    @gt12 you don't see many rucks called unplayable any more. It either comes out veeerrry slowly, or the defending team gets penalised.

    Also saw one in the SAF v Japan quarter.

    Mafi got trapped on wrong side between Faf's legs. Saf deliberatley milking it but Barnes let play-on as long as Mafi was perfectly still, then Japan counter rucked and Faf tripped over the player that shouldn't be there but Barnes called truce as he knew they were gaming it to begin with. Barnes called too many bodies on the ground. Scrum.

    So wrong, but so right.

    Very knockout refereeing.

    The difference with that one is that SA were looking for a PK and the ball was available (albeit slow). This one the ball did not come out at all, which was directly attributable to the tackler getting in the road.

    To win a world cup, or even get to the final, you usually need to scrape by ugly in at least one game.

    No shame for Wales in progressing in a game that they were second best in, and is not overly relevant for guessing their performance level for the following week.

    Not sure that helps Piper get a gig for the main dance this week.

    Guy on the far right looks like he has just turtle-necked his pants..

    I for one am disappointed. SA vs FRA is more appetising than Wales. I haven’t sent anything from Wales this RWC to suggest they’ll beat SA.

    I would have liked to see SA v ENG. Reckon that would be a hard battle of similar styles.

    jesus be careful what you wish for!!

    It ain't going to happen.

    Hopefully not because Wales will beat the Boks....

    At least the 4th World Cup in a row with a controversial quarterfinal

    2007 - obvious
    2011 - Bryce Lawrence in the Boks/Wallabies quarter (Bryce couldn't referee in South Africa after that I believe?)
    2015 - Craig Joubert and Wallabies/Scotland finale
    2019 - Wales/France.

    Check out the video under 'red card' (Fekitoa on Ireland), and then explain why Wales didn't cop one as well?

    Wales went down to 14 men against France in the 2011 SF but could have, and should have, won.

    They played dumb rugby and lost.

    If Wales win this they won’t win the SF
    Not on this performance

    This performance won’t matter one iota if they win.

    You’ve just gotta get there and start again.

    Wales have very little chance of beating the Boks they can’t handle pressure and won’t handle the Boks up front one sided game coming

    I guess Peyper won't referee a game in France in a near future after this shot. He would be "persona non grata".

    Hearing that it's apparently photoshopped? Weirdly massive arm, hand on the shoulder is lower res than rest of the photo?

    Still think it's legit.

    It's not surprising to a see a referee with disproportionate biceps when they regularly are raising on arm for penalties much more than the other.

    Stupid move from Peyper. World Rugby will probably give him the Final now.

    Let's just take a moment to consider how self unaware the moron is who posted the picture online. Jacques says thanks mate! Nice reward for playing along for your joke.
