Wales v Australia

[Rebound]

@bones clearly nobody is caring about the fact that it was a head on head collision. I mean what are we saying if there's another head on head it's yellow for the tackler if there's no damage done

[MiketheSnow]

Great lineout move and perfect timing of the pass from Tomos Williams

Wales 13-10 Aus
24 mins

[sparky]

@bones Doesn't matter. Make direct contact with the opponent's head without mitigation and it's a Red Card these days.

[SidBarret]

Just switch on, 13all, did I miss anything important?

Except that there was clearly mitigation. You can't possibly make a case that the Welsh player was upright and wasn't leading with the head.

Australia getting no love from this jumped up little Scotsman ,only officiating one team in my book

[Steven Harris]

If that’s a high tackle ,Rugby really is a joke it’s not on the body ..it’s on the collar of the jersey

[akan004]

Wow can't believe that call against Australia.

[sparky]

Has no one told the Wallabies that you should play to the whistle? Try, Wales.

Ball went back. Ref got that right.

[ACT Crusader]

@sparky you’re as blind as the ref and the TMO.

Welsh player facing his try line and he then picks it up at his feet. That is knocked on and deliberate at that. Penalty against Wales.

[MiketheSnow]

Ref has no clue scrum time

Wales should have been penalised off the park

[sparky]

@act-crusader Nope.

[sparky]

Swinging arm from a Welsh player. Card coming?

[voodoo]

How stupid was that. Awesome attacking movement, Wallabies scrambling, and the tit does that

[Bones]

Absolutely no mitigation for the Welsh player. Yellow Australia, red Wales

[sparky]

Yellow card against Gareth Thomas. Reckless. Could easily have been Red.

[Bones]

Fuuuuuuck meeeeee. What an absolute farce. Swinging arm to the head of a prone player on the ground a metre from the breakdown.

What was the mitigation?
