Wales v Australia

[Rebound]

@bones so the guy gets a red card for bad tackle technique. I mean it was head on head

[The Irishman]

Never a red imo either, very poor decision and good game ruined now. Wales should sail through this game.

Beard is 6’ 5”

On the hoof maybe 6’ 2”

You go head on head at that height you deserve to go

Fucking hell. Yellow at best. Shithouse. No mitigation my arse.

Shit tackling technique

High, hard, dangerous

Just desserts

Definitely shit technique, but the lock definitely dipped and also lead with the head. YC to make him think about it. No doubt he put himself in a shit position with the officials so can't complain but to say there's no mitigation is bollocks.

Tackler made initial contact with the opponent's head. Only going to be one outcome.

With his head, not shoulder or arm.

Stupid from Beale

[akan004]

Agree with the yellow. Mehrts having a good whinge but he's wrong, Beale was at fault.

[Rebound]

@bones clearly nobody is caring about the fact that it was a head on head collision. I mean what are we saying if there's another head on head it's yellow for the tackler if there's no damage done

[MiketheSnow]

Great lineout move and perfect timing of the pass from Tomos Williams

Wales 13-10 Aus
24 mins

@bones Doesn't matter. Make direct contact with the opponent's head without mitigation and it's a Red Card these days.

[SidBarret]

Just switch on, 13all, did I miss anything important?

Except that there was clearly mitigation. You can't possibly make a case that the Welsh player was upright and wasn't leading with the head.

Australia getting no love from this jumped up little Scotsman ,only officiating one team in my book

[Steven Harris]

If that’s a high tackle ,Rugby really is a joke it’s not on the body ..it’s on the collar of the jersey

[akan004]

Wow can't believe that call against Australia.

[sparky]

Has no one told the Wallabies that you should play to the whistle? Try, Wales.

Ball went back. Ref got that right.

[ACT Crusader]

@sparky you’re as blind as the ref and the TMO.

Welsh player facing his try line and he then picks it up at his feet. That is knocked on and deliberate at that. Penalty against Wales.

[MiketheSnow]

Ref has no clue scrum time

Wales should have been penalised off the park
