RWC: Wales v Uruguay (Pool D)

[Victor Meldrew]

Jeez Wales, if you're going to show-off and try to do a Perenara, don't drop the fucking ball over the tryline

[Stargazer]

Should have made one of the Teros MotM.

Halfpenny motm, didn't even know he was playing.

Class act. Reminds a lot of Mils.

[antipodean]

Play on? Surely that was tackled in the air?

No arms tackle by 20.

Gardner better not get a quarter final. He's terrible.

[cgrant]

It's a joke. I would have given it to Arata, the Uruguayan halfback whose clearing kicks gave his team a lot of relief.

He's got it now, but it should be play on. For me, a player who jumps to catch a pass is putting himself in danger.

[Stargazer]

Considering the shit warm-up games Uruguay played in preparation of the RWC, they've really done a great job.

[Victor Meldrew]

Can't read too much into this game, but Uruguay have looked pretty good.

I agree, but ever since Sinckler managed to get a Lions tour drawn by it, apply the laws consistently.

Best of the second tier nations

[antipodean]

And now Davies takes a quick tap from the side of the ruck.

[NTA]

No fucking way was that guy on his feet

[Stargazer]

A f*ck. Wales didn't deserve another try.

Haha, and the commentator calls Wales the only undefeated team of pool play. Yeah, heck, some games were cancelled.

It's a dilemma isn't it. Should the ref enforce a dumb interpretation merely for consistency's sake? Or is that just a ref making a dumb interpretation?

There is no principle of stare decisis in rugby.

[booboo]

Who is the fuckwit commentator?

"Wales the only unbeaten team at Rugby World Cup 2019"...

Ummm...
England?
New Zealand?
Japan (to date)?

Really dumb thing to say. Were NZ, England and France not "undefeated".

[cgrant]

Poor from Gardner there. This try should have not been awarded as Davies clearly did not tapped from where the infringement took place.

And the other guy was not on his feet

I think I see the fan that some of you were talking about earlier.

I don't think a player jumping to catch something because he has to to reach it is the same as jumping into a tackle.
