      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 .

          Can’t believe that’s a penalty.

          It’s like they keep looking in the hope they can pull out a YC.

                    The game is fucked if a clean clear out at a ruck is penalized

                          I’m turning it off.

                          If Jonker wanted to, I’m sure he could find something similar in that maul to penalize France.

                              @MajorRage the halfback was already clearing out an Italian around the head. Muppets

                                  If World Rugby can't see the monster they've created with the TMO and the head contact rules, they can fuck right off.

                                    What a load of shit - I now hate France more than Ireland and England.

                                    No TMO intervention to look at the maul .. something smells

                                    I have had enough I am not watching anymore of this match - its a farce and the fluffy commentators are treating it like champagne rugby.... hope there are considerable French tears in the finals

                                      Whats worse the two assistant refs seemed to be pleading with him not to call it.

                                        @bayimports I guess the issue there is, the TMO is there to rule on foul play, he saw somethign worthy of foul play, pretty sure he wanted a card, so I guess thats what he is there for?

                                        Problem is, he was wrong.

                                          The French crowd are a bunch of fluffybunnies, just as bad as the Irish.
