RWC Week 5: France v Italy
-
If World Rugby can't see the monster they've created with the TMO and the head contact rules, they can fuck right off.
@Victor-Meldrew I guess with the huge French market, large crowds, WR will think there is nothing wrong.
Odd the comms are creaming themselves over anything the French do.

@taniwharugby not odd at all. They’ve been doing it since the beginning of the World Cup. Dupont is the greatest player ever seen and France are the anointed champions (unless there’s an Irishman in the studio). All a bit nauseating.

@Victor-Meldrew to them, it is either this or whopping lawsuits. So we get this. And it is making it difficult to keep watching. But I’m sure there are thousands more new viewers/participants waiting in the wings to watch/play this version of the game.

Really was quite a sensational decision to overrule the try. The TMO was 100% going to go back as far as he could to find any sort of infringement. Wouldn't mind but France were offside about 5 times in the preceding phases and entered 2 rucks from miles offside.

@MajorRage the halfback was already clearing out an Italian around the head. Muppets
It's not just the inconsistency of the penalty/card decisions, it's the randomness of the TMO intervention which makes the whole thing a bloody lottery.

I feel like I’m watching AFL or netball, the amount of times I heard that whistle today, the difference is in those games play continues quickly

Captain wasn’t happy being subbed

Reckon the English refs have got an inside joke on who can have the best shocker and get away with it? He's trying to outdo Carley eh.
They see Barnes as a cult hero

Wasn't that the year there was supposed to be a RWC but it was cancelled?
