Penalty try?

It seems that it's only a shoulder charge if you make contact with the head?

Clever (or lucky) by Lavanini to get that other arm up, bit odd by Peyper to buy that an arm "attempting to wrap" that is opposite the shoulder making the hit is worth anything though.

[Bones]

Itv commentator with a good point - why was Peyper in such a hurry and why only one camera angle?

[Duluth]

Sumo mentioned how there was almost a balk on that Tongan throw. I thought he did that a couple of times in the first half

Tonga holding on here keeping them scoreless in the 2nd half.

A couple of huge hits too

[Stargazer]

Awesome try from Veainu.

[African Monkey]

Time for Tonga to start playing Fukofuka more. He adds so much more with ball in hand than Takalua does.

[Billy Tell]

Argentina are a shadow of the 2015 side. France and England should progress from the pool.

28-12 final score. Good effort from Tonga to stay in the fight in the 2nd half but at the same time the Argies left a lot of points out there.

Great first try from Argentina and excellent finish for the second Tonga try.

Result as expected, margin less so.

Argentina will have to have their game of the season to get even close to beating England.

[Stargazer]

[MiketheSnow]

Yep.

Just watched it again.

Absolute joke all round.

Peyper blown his chance for a final.

Thank fuck.

[mikey07]

Clear penalty try I can’t believe he just blew it off as him wrapping his arms. He has form for this sort of stuff.

A very poor non-decision for what should’ve been a penalty try.

[Stargazer]

IMO, Lavanini should get a Citing Commissioner Warning for that (so basically an off-field yellow card).

Peyper questioned the TMO, who assured him there was definitely a wrap. I don't think Peyper is the one that WR will be singling out for that non-decision.

The TMO is there to advise. Peyper could have overruled him.

Poor all round.
