Scrumhalf's "failed intercepts". Ruck turnovers where the player doesn't support their own weight, has another go at the ball.
Yeah, no way Ball should have won that penalty despite what the comms said. I thought WR was getting strict with players putting their hands on the ground in front of the ball before attempting to grab the ball. That directive has obviously been ignored in this game and others at the RWC so far.
Wales are looking slick when they move the ball at speed.
But.
Was carbon copy of a PK against Wales, so no point banging the T1 bias drum for that one. Been consistent.@Rapido said in RWC: Wales v Georgia (Pool D):

Would like to have seen a replay on the hit on Adams?
-
Great driving maul from Wales
Deft from Biggar but knocked on from L Williams
-
Yellow for Georgia

Hmmm
No collapse and that would have been a try regardless of what the ref ruled
-
Why is a collapse a couple of metres out only a penalty at one end and a yellow at the other? Both mauls made good ground?

Because Wales turned the maul over and were advancing away from their goal line. Ref got it wrong

Except that shouldn't make a difference. He had ruled out a try being probable given the number of defenders around. So all you are left with is 2 collapsed mauls.

Yep. Got it wrong twice.
On his decision, Wales had repelled the Georgian maul and was advancing.
If Wales hadn't collapsed the maul - his interpretation - then Georgia would have been further away from the Wales try line.
The opposite when Wales were advancing towards the Georgian line
-
Owens off injured. Hopefully not serious
-
Dumb tactics from Wales.
Should have kept it high tempo not attritional

@MiketheSnow maybe just doing enough to get the job done bigger games to come

More chance of injury when you make it a contact game, defending rather than attacking

@MiketheSnow seems like a few NH teams are pacing themselves getting used to the Humidity maybe

Wales finally start creating again
North grubber through for Tomos Williams
Wales 36 - 7 Georgia
66 mins gone -
Great try from Georgia.
Reserve scrum half has made a big difference
Wales 36 - 14 Georgia
69 mins gone -
Georgia's defensive work outside of set play is remarkably good. They've got some individual talent too.
Biggest difference between the two is the Welsh backline runs onto good passes and makes good decisions.
I suspect after the week they've had, they'll be happy to get the win, put the controversy behind them and look at the next opponent.

They're a good team.
Could easily knock over Fiji.
Would rather see them than Italy in the 6N.
Happy to make it 7N
