Australia vs England (2nd Test) - 09/07/22

[ncurd]

Aussie commentator has no idea what the laws are....

 

[Crash Hamster]

Cover? What cover?

Personally, I don't think that was yellow or a DKO, but if it was, it's a penalty try.

Ludicrous.

 

[Rinkadink]

Lol how is Hill's anything like that Hills was in his chest

Is this Mr. Class A okay talking? Makes sense now.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

9 was covering across, there was still an England player between him and Freeman but I think he'd have made it as he was going full speed and Freeman was at a standstill and had 22m to go
Penalty try has to be a definite try not a probable

Ludicrous.

His arm is outstretched there no way he's catatching it.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Listening through Aussie TV. They are raging about this being a deliberate knock on. How do they not understand the rules as professional commentators?
He was never in a position to regather the ball and you simply have to referee in this way otherwise players can always "go for the intercept", knock it on and say oh well I tried..
why is this so hard for professional commentators to grasp?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Billy V casually strolling forward with an Aussie hanging off him. This is the Billy we've been missing.

 

[Rinkadink]

why is this so hard for professional commentators to grasp?

Oh, they understand. It just doesn't benefit their cause at this moment in time.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

What was the forwards doing you are meant to protect the ball first not line up for the try line

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Aussies knocking that ball on in the turnover...

It's not like this isn't how it's been reffed for years....

If you have an outstretched hand and you just knock it forwards with zero ability to control the ball your getting done for DKO.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Smiths kicking so good using the Aussie head to deflect it into space

 

[Bada-Bing!]

So frustrating. Nowell catching that ball at a stand still. No momentum.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was poor from Nowell, never had the gas to go outside just meant an easier tackle into touch

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Our line outs been a bit pants today

 

[BrokenWing]

Nice secure stadium Wi-Fi login details on the wall behind Eddie there..

 

[Crash Hamster]

Full Buffalo Girl, there...

 

[Rinkadink]

Why are Sky TV giving out results of other matches during this one? Especially stupid given kick off time on a Saturday and chances people recorded other ones and will watch later.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

How is there only 31 minutes played at 11:47?

Late start...dunno if there was a reason for that.
