Italy v All Blacks

[African Monkey]

Strange that Pat Tu'ipulotu avoided a card there.

[ACT Crusader]

Not without the TMO doing his best to try and convince the ref to make a YC

[Billy Tell]

Rugby needs to realise that constant tmo reviews does not make for a good spectacle. That was a nothing. The tackle from lomax made Italian change direction.

He was trying to drop his tackle height

[ACT Crusader]

online commentary (nz stuff) "Tuipulotu collected an Italian player with his shoulder hitting the head, but it was a very low degree of danger, with a change of direction, so it is just a penalty."

I agree.

The whole “trying to drop height” has never been a reason.

A lot of players need to be shown the door to be honest.

If things dont improve next year, then hopefully the coaching team will be shown the door too.

On paper, the All Blacks have by far the better bench. Hopefully, it will make a positive impact.

[Jet]

why was Savea compelled to release that poach?

[Jailbreak7]

Christ on a bike this is truly an awful spectacle

Oh yes, the efficient, fast-acting NZR.

Between the conditions, our performance, the referee, the commentary team (outside McTainsh) and the punditry, this might be the most henious test match ever.

[Jailbreak7]

Fucksake another YC

Yes, hopefully, but one would expect the same would be said of the starting team.
