@Tim said in RWC: Wales v France (QF 3):
Damn, Gatland just said "I think the better team lost today."
He actually said that? All this time and I thought he had absolutely no self awareness.
-
Some brutal honesty from Gatland in his after match speech.
-
Interesting from Gatland, that France did things differently to expectations, and Wales weren't prepared

68 minute. 5 metres from Wales line. Right in front of the posts.
There is an absolutely blatant PK for a tackler not rolling away and getting in the way of the ball coming out. The tackler smothers the ball and it gets stuck in the ruck.
Ordinarily, Peyper would have blown the pea off his whistle and awarded a PK to France. Instead, he awards a scrum for unplayable.

Great. It could well be purely frenchies in charge from here. Fuck you Wales.
Nigel won't be reffing the other semi (I don't reckon Peyper will be either) and Barnes won't be reffing ours. Garces could do either.
Assuming that they choose from the four QF refs.
Gardner and Poite would probably be the others who might be considered - they can do both.
Christ on a bike I hope not. Who's the younger of the French refs?
@antipodean Raynal?
I reckon they'll just pick the two of the QF refs - who seem like the four most highly ranked to me.
We won't get Barnes - and I reckon they might try to avoid giving England Garces and us Nigel again - so my money is that we get Peyper.

Social media gone made saying that ball was forward ,
Wouldn’t be a World Cup without some controversy

Boks have to be favourites to win the Cup from here. Whoever wins the England AB semi is going to be battered.

I like your attempt to crawl under the dog that's under the underdog.
ABs happy to see the back of France

How many times do we have to beat them in a World Cup? I think we’ll be pretty pleased to play them?

100% was. Another camera angle mysteriously has appeared.

Think they're a more difficult opponent for you than Wales.
So your winning margin would be less than 12 points in the final

Not that shower of shit. We'd beat them worse than 2015.

I would rather play France than england or South Africa

The camera angle not previously shown made it clear and obvious enough.
French supporters must be furious. Que diable se passe-t-il?

Live I wasn't sure what happened.
I went back and had a look. Peyper says something like "he's stuck in there, he can't get out" but I strongly suggest that if this was a regular game he'd not have accepted that.
An excellent attacking chance was killed. Really had to be a PK.
Perhaps rugby is simply too hard a game to referee when it's top level knockout rugby?
