Wallabies v France 3

[Mick Gold Coast QLD]

Bloody dope throwing his arm about in triumph before securing the reason to triumph – childish. Score first sonny, celebrate (briefly) after that.

[Stargazer]

The thing is, they change the laws so often, that it's not only difficult for rugby fans to understand, but also difficult to adjust for players and to officiate for referees.

It's just odd as we have had these rules for a number of years now and I haven't really seen any reduction. If anything I have come to expect yellows every game.

They changed the framework 2 years back and now it's a focus

But every game seems to have different rulings.

Interpretations 😉

That's why they call them Laws of Rugby not Rules of Rugby

Swinton has been good.

Yes but you cant have interpretations that big like that. 99% of decent refs would hardy call that a penalty

High tackle by Mr Hollywood.

Hooper pressuring the ref brilliantly there

Is it a Hollywood if you get a shoulder to the jaw with force?

[Stargazer]

There's no way that should even be a penalty.

[chimoaus]

Credit to Wallabies, ruck work has been pretty good.

It is if you grab your forehead instead of your jaw

He grabbed his nose.

@nta I've never seen a judge on the field, so I feel like they're just trying excuse less than consistent applications of the law

Walk out of it fine a 10 seconds later fall over holding your eyes?... I'd say yes

Sorry but how was that not Aussie ball after the maul?

From a kick.

If we had the 20 minute rule we would be back to 15 each around now which seems fair.

Which would be sanity.
