RWC Week 5: France v Italy

[taniwharugby]

@Mattasaurus thier u-gate is working well

[Jailbreak7]

@Mattasaurus They are constantly lying all over the ball on the wrong side of the ruck.

[Mattasaurus]

Honestly would any other team get away with such blatant repeated offsides and laying all over the ball?

Sure as shit ABs wouldnt

[taniwharugby]

now looking for a reason not to award...

There was one ruck in particular that was just ridiculous.

[sparky]

France hammering Italy. The All Blacks will finish 2nd in Group A.

[Damo]

Here comes the TMO.

[Damo]

Nothing wrong with that clearout surely.

[Mattasaurus]

WHat a fucking farce

[taniwharugby]

nothing in that, was a high tackle on Italy 4 or 5 phases earlier

[booboo]

Oh bollocks

[booboo]

Try has to stand

[bayimports]

Jonker should just fuck off

[MajorPom]

That is complete bullshit.

[Mattasaurus]

Our game is utterly fucked .. and I still question if it is just incompetence ....

[booboo]

Fucking bullshit

[gt12]

The TMO is a virus.

Completely random and looks like they have an intention to (1) help the host and (2) help the weaker teams.

[taniwharugby]

rugby is a joke, and not a funny one

[Damo]

That is rubbish. That was a cleanout to the chest. It was an illusion that it was foul play.

I see we're just going to ignore France being 2m offside at every phase.

and they are coming in to the rucks at 3 and 9 o'clock too... pretty poor

And yet we get a France penalty despite multiple offsides and this ruck bullshit.

That's a ruck clearout, play on or penalise the French halfback for clearing out the Italian around the head first .
