RWC QF: Wales v Argentina

[The Irishman]

Great result for Argentina.

[bayimports]

Feel for the guy who threw the intercept though, but well done the Argies!

[MiketheSnow]

Architects of our own demise

And fuck you Dickson and Jonker

[Jailbreak7]

Good for Argie

[Bones]

Argentina really are warming up nicely eh, trending up every week.

[sparky]

See you in the Semis, Pumas.

[stodders]

Well one thing is for sure, Sir Clive’s accumulator is buggered now 😂

[Jailbreak7]

@MiketheSnow Yes feel for you mate. We constantly shoot ourselves in the foot with the reffing teams. Just a complete and utter lottery. Those decisions could have gone either way. Dire from Jonker, Dickson.

@Dodge said in RWC QF: Wales v Argentina:

I’ve literally no idea what the ref is going to give anymore. That could have been red, in the end not even a penalty. Weird

It was the decision I'd like to see in a game - no intent. But in the context of how things have been reffed it was mind-boggling.

If something has changed, why haven't we, the punters, been told? Have the players?

[stodders]

@Victor-Meldrew same thing happened in 2019. Card lottery in the pools, then refs lost their cards in the knockout rounds.

[Tordah]

Jonker: "I need to show you foul play by blue" - ref looks at it and says "no foul play, you agree with me?" - "yes, just felt it was important to show the process"

Another Marius Wonker classic

[stodders]

@Tordah ah Marius. Consistency personified.

[Bovidae]

All we ask for is consistency around the issuing of cards. I bet we don't get it across the other QFs.

If I drive my car at 100 through a school crossing but try to avoid the kids, that's ok because I didn't intend to hit them, right?

[Wairau]

@sparky let's hope South win all 4 !

[game_film]

Agree with Dickson there. Player was held up, he came in legally. ‘Tina player saw it coming and pulled it down leaving Tompkins in the way.

[stodders]

Sad end to for Dan Biggar. Congrats to him on a fab international career.

One NH fly half great has been retired this weekend 😬

This Welshman would be happy to see you take 3 - need France to see off the boks

I think a better analogy might driving at 30mph near a school crossing expecting to be nicked as you think the speed limit is 20mph, as no-one told you the speed limit had been raised to 30mph.

Player came in out of control, at chest height, unsighted, at speed to a breakdown, with people are typically bent to chest height or lower.

Just have some fucking restraint and use your brain.
