RWC Week 1: England v Argentina

[Stargazer]

@hydro11 Not "just fell". He jumped. Who jumps, come down again and you can foresee that. He took the risk anyway. I don't like the law, but it's pretty clear.

@taniwharugby said in RWC: England v Argentina:

@chimoaus depends if the judiciary ban him and for how long

Well they do have Farrells lawyer so who knows.

[Mackerzzzz]

Complete bullshit what was he supposed to do?

[Stargazer]

@Mackerzzzz Not try to tackle a player who is coming down from a jump?

Tackle the other 66 inches of the player

This is just another example of needing the traffic light system. England should be able to replace after 20.

[chimoaus]

I have to say this is like watching two lepers fight.

@Stargazer Did Caleb Clarke get red carded for the exact same thing for the Blues v Moana in 2022 ir was that a yellow? I can't quite remember but I feel like you would haha.

[Stargazer]

The Argie's card stays yellow.

[chimoaus]

Why not take the scrum, that was so stupid by Argentina.

[Stargazer]

@African-Monkey Yes, he did get red. But those cards were 20 minute-reds.

[MiketheSnow]

Why the fuck do commentators feel the need to whitter when the ref is talking to a player?

So fucking annoying

[MiketheSnow]

FFS Earl

Should be automatically substituted for that shit

[chimoaus]

Looks like both these teams read from Fozzies playbook, just non stop contestables.

Finally Argentina do something different and kick it out and now England under pressure.

[taniwharugby]

Matera with elbows down there, lucky

[African Monkey]

@taniwharugby Yeah thought he got the benefit of the doubt there.

[taniwharugby]

We're there any other red cards in other games overnight?

[chimoaus]

Honest question but why don’t we use Hawkeye in rugby for goal kicks and when the player kicks it out? It wouldn’t be hard for some sort of light or mark on the touch line for where the ball went out.

[Stargazer]

Good to see those dives penalised. Now do it consistently.

Once they gave Gussy Ta’avao a ban, Curry had to go.
