France v Australia -
-
Hopefully this is a World Rugby directive, Pearce really strict against players off their feet
-
Australia their on worst enemies after a very good start
-
Australia making easy yards in the backs
-
Kellaway made good ground fairly easily there, slicing through the defence.
-
Australia monstered the French scrum there
-
Gordon misses another one
Fra 13-5 Aus
34 mins -
Great refereeing
McDermott dumb
Ramos extends the lead just when Aus were getting back in to it
Fra 16-5 Aus
36 mins -
@MiketheSnow said in France v Australia -:
Great refereeing
Could easily have become a bad, wrong decision. Great vision from the ref (talking about penalty around 35 mins with Kellaway being taken out in the air by McDermott)
-
Aus needed that
Both their wingers have been excellent
-
Tight call but goes with directive
Sensible
-
Chrissake rugby is really going to have to look at itself after the WC. This level of intervention wont win any new fans. Well handled though by the ref.
-
This refereeing is random. The disparity between the "warm-up" matches has me greatly concerned.
Also, Aus would be doing better if Gordon could kick.
-
Great defence by Vuni
Fra 16-5 Aus
Australia should be much closer
I’ll discipline and stupid errors gifting France an easier ride
Another monster scrum from Aus
-
Fuck
They had a chance there and Kellaway dropped it
-
Fra 16-5 Aus
HalftimeFrance feeding off Aus mistakes
Classic counter punching
Aus trying a little too hard but showing how to open up the French defence
Making yards at will
-
France don't look convincing. Set piece getting bested by Australia and not much else but a very reliable goal kicker so far. Aussies making good metres when they keep the ball in hand, both from staying tight and going wide. Carter Gordon plays as well as his haircut looks.
-
Just watched the first half highlights and that pass from DuPont to Danty for the try looked forward on all angles
One that got away from an officiating team which has been the best this Summer IMHO
