RWC: Wales v Georgia (Pool D)

@mariner4life said in RWC: Wales v Georgia (Pool D):
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

Great try from Georgia.

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

Brilliant from Tipuric.
Brilliant from T Williams.

@antipodean Yes having two fatties at the back of their lineout and a slow 7 in Gogordze got exploited by the Welsh.

@antipodean I tuned out before halftime expecting a 70pt blowout, and returned to see 36-14. (Then that last try by North - great feet and hands by Williams.)
I suppose a win's a win, like England yesterday, but will Wales be happy to have conceded 14?

@Disgusted-of-TW I wouldn't worry too much about it tbh.

Joel Stransky’s a really good commentator when the Boks aren’t playing

@African-Monkey I didn't see the second Georgia try, was it another pushover?

Quick tap and drive to the line. Well taken

@Disgusted-of-TW Scrum penalty where the Georgian 9 went quickly (not really near the mark but however) and had the Welsh defence backpedaling before being stopped 5 short. They then scored after a few pick and goes close to the line.
