I say it when other teams do it but the corner is a stupid decision with the scoreboard like that whatever the result.

Best player on the pitch going off..

And I've said it before and I'll say it again a YC at 5 meter line must mean a penalty try in my book.

Why do teams with their foot on the throat stop what's working and try a hail mary as soon as they get a penalty advantage.

British media: Any story here? No? Doesn't matter, we'll make something up.

British media: "There was a game of sport on the weekend. No one went because the weather was awful. Here's a ad for Tea."

"ford might as well see what he can do here" (kicks)
No, just because you have a penalty advantage doesn't mean it's not a waste of possession to kick terribly.

 

[Spuds100]

Cheika how dare the ref penalise our team!

This is how Cheika always comes across. Like "I know the rules, but I didn't think they also applied to my team!?!!!"

This guy gets it

Sio repeatedly hinging or going to ground, how the **** does he get away with it? He literally does it in every scrum in every game.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Who the **** made the call for the dropgoal there?!

 

[barthelemy]

I do not understand the offside on the invalidated try of Hooper, the australian winger kick the ball (OK hooper is off side at that moment) and then it looks to me (but sky sport is not showing again the action) that the first australian chasing the kick touches the ball a tiny bit with his foot before Hooper retrieves it and score the try . This means that Hooper is not offside anymore ??

And the first australian chaser is not offside defo

Well to be fair he's coaching a country whose foundations were famously in not knowing/obeying the rules.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Stuart Barnes and Miles Harrison safely represent the "Pre-banter" era

Your book maybe, but not the law book. I don't see a problem with how things work at the moment personally.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Surely the Aussies collapsed the maul?

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Bizarre minute

 

[Spuds100]

Holy sheet..

 

[ncurd]

Sorry Beale, clearest if deliberate knock ons I've seen in a long time.

 

[Groundhog]

Jesus would Beale not have just tried to catch the thing?
