[RWC2019][Quarter-Final 1] England vs. Australia (19/10/2019)

[TommiG88]

No arms tackle.

 

[Bluemoon]

This back row battle is incredible.

 

[CymruRygbi]

Even me, a rampant England hater and probable Yes voter, believe England are getting the wrong end of the stick here.

 

[ncurd]

Why is the TMO not calling that back.

It looked wrong in real time as Billy got upended.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Our midfield's like a sieve.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Kerevi with the big hand in Manu's face!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Hooper's a dirty player.

Here we go again with the scrums.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Johnno was also a man of few words. Led by Endeavour like TC.

Curry isn't even a man of few words, watch him at the scrum and in breaks of play, he's our most vocal forward

 

[TheOvalBall]

Sinkler calling for Poite ? What a nerve.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Poor refereeing

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Curry isn't even a man of few words, watch him at the scrum and in breaks of play, he's our most vocal forward

have to watch him more closely then. Don't notice him being that vocal.

But being vocal is not always a main attribute of a captain.

 

[Bluemoon]

The pitch is having a massive impact on these scrums and I think Garces is taking that into consideration with some of the scrum calls (or non calls at times).

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Sio has a history of collapsing scrums yet refs seem to keep forgetting it...

 

[Jashay]

Sinkler looks to be on a short fuse...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He's got it in for George at the scrum,
Rare you see a hooker pinged for collapsing

 

[SomeOke]

Sinkler angling in imo.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Poor refereeing

At that scrum or in general?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Have we had more than one completed scrum?

 

[TommiG88]

So we should be 20-6 up due to that tackle, but will go in at half time 17-9.

 

[Reiser99]

Yeah but when Sio clearly lets his bind go and drops, that is surely a penalty.
