RWC Week 5: England v Samoa

[Catogrande]

We were out last night and didn’t get to see the game and won’t bother today. The outcome was just so predictable. We are a shit show under Borthwick.

Fucking robbed
Hate that shit

Welcome to the party! Where were you 3 or 4 weeks ago?

I was here

Commented on how much Carley missed for both sides; how Fiji still had the chance to win but blew it; and how Carley should be sent home

It’s all there in black & white

Extra points if an English ref:

Only if you're also part of the home nations (or France).

You surprised me with your restraint. A lesser poster might have looked at that Getty image and remarked "Boy, Tintin has really let himself go, hasn't he?"

[booboo]

Have a bit of time for Ross Tucker ... like him though am not sure how you measure this ...

Good on them

Oh fuck off. No clear and obvious knock on. Fuck this shit

Watching it back now.

This is a picture of a man about to be fucked up the arse by his TMO, and knows there is no lube left ...

Had there been no TMO there would have been no complaints. Progress?

[pakman]

Anyone seen a clip of Samoan yellow card? Heard Faz was complaining about a tackle with the shoulder.

Lol that would be funny. I'll let you know once I get there

[NTA]

Gotta say, that disallowed try was controversial but Sopoaga has missed important kicks for touch, which aren't helping.

Farrell was taken off the ball around 56 minutes but no angle showing head contact

[NTA]

Sopoaga having a pretty ordinary game. 63 minutes in and he should have been yanked at 50.

[NTA]

OMG that's a nothing penalty for "off the ball" at 63:01. Fuck me the TMO in this match is as bad as Jonker

[NTA]

Oh right that's the one where Farrell exceeds the shot clock

[NTA]

And stupid from Samoa 13 taking Farrell in the air. He's also made some very ordinary decisions this game

[NTA]

Poor decision from Samoa to pack their 23 on the flank. Gave Care a free run in. Should have scrummed with 7 in the scrum and a full back line

[NTA]

Sopoaga drops it, and probably the game

[NTA]

And 20 drops the game again with the line in sight

[antipodean]

I can not believe the TMO came in after the conversion attempt to rule out that try when Itoje's hand is clearly on the ball.

If I was Mapusua I'd blow up deluxe. It's not even like England were arguing about it.
