RWC Week 4: Japan v Samoa

[Billy Tell]

Ben lam has had a horror of a match. That will go to red.

[Mattasaurus]

so this should stay YC too?..... as player dropped in to it.... i genuinely don't know what to expect... (its RC for me as no need to be that high at all)

[booboo]

Lam will be red

[Bovidae]

More BS from the TMO over what meets a RC. Horie should have been having an early shower.

[MiketheSnow]

Christ when are they going to learn

Really enjoying the match

Think Samoa’s chance May have gone

[MiketheSnow]

If Japan had played like this against England they would have beaten them

[BorderJB]

This whole yellow card thing for HC isn't working.
Just make it an after match review and stand down the player down for the next game, stop ruining the contest!!!

Has now

[Jailbreak7]

Have they forgotten to check for HIAs now

[Steven Harris]

The inconsistencies in and around cards beggars belief

[Bovidae]

Jonker the Plonker strikes again. No consistency across the games.

[Machpants]

How did the ref and liney miss that?

[Jailbreak7]

Hes older now but Leitch still looks like he could have slotted into the ABs for leadership qualities alone.

[MiketheSnow]

Based on this performance I can see Japan beating Argentina and going through

[Mattasaurus]

no its consistent..... consistently inconsistent..... just a farking mess -literally brings game in to disrepute..

Not for one moment am I defending the head contacts - but I struggle to see how they consistently fark it up

[Stargazer]

I really don't understand how Horie's card stayed yellow, but Lam's gets upgraded to red. IMO both should have received red.

Jonker is not the bunker ref. If you’re going to give out at least know how the system works.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer you and me both

I do, and I am not condoning it. There was a slight dip in Horie's case, head to head. Lam's was a straight shoulder to head with a higher degree of danger.

It has to come back to the human factor -- unconscious bias vs conscious bias.... I personally think there is a bit of both at play...

Remember its only a few weeks ago Farrell got down graded .......and then consider some of the non-citing's ...... Its a bloody mess
