RWC Week 5: France v Italy
-
Great try
-
Italy fightback has started.
-
Can someone do something technical with the female commentators voice? As grating as chalk on a blackboard
-
You have got to wonder after 18 years in the 6 Nations why the Italians have not improved, I reckon if you stuck Tonga ,Samoa and Fiji in that same comp they would be much more of a threat

Yeah but she's pretty good, just the voice is annoying.

Jelonch on the Italian 23. Shoulder went up on his jaw from what I saw.

@Victor-Meldrew TMO stopped looking for issues as soon as France were out of sight 😂

I cannot get over the amount of illegal crap the French get away with. More offside than SA, taking tacklers out off the ball and beyond the ruck like Ireland and NZ, more flopping over rucks than anyone out there.
And my pet peeve is when they put hands on the ball for a split second to slow the ball down at the breakdown, then raise their hands to say “not guilty”. I just don’t get how they don’t get penalised more.
In saying that, they have some fantastic, powerful rugby players and Jalibert is a gem of a fly half.
-
Bs referee again these English refs are ruining the game along with Jonkers who a is blight on the game.
The France have some impressive players
Jalibert was very good at first five, and the no.8 is a beast Alldrit the 6 Jelonch was also impressive. -

Dickson and Carley have no feel for the game.
Especially damning as Dickson is an ex-pro player
They are shocking,I hope they are no where near the play off games.

Amen. Saw the ref the other day was Barnes and thought “bugger”, then spotted Carley on the sideline and thought “fuck”. Discovered the TMO was bonkers Jonkers and went and did something else.
Wondered whether it was just me not liking refs, but struggled to think of others that I really disliked. Only came up with Dickenson (there will be a few others), but over decades that’s not bad. Could think of loads of good ones. Quite few good Saffas. Bonkers the only standout dickhead.
The English seem to have a school of pedantry rather than pragmatism, and makes rugby a tough watch.

I realise the levels of angst toward Barnes are (unreasonably) high among Kiwi fans, but he's actually about the best ref going around at the moment.
