RWC: Wales v France (QF 3)
-
That’s why the French are classed as the best lovers in the world.
Stay on top for 80mins and still come second.

Anyone else notice how many empty seats there were for this one? I wonder why that is
Just a guess, but many of the Japanese fans didn’t want to get stuck in traffic or on the train on the way home and miss any of Japan match.

Moriarty try:
-
I hate getting on the reffing but in close games when you are hot on attack and there are obvious infringements and the ref swallows the whistle, it really does make it tough to watch.
@ACT-Crusader This was the ruck:
-
Could have, and should have, been a night on the piss then Duty Free for Wales.
On a different day and/or a different set of officials Moriarty could have been red carded in the first half.
No argument about the French red.
Haven't seen the alternative angle but now appears the try should have been disallowed.
We played shit. We didn't deserve to go through to the SF.
But we're there.
And we have a week to give ourselves plenty of uppercuts.

Not the best game from your lads Mike, and the Frogs can count themselves unlucky on one or two calls.
But then again they were their own worst enemy with that stupid RC. A real coach killer.On the plus side for Wales, your boys hung in there and managed a victory even when not at your best. Next week you start fresh against my lot. I expect a squeaker.

It's hard to tell from that footage, but it looks to me that any delay is due to Les Bleus.

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.

Sub Barnes in for Peyper and you get this:

I for one am disappointed. SA vs FRA is more appetising than Wales. I haven’t sent anything from Wales this RWC to suggest they’ll beat SA.

Hopefully their coach telling the world he thought they were shit last night fires them up .

Okay so now we have the French out of the rwc on a forward pass and Mark Keohane saying Barnes was awful in the 2007 quarterfinal? What next Phil Kearns admitting he’s been a complete cock about the 2011 final?

I would have liked to see SA v ENG. Reckon that would be a hard battle of similar styles.

It ain't going to happen.

I think he just didn’t want to award the penalty that would have all but lost it for them. Interestingly enough though, he was happy to give the try that lost it for them....

Difference between not having to make a decision and having to make a decision.
That's knockout refereeing. We all know this by now, surely.
Score your points early. If you have to play catchup, you will need to do it via tries and dropgoals. Can't expect (many) kickable penalties in the second half.

Very true. I was just a bit shocked that something pretty clearly a penalty 99% of the time, in 99% of games, is suddenly unplayable.
We’re it reffed that way all the time, I’d have no problem, but all weekend the refs were swallowing their whistles.
It’s also very hard to explain to the visiting crowd (some of which I watched both games yesterday), which isn’t a great ad for the game.
I was also astounded that the try wasn’t pulled back - it seemed very clear from the first angle the place on the field where it left the hands was behind that of the place where the call was caught. It wasn’t like he was passing it out the back of the hands either, it was completely static.
Although I think France were their own worst enemy, I’d be fuming if both of those calls had gone against the ABs.
