RWC Week 3: Scotland v Tonga

[MajorRage]

World Rugby need to explain why that wasnt a red.card. Looked stone cold red to me.

[sparky]

Scotland leading easily know 24-10.

[sparky]

Try Tonga. Big Ben powers over. 24-15.

[stodders]

@MajorRage utterly confused now. Complete lottery now it seems

[Darren]

Yep. 100% red. How can it not be?

[sparky]

Conversion over 24-17.

[Jailbreak7]

Apparantly, Fizzzy eeee hoy! Is on the pitch

[sparky]

Scotland score. 31-17.

[Jailbreak7]

How many SA do Scotland need ffs

[game_film]

Can’t take this competition seriously. Dude will be cited and cop 3.

[mantissanet]

We don’t see enough of that actually in my book. Couple minutes before the end Scotland being marched back 10 for backchat. But honestly some of the other calls on this match were demoralising….

@Billy-Tell Yes I was just thinking we let him go too early. Similar for Fekitoa.

We didn't let him go, we just couldn't afford him. He was offered double+ what our top abs were on. If he got paid that, so would everyone else have to be

Four seems to have done the trick. Don’t forget the Tongan too.

Watching the highlights, not having seen the game. Vaea Fifita, how stupid was that "clean-out"? Deserved red card. The yellow card for Afusipa Taumoepeau I can understand because the sudden dip will be a cause for mitigation, but Fifita's was blood red all day.

Tonga looks like a poorly coached team.

I only saw highlights but Big Ben still looks more mobile than our props.

Reminiscent of a young Bill Cavubati charging in for that try…..and yeah, making Nepo and Ofa look like a pair of Easter Island statues.

Those two South African Scottish wingers sure are dangerous. Particularly DVDM, that try he set up was class, shades of Jonah in that one ( more so than Caleb Clarke has shown at any rate )

Didn't Hansen tell him to lose weight to be more mobile?

Looks like he added 20kgs and still is a machine

[Stargazer]

@bayimports His weight has been very up and down. This is from November 2019.

Ben Tameifuna ordered to lose weight after returning to Racing at 25 stone

According to reports in France, Tameifuna tipped the scales at 160kg when he reported back to the Racing 92 after the Rugby World Cup.
