RWC Week 1: England v Argentina

[Bones]

Only fair if the Argentina yellow is upgraded now

[Billy Tell]

Can’t believe that was red.

@chimoaus depends if the judiciary ban him and for how long

@chimoaus said in RWC: England v Argentina:

Is that Curry out for the World Cup and can’t be replaced?

2-3 games out, I guess.

[MiketheSnow]

Correct call

Arg should be YC

But they may fold and even it up

Argentina's originally contact didn't look like to the head and the contact was a lot less. The player sort of pulled out.

[Stargazer]

@hydro11 Not "just fell". He jumped. Who jumps, come down again and you can foresee that. He took the risk anyway. I don't like the law, but it's pretty clear.

Well they do have Farrells lawyer so who knows.

[Mackerzzzz]

Complete bullshit what was he supposed to do?

[Stargazer]

@Mackerzzzz Not try to tackle a player who is coming down from a jump?

[MiketheSnow]

Tackle the other 66 inches of the player

This is just another example of needing the traffic light system. England should be able to replace after 20.

[chimoaus]

I have to say this is like watching two lepers fight.

[African Monkey]

@Stargazer Did Caleb Clarke get red carded for the exact same thing for the Blues v Moana in 2022 ir was that a yellow? I can't quite remember but I feel like you would haha.

[Stargazer]

The Argie's card stays yellow.

[chimoaus]

Why not take the scrum, that was so stupid by Argentina.

[Stargazer]

@African-Monkey Yes, he did get red. But those cards were 20 minute-reds.

[MiketheSnow]

Why the fuck do commentators feel the need to whitter when the ref is talking to a player?

So fucking annoying

[MiketheSnow]

FFS Earl

Should be automatically substituted for that shit

[chimoaus]

Looks like both these teams read from Fozzies playbook, just non stop contestables.

Finally Argentina do something different and kick it out and now England under pressure.
