Glad it’s an SA ref making that call.

I don't get why Pocock always gets rag dolled. He's built like a tank and lower to the ground. Is he really slow?
It is weird. You'd expect him to be like Nonu but he ain't.

Gee I hope Ireland win after that spat by Phil Kearns.

Yeah or Mealamu. A nugget wrecking ball. He's bigger than Hooper, but Hooper runs km more than him.

Haha Aussie comms going full retard. Pretty simple, you can't tackle a guy who doesn't, and never did, have the ball. I don't give a shit if you thought he was going to get it. The fact he held him down afterwards just reinforces it.
If tackling a dummy runner is now illegal than the game will be littered with penalties. Basically every backline move will result in one.

Even better. 😏

Is a neck roll not a YC? Thought they were clamping down on them.

TMO said he let go so it was penalty only.

Nah what Coleman did doesn’t happen that often. He picked the wrong man and then drove him into the ground and held him down. It was a simple cut out ball from Ireland that was completely misread. Poor play.

Good tackle by Henshaw to stop that initial attack. Pressure building though.

Too much gym strength not enough functional strength maybe?

Ireland tiring more. Some players sucking hard.

Tackling a player without the ball has always been illegal.

Great scrum by Australia at critical moment. Easy three.

Must be but Pocock is such a professional in everything he does. I would have thought he'd be focusing on what will be best for rugby. It's bizarre that he can't break a single tackle, even late in a game.

Oh yeah, for sure. But I also see dummy runners - I.E players that put their hands up and feign catching the ball - get tackled all the time and no penalty results. To rub out a try where it had no impact on whether the try would be scored or not is ridiculously harsh.

Stockdale released ball there. But ref says ruck was formed.
