Thank God it wasn't upgraded to a red. Common sense prevailed.

Yes. I predicted red because I feared there wouldn't be common sense.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

You cannot buy a decent Wallaby fly half these days it seems. Bad miss.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Ferris just said on comms that the Samoan 15 is letting his teammates down. Harsh but hard to argue.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

For an old boy Fritz Lee is still very quick around the breakdown.

Think it was upper arm so only a yellow.

I think some rule is needed to prevent traffic after a high ball. These legal blocking lines tend to create danger.

The whole tournament they've allowed shepherding under "don't ever call anything" and of course it's lead to a dangerous situation

 

[AlRums]

Nice little kick through

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Lea'liifano having a shocker with the boot.

 

[TommiG88]

Samoa are bad.

England to top group easy now

 

[AlRums]

Samoa are bad.

England to top group easy now

Argentina are playing much, much better than they did against England

 

[TommiG88]

Don't let your hate for England blind you

 

[AlRums]

Pen to Arg, commentator goes "there's the guilty party" with Samoan on screen. Could make it up

 

[AlRums]

Don't let your hate for England blind you

You mean like your hatred for Scotland

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Argentina are playing much, much better than they did against England

They really aren't.

 

[TommiG88]

You mean like your hatred for Scotland

I think you'll struggle to find my hundreds of posts disparaging Scotland

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Sopanga's bigger boot might have been better suited to these conditions. But you can't pick a team based on the possibility of weather.

I still really fancy Samoa for this. Carrerras seems incapable of game management from what little I have seen of him.

Really? I think it will end up being 40-50 points to Argentina and no more than 20 for Samoa

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Cheeky throw in

I said Arg are playing better than they played against Eng. You translated that as a hatred of England when in fact I never said anything about Eng per se

Yeah, I'm maybe being duped by Argentina's ability to do things like catch a ball and then hold onto it. They are evolving!

 

[General Melchett]

Shambolic from Arg there.
