[2015 RWC] Semi Final 2: Australia vs. Argentina (25/10/2015)

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Game.

 

[Kiwi_]

Yet another good call from Barnes who saw that he had come some way to make that tackle and solely used his shoulder! Premeditated foul and deserving YC......

Wayne Barnes is bloody terrible and the fact the English can't acknowledge this or accept it still keeps you behind in the sport. You think he's a good ref? Bloody hell your guys vision of the game is skewed.

 

[ncurd]

I'd have agreed with you if he didn't raise his left arm to attempt a tackle. I can't see how you can say it is premeditated Tony.

Isn't using one arm a feeble attempt at trying to show you made a tackle.

Should say I think it's a pretty harsh yellow just can see why it was adjudged as one.

 

[Kiwi_]

Someone is a little aggro this morning. The game has flowed well so far. Not sure what you're complaining about... They've been giving yellows for those sorts of tackles all tournament

Bunch of nonsense SANZAR, that's not a yellow card at all.

 

[Tony Manx]

I'd have agreed with you if he didn't raise his left arm to attempt a tackle. I can't see how you can say it is premeditated Tony.

I mean he had the time that Folau had in running the fifteen yards into a position for the tackle to be made. It was not as if Folau had just picked up or received the ball in a pass and was immediately tackled.......

Who are you calling English?

 

[Aspry]

Well, game over. Barnes ****d up but nevertheless amazing performance by Australia, they surely deserved to be on the final.

 

[nero]

The match has flowed very well so far. I don't think that was a yellow, but it was the last slow motion shot that did him in. Barnes was on the fence - then really had no choice.

I wish some posters would chill their Barnes hate. They are also the ones espousing how the AB's would run away with the other semi final in the second half if i recall correctly. Just the worst kind of one-eyed fans.

Anyway, really going for Aussie because I love their free flowing style, but go Argentina!! Cracking game so far.

Well, game over. Barnes ****d up but nevertheless amazing performance by Australia, they surely deserved to be on the final.

They're not amazing. Teams have bent over and made them look good. Pathetic soft tries from Argentina in the first 10 minutes and another Wayne Barnes speciality has ruined SF 2.

 

[Bluemoon]

I mean he had the time that Folau had in running the fifteen yards into a pouting for the tackle to be made. It was not as if Folau had just picked up or received the ball in a pass and was immediately tackled.......

He got low, he didn't get his arms up in time. What you are saying his he decided to hit him with the shoulder. I can't see that, but we aren't in his head so we'll never know!

 

[TommiG88]

What a shame. Nearly a great try.

 

[nero]

Well, game over. Barnes ****d up but nevertheless amazing performance by Australia, they surely deserved to be on the final.

It ain't over by a long shot.

 

[bjarg]

Knock on???????????????

 

[marianodan]

What knock on??? WHAT KNOCK ON????? SON OF A B****

 

[Aspry]

La concha puta de tu madre Barnes

 

[RoosTah]

That was a massive let off for the Wallabies. The game would have looked very different at 16-19

 

[Pampas]

Why dont they just tell us they want AB - OZ final???

 

[RoosTah]

They're not amazing. Teams have bent over and made them look good. Pathetic soft tries from Argentina in the first 10 minutes and another Wayne Barnes speciality has ruined SF 2.

lol you're just ****** off because you have an irrational hatred of the Wallabies that sees you tip literally every team we play against and it's starting to annoy you that the Wallabies won't fall over.

 

[FNS]

Ty Barnes. We are playing badly. He does not help.

 

[bjarg]

Come on barnes... the wallabies are playing very well and are perfectly capable of winning without your help.

 

[cardassian]

Argentina still in with a shot at half time, have shown they are dangerous but haven't executed well.Need to score first in the 2nd half to bring the scores close and then it's game on.
