RWC QF: Wales v Argentina
-
@MiketheSnow Yes feel for you mate. We constantly shoot ourselves in the foot with the reffing teams. Just a complete and utter lottery. Those decisions could have gone either way. Dire from Jonker, Dickson.

I’ve literally no idea what the ref is going to give anymore. That could have been red, in the end not even a penalty. Weird
It was the decision I'd like to see in a game - no intent. But in the context of how things have been reffed it was mind-boggling.
If something has changed, why haven't we, the punters, been told? Have the players?

@Victor-Meldrew same thing happened in 2019. Card lottery in the pools, then refs lost their cards in the knockout rounds.

If I drive my car at 100 through a school crossing but try to avoid the kids, that's ok because I didn't intend to hit them, right?

I think a better analogy might driving at 30mph near a school crossing expecting to be nicked as you think the speed limit is 20mph, as no-one told you the speed limit had been raised to 30mph.

Agree with Dickson there. Player was held up, he came in legally. ‘Tina player saw it coming and pulled it down leaving Tompkins in the way.
Player came in out of control, at chest height, unsighted, at speed to a breakdown, with people are typically bent to chest height or lower.
Just have some fucking restraint and use your brain.

I'm with you on this. Just. Just, about the right decision but a long way away from any degree of consistency.
My view on the game itself was that it was the Argy breakdown and the Welsh discipline that determined the outcome.

The difference has been the relative impact from the reserves.
The difference was Dickson and Jonker

Fuck that
Have another look
He came at pace, from depth, and hit Tompkins square in the head with a leading shoulder
How can an independent official order Tompkins off for an HIA and the officiating team not even award a penalty?
We get at least a penalty and Argentina don’t score the try
Losing Tompkins for 10 mins killed our backline

Don't disagree it was a shit/weird/mind-boggling decision. If you are going to ref using these guidelines - i.e. no intent - then, FFS, make it clear before you start reffing that way.
My abiding memory of this RWC could well be the standard of officiating. Been poor.
