[number9]

This is like the Coles penalty, good call from the ref.

Forward?

As shit

Watch us fuck this

How can the on field decision be a try if he thought it was forward from the hands? Grounding shouldn't matter.

[number9]

So how the fuck was that an on field decision is a try ??????

On field decision is pretty much always try if they see a grounding

[NTA]

Yellow, surely

[chimoaus]

Australia have to score.

[NTA]

@chimoaus time to miss a critical kick

[chimoaus]

I would take a scrum.

Argentinian hooker lucky to avoid one there

[NTA]

Lol at the scratches on Hodge and Paisami's back. It's tough out there

[chimoaus]

Argentina would be happy with the score, Australia should have scored a few times. I suspect the Wallabies will run away with it in second half.

Can they turn off the mike. Tired of Hoopers petulant whinging.

[MrDenmore]

Argentinian defence keeping them in it. But offering not much else. Scrum going backwards.

Prob hard as an Aussie, but as a ref what do you think of Hoopers continual whining at everything? Might just be because it’s mic’d but it’s totally ruining the game for me.

@kev Hooper is an absolute mong but his frustration is understandable IMO. That's clearly an extremely cynical play on the goal-line stopping Australia have an attacking play with advantage. After several other penalties.

No-decision is worse than Berry and AFG

He was definitely wrong on a couple of those calls, and that would be irritating.

However, his point at the end there was valid: "i just want to know what direction you've given them because that may alter how the Wallabies play down the red zone".

Williams was slow in explaining himself

[KiwiMurph]

@NTA he may have more luck with Williams if he 'managed ' the ref better instead of coming across like a whiney bitch.

The big problem with always penalising the player who reacts is that you never get the player who did the thing in the first place. The play is never checked if no one reacts but if someone does react, the reactor is penalised. This lets one team antagonise the other with no consequences.

Australia should run away with this in the second half. Argentina have not offered a lot apart from dogged defence. Our problem last week was clearly conceding too many penalties in our own half and giving them easy points.
