[2019 Rugby Championship] Round 3: Australia vs. New Zealand (10/08/2019)

[SomeOke]

Kafer trying very hard to justify this try being disallowed, looked perfectly fine to me.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Aussie 6 and 8 are terrible

8 is terrible yes, but 6? There's not a word for how bad he's been!

8 is terrible yes, but 6? There's not a word for how bad he's been!

Maybe we could just start using 'Salakaia-Lotto' as the word to describe it, like how they used Munson in Kingpin .

Surely there's some more lads with European experience they can bring in?
JOC White Beale and Lealiifano have been the backbone of everything they've done that's good

Edit: Euro-Faf was the catalyst for the Springboks upturn too

Fardy still over there?
He was one of Australia's best before he left

 

[bushytop]

Fardy still over there?
He was one of Australis best bedfore he left

I'd imagine he is quite happy playing winning rugby at Leinster.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Aye aside from Fardy and McMahon, who is there?

It's just a big positional weakness.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Messy game atm.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How is that not a card?
The tackle of the ball is borderline yellow but then add on the shove in the head too??

Looks like this next one may be a yellow though.

Edit. red... there goes my conspiracy theory!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Might be Red.

 

[BobbyM]

That is a mental mental call. The boy Barrett is stumbling there's zero force

 

[ratsapprentice]

Never a red.

10 of them a game.

 

[Al Bangor]

That was a wild and crazy first half. 16-12 Wallabies lead.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Yeah Garces gave exactly the same reasoning when red carding SBW in that second Lions test.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah that's a yellow I would've thought??

 

[bushytop]

What with a 4 point lead... and an extra man, this would take Oz producing a second half of recent England-like proportions for the All Blacks to get the W.

 

[87Dreamer]

Lmao red card, f#&* me

 

[BobbyM]

Yeah Garces gave exactly the same reasoning when red carding SBW in that second Lions test.

Rationale made sense in terms of following the tackling classification map IRB issued. I think the mistake is that he's called the force and intent wrong.

 

[Gavin]

Shoulder to a player's head, always a red card
