they tried the same move as in the WC final 2011 but O Franks is just a terrible ball runner
Also the front pod didn't take out the french defenders like in that final. Close the gap!!

Okay. That shouldn't be a red. Intent should count.
What? He didn't intend to be a fucking idiot? Too stupid to know what he was doing?
Calm the fuck down.
Eyes on the ball. Gets a shoulder from ioane just before contact. Bangs in to a guy who jumps. Never grabs. Doesn't run through him. Yellow all day. But i think a red needs a higher threshold.
I respectfully disagree. That was incredibly dangerous. He was never going to get that ball. He barely left the ground ffs. Clear red all day.
Outcome was dangerous. But i think the player needs to have some intent to injure before a red becomes an option.
I am aware i am in disagreement with the laws here, and it's just an opinion.
I don't like that the same action gets a different card if barrett doesnt land on his head.
How would you accurately judge intent? Keeping eyes on ball as you break a guys neck?
Do you think he meant to tip him on his head?
Irrelevant. Ben Smith pulled out of a contest last weekend because he did what Fall should have done. Checked his path while looking to contest the ball. Had he done it for a split second, he could have checked his run and smashed Beaudy when he landed.

@gunner DMAC has chosen to run lines for himself the first two touches, rather than distribute.
He's not a five-eighth's arse.

Why call him Jordan Barrett Mr Marshall, or if we are using birth names, Justina
-
Haha go quick tap, pass to the slow whitelock, barrett falls over, turnover.
Both teams know this game is a foregone conclusion

Lots of first up missed tackles by ABs but French losing support players and ABs turning over. But the French ain't winning anything with their lineout they brought on tour

No one can convince me that a test footballer can't judge his run in that situation. That wasn't even a 70:30 situation

Looks like we got a game within a game here - flat ball, red card, player tapping ball to himself trying to catch ABs out - what next??
-
Ofa on - could get interesting from here
-
We're losing the physical stuff and the ruck.
Early sub for Franks
We look utter shit on both sides of the ball
