Are you not allowed to do that? I remember Gear giving one of those a beauty a few years ago

ON reflection he is fending with a forearm and closes fist.

Penalty.

[Kirwan]

Hope Oz can come back a bit, don’t want this game to be ruined on one call

[ARHS]

That was a shocking call against Kerevi!

[Stockcar86]

I can imagine whoever is running the Aussie commentary team sending a runner out for a bigger box of blood pressure pills for Kearns after that last 10 minutes

[Machpants]

Wasn't the refcall that caused will to pass it to Wales for the second time tho

then the aussies switch off and concede a try.

Yep. Crap decision on the Kerevi penalty, but an unforgivable lack of concentration from Oz.

[Damo]

It was a dubious call, but then Genia throws an even more dubious pass and suddenly the game is getting away from OZ.

I hope this doesn't descend into ref bashing because Wales are deserving of their lead. The have been between 10-15 points better.

[mariner4life]

Good comment from Hoiles. All the TMO and that half took an extra 10 minutes.

The press tomorrow should be interesting. I feel like a great game of rugby has been tarnished with one inexplicable decision

Was about the fourth terrible pass from Oz too

[westcoastie]

@Damo Wales better, but not 15pts better.

[akan004]

Didn't Birsmark get a yellow which turned to red for something similar? Not saying that I agree with the call. Should be play on.

[Tim]

Was the Welsh player onside for the intercept? Would like to see a replay.

[Damo]

@Damo Wales better, but not 16pts better.

Agreed.

Not 16 points better. I was thinking 10-15 points better.

[Siam]

5 minutes to check an "illegal carry".

No time to check the inside of a rare and difficult intercept of a halfback pass.

Great way to spoil what's been a great RWC, publicaly tell the refs they need to lift their game and watch them fret over chest contacts all game.

[antipodean]

The dubious call was only three points. What hurt was the loopy pass to a forward pod that wasn't even set up.

For all the crying about carrying into contact, that's entirely self inflicted.

@booboo said in RWC: Australia v Wales (Pool D):

Rubbish call

That @booboo guy is an idiot.

Kerevi led with a forearma and closed fist.

Just showed, looked online with his other players. Whether that line was inside is another question

[No Quarter]

They never show a clear replay to confirm if he was onside or not. Annoying.

I think he was well offside horrendous ref and Skeen as TMO a joke
If that’s a penalty for Kerevi. then the ABs are in danger of a Red card somewhere in this WC.

[sparky]

Wow! What a glorious try from Gareth Davies!

So much moaning and whining from Australia. Wales doing the basics so much better.
