[2020 RC/Tri Nations] Round 2: Australia V New Zealand (Bledisloe 4) (7/11/2020)

[GoTheNaki]

I like how the media coverage is just looking for cards.

 

[The Seeker]

At this rate they'll be playing sevens before the game is over.

 

[Aristodemus]

The guy speaking before the game called it rugby league, might be 13 v 13 soon!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

These sides are going to have an aneurysm when they next play with a NH referee - rucks are an absolute shambles

 

[Ospervat]

I think the AB's need to be careful with their off the ball antics - a bit of aggression is ok but they're pushing the envelope.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Koribete very unlucky there.

Aye, I was surprised that last penalty wasn't reversed - guess the yellow card took attention away

And the one before when ALB was shoving white

That's bait.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

No complaints for either red card there, can't allow tackles like that.

 

[GoTheNaki]

Aussie player literal downward momentum, falling over, have a gander at that replay at half-time in your Hemisphere if it shows it.

Sky explaining it very well. Turn it on if you're still confused

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Completely escaped me that Akira would go off for the remainder of the game when he was replaced by Lomax - so used to that kind of replacement only being for 10 minutes. Gotta feel for him a bit, real waste of a debut.

 

[The Seeker]

And the one before when ALB was shoving white

White is always whining to the refs like a little beyotch. I don't like him.

Odd, weren't you confused about Koribete's yellow? How many more inches lower into the guys fall do you reckon he had to be for it to be "mitigated"?

Not confused, just thought it was harsh, ruck was a mess anyway but ref had called a warning I guess.

Again, he had to drop an amount that would be unexpected (say he was tackled from behind at the same time too for example). He was just stepping and carrying as one would expect. People don't run upright

Kiwi lines him up, starts at chest height and rises up before connecting shoulder to chin and there wasn't much of a dip. I don't want to play a game where that's not a red to be honest, I like my brain.

 

[The Seeker]

I really like the english that Barrett just put on that kick. It looked nice.

 

[Groundhog]

Both of those are red cards. Bit rough on the kiwi, because the player was falling, but his tackle height has to be lower and its force to the head.

Nah... I'm not happy with that and I have no idea how to GIF my screen... I've literally got the SkyGO website and can go back within this game, he does not "rise up", he stands flat and the guy is falling down approaching his tackle.
