[RWC2019][Pool D] Round 2 - Australia vs. Wales (29/09/2019)

[Derpus]

Can someone actually explain to me how the last penalty wasn't out? The rule is it has to cross the line?

 

[Derpus]

Because it was kept in by Tomos Williams! Great skill.

The rule.is it has to cross the line not touch the ground

 

[ncurd]

BBC commentary said it was match of the tourny so far. Was it really better than Ire V Jpn?

 

[Rinkadink]

Fair result, one of the best games of the tournament again. Knock out stages are going to be something.

Mate if the right team is the one that dropkick in the first 30 seconds rugby is dead

Haha, oh dear. Never mind.

 

[Derpus]

Great so rugby is now box kicks and drop kicks.

League it is.

That's a bitter comment if ever I saw one. Wales played plenty of rugby in this game. Really took it to the Wallabies in the first half, and played some good stuff.

Arguably, yes. Quality was higher IMO.

 

[bushytop]

Massive, MASSIVE... MASSIVE performance from the Welshmen. I predicted that we'd need to get an early lead and have try and hold on but how they held on in that second half was just inspirational stuff.

We will get used to these Japanese conditions the more games we play... but that second 40 will definitely contribute to some lung expansion for the later games.

Navidi was immense, Davies was dangerous, Biggar was brave, Patchell was bordering on great... Tomos Williams did some fine work when he came on... as did Watkin. Immensely proud... biggest win since we beat Ireland in the quarters 8 years ago.

You're confusing rugby with football.....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The rule.is it has to cross the line not touch the ground

1. The ball is not in touch or touch-in-goal if:
   1. The ball reaches the plane of touch but is caught, knocked or kicked by a player who is in the playing area.
   2. A player jumps, from within or outside the playing area, and catches the ball, and then lands in the playing area, regardless of whether the ball reached the plane of touch.
   3. A player jumps from the playing area and knocks (or catches and releases) the ball back into the playing area, before landing in touch or touch-in-goal, regardless of whether the ball reached the plane of touch.

True true, they also passed it a few times.

AWJ is a complete passenger in that pack when you actually watch his impact - live stats had him at 3 carries for -1 metre at the hour mark

Ban him.

They really should stop the clock for scrums, it's a joke

I think scrum clock should be left on for the first scrum. If it collapses the clock should be stopped from then until he says crouch for any reset scrums.

Fair must be different to super where they've been calling it out at the plane.

Nope. That's the law for all rugby.

What's the source for this? Just curious as I was just searching for the same and got:

EDIT: Ignore, I've found it myself and you're right.

Law 19 Definitions

1. The ball is in touch when it is not being carried by a player and it touches the touchline or anything or anyone on or beyond the touchline.
2. The ball is in touch when a player is carrying it and the ball carrier (or the ball) touches the touchline or the ground beyond the touchline.
3. The place where the ball carrier (or the ball) touched or crossed the touchline is where it went into touch.
4. The ball is in touch if a player catches the ball and that player has a foot on the touchline or the ground beyond the touchline.
5. If a player has one foot in the field of play and one foot in touch and holds the ball, the ball is in touch.

Much needed win for Wales,

Be interested to see if their fans are happy with that? The performance rather than the result

AWJ is a complete passenger in that pack when you actually watch his impact - live stats had him at 3 carries for -1 metre at the hour mark

23 tackles, more than anyone else. The guy also hits a silly amount of rucks. You need a workhorse in the pack, AWJ is ultimate. Looks out on his feet after 10min, but keeps going the full 80 almost every match. He's a legend.
