RWC warmup - England v Wales
-
Farrell has got plenty of previous but also lots of previous that he somehow got off scot-free on. Needs to do some proper bird. Time and time again, he’s shown us who is, at some point you’ve got to believe him. Both of these are going to cleansed in the tourney, just a matter of who and when.
-
Have to be a 3 match minimum with his history, surely?
-
Didn’t he get a ban reduced once before because ‘past good behaviour’ or something?

That’s it exactly. Previous only counts if it was sanctioned. I guess because if that wasn’t the case it would be bringing the judiciary into question.
God forbid that.

How can Wales not beat a side with 12 men on the field?
They were also up by 8 at one point when Eng had 12 men
Yeah. I think the score when we were down 3 men was 7-7?
I really don’t know who takes more from that shit show. Gatland or Borthwick. If Wales had have played with England’s physicality, they’d have won that game and if England’ had played with Wales’ ambition they would have won by 20 points. The Welsh guys ran at gaps, our boys ran into contact. Says everything about how we intend to play.
Oh and discipline. Did I mention that before?

If this Georgian ref gets a knockout game.... fuck me dead.....
Why?
Aside from one dubious YC I thought he had a great game

If it’s not, then World Rugby do not give a fuck about player welfare and we can forget all the changes to the contact area

A couple of decisions aside, I felt he communicated very well, followed through with the warnings he gave and pretty much had zero tolerance for infringement, but without any detriment to the game being played.
This is, in principle, what we’ve all been crying out for and now he gets shit for dishing out too many cards?
Bizarre.

Yeah but… Zander Fagerson. Much more dangerous than what Farrell did. Had previous sanction for exactly the same thing and yet…?

Its going to be very interesting to see how that "hit" is minimised to the minimal sentence they can get away with - considering his record and a suspension earlier this year , and attending "tackle school" this grub should be gone for a minimum of 6 weeks

I only watched until half time because it was pretty fucken dire, but I was extremely impressed by the ref and had meant to find out who it was.
Now the players make the game a shit show and we're blaming the ref again are we?

Considering all the factors that are taken into account, it will probably be four weeks, if he's "unlucky" five. That's assuming he apologised at the earliest time possible and an early guilty plea.

@Stargazer haha apologising, that like when my mum made me apologise to my brother after he taunted me and I smacked him...I didn't mean it, but did it to keep the lawmaker happy...
-
@taniwharugby Yeah, there's nothing genuine about it, but that's how it works.
