RWC: England v Australia (QF 1)

Poms score again before halftime it’s close to game over

[Damo]

What knock on?

[junior]

They need to get Genia off - he's taking up all of his backline's time and space and giving the English defensive line plenty of time to get up and smash them back

Ref's extremely relaxed on players holding the ball on the ground again. I bet that does a complete 180 for the next game

Not likely. Ref is right that the jackler has to have a good go at the ball.

I was at a semi-pro game recently where a ref blew 19 PKs for holding on (seriously). I spoke to the ref assessor afterwards and asked him what he thought. He said the ref was far too quick to blow the instant someone was over the ball. It ruined the game.

Sure but when he's actually dragging the tackled player around while both hold the ball I think it's swung a bit too far...

Yeah, I don't think you should be encouraging players to drag opponents around by the balls...

Depends how far they're swinging.

Fuck supporting these dumb fluffybunnies every week. Seriously, why are they following up points by trying to run from their 22?

Dumb not to start with White.

Did he mention dropped balls

[Gunner]

Aussie tactics are letting them down.

They’re giving up points trying to run it from deep in their own territory.

Fake news

[mariner4life]

Why? Why are they trying to run from their 22? Through forward runners too? Dumb fluffybunnies

So dumb

Reckon that tackle went beyond the Hz

[akan004]

Australia have to score a try now.

[junior]

Samu skins Tuilagi and all of the sudden the Aussies have a chance to get right back into this match

[antipodean]

Need a try before halftime. Good opportunity here.

Could have been one of Kerevi passed for once

I'm amazed that didn't get referred

[Anonymous]

Whenever Australia make a break they seem to have no support. Makes it hard for them to score

Dare I say it, excellent refereeing.

Hard to ping Hooper for that tackle when Vunipola basically tripped over Latu.

[junior]

Jesus the chat from both teams coming from the ref's mic is unbearable
