RWC: Argentina v Tonga (Pool C)

[African Monkey]

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.

[MiketheSnow]

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.

[MiketheSnow]

Yep.

Just watched it again.

Absolute joke all round.

Peyper blown his chance for a final.

Thank fuck.

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.

Extended highlights:

[ACT Crusader]

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.

@Damo I thought Peyper was the one who said there was an arm wrapping?

Tonga were asleep first 40. Then remembered they were Tonga.

Some nice stuff from them but not enough of it consistently.

[NTA]

England aren't going to have any trouble with Argentina by the looks
