So if Argentina hadn't scored, surely it's PT and YC? So why does that cancel out the YC?
Jaco said penalty only for the tackle.

Take away that tackler and it's a walk in...

Hodge is podge.
Hodge is the player we wish Bridge could be.

Yeah but the try was awarded. The disparity you're pointing at I get, but that's a vagary of the law. You'd hate to see everyone YC just because they were last in defence and gave a potential penalty away while still being scored against.

Was a discussion point among refs here for these situations where it is close to the line - how do you stop their forward momentum without going over the shoulder?

@antipodean who the fuck do you think you are. I would love to see every wallaby carded.

Wallaby bench pretty average tonight.
Not helped by Petaia breaking. Again.

Hooper is a cracking player but I wonder if he'd come up through the NZ system if he'd have ended up as an international 12 or 13.
We made a scrumhalf a fullback/ five-eighth...

Too small. No kicking game ...

I don't really like the reasoning that because I can't stop a player by legal means then I can turn to illegal means. So weak scrums should be allowed to collapse? Defending teams can pull down mauls? Etc

Meh ... might have gone pen try there ... but full time, who cares

Can see why Arnold & Skelton are coming back into the fold , Matt Philip just does get any gain line, honest footballer but nothing more.
Wallabies will be disappointed they did not completely shut the Pumas out. -

Not saying that at all.
If a player is driving low and hard that you're going to end up with a seatbelt situation in a lot of cases. Happens a lot around the field on the pick n go but, like a lot of things, isn't analysed as much as a TMO review in pro games.
At amateur level i.e. the refs I'm talking about, it is mostly going to go unpenalised

In theory he's more underweight at 7? I think he's about 101-2kg now.
I'm assuming a redirect during schoolboy levels or before Super Rugby.
Hoskins Sotutu in Rugby World "I started as a winger, then moved to lock at 17, then six, wing, second-five. My last year at school I played No 8. My first year out of school I played first-five for Marist and now I’m settled as No 8"
