It's the right call. No question.

However that doesn't change the fact that this has almost certainly ruined the game. I reckon 20 minutes and then a sub can come on is the way to go.

[African Monkey]

@MrDenmore Are you serious?

[Rebound]

@MiketheSnow Really correct decision. Farrell fucking ducked right before impact. Wtf must the tackler do, let him fall over the advantage line

Game over. First match ruined. How many more?

They are professional athletes.

The shortest player on the pitch is most probably 5' 8"

That's 68 inches of height to tackle.

He chose to target the top 12-18 inches.

Evolove or die.

Correct decision.

Japanese got it right didn't they, get them low, behind the gain line.

Uruguayans too. Excellent technique.

[MrDenmore]

@African-Monkey Yes. This is a business.

[KiwiMurph]

@Rebound Farrell did not duck right before contact. That's rubbish.

Really? What do you think the tackler must do? Is it that hard to figure out?

[canefan]

Cue a herculean against the odds win by the argies

[Rebound]

@KiwiMurph So what did he do squat. He certainly went lower at the last minute. What was the tackler supposed to do. Bail out after he already committed. Really?

[No Quarter]

Should be a YC

[Steven Harris]

@Billy-Tell Glad I watched the whole 80 minutes of the shield game..switched over just in time to see the red being dished out...might head to Netflix for the rest of the evening

[Yeetyaah]

Jesus Christ Tuilagi. Yellow for him surely.

[kiwiinmelb]

The decision was 100 % right , I’m not disputing that, just expressing disappointment that the contest is probably over already,

[canefan]

Get square time

[Yeetyaah]

Shit call from Owens

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Yeah, IMO it should have been a YC.

[westcoastie]

Could argue thats leading with shoulder too from Tuilagi and in the air...

Jesus h. Nobody can be that dim to not figure out the tackler can't aim at the top of the shoulders. Well at least I thought that...

[Rebound]

@Bones Yes it's extremely hard to figure out. This is exactly the same as Sinckler jumping at the last minute for Lions the tackler already committed. The ref cannot say there's no mitigation
