[RWC2023] Australia vs Portugal (01/10/2023)

[Bluemoon]

If it hits the chest but you still get a load of force through the head it's still a card


Edit: Terrible call, clearly smashes him in the jaw

A dreadful call.

Joyless Neville strikes again

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ireland shouldn't be allowed to win the world cup because they've inflicted Joy Neville on the sport

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bottled it, cowards

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Gonna go against the grain and say you can't really give that as a penalty try. Faessler didn't impact the knock on itself, therefore you can't really say that the try would've definitely been scored if he wasn't there.

It sucks, but it's the right call.

 

[AlRums]

Ref competing for worst referee

Ireland shouldn't be allowed to win the world cup because they've inflicted Joy Neville on the sport

I raise you Jaco Peyper, the people of La Rochelle (or France in general if you're one of those) and, for you, James Lowe. We are at worst level with the other contenders.

I don't want South Africa, France or New Zealand to win either tbf, so it checks out

 

[Crash Hamster]

And that's a forearm smash to the head...

 

[dirty harry]

I've said it for 18 months, Joy Neville runs every game shes involved with!!!

She destroys URC games, and now shes ruining my world cup lol

 

[ncurd]

Well that should be a red.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

After the bunker's performance both France and Ireland can get tossed due to Rolland

 

[Lé Ddanno]

That has to be red shirley

 

[dirty harry]

Aus went under the 2nd row then before he lands, AND Valentini is borderline in that collapse...

Tier 2 teams just cant get a break!!!

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

As in it's a bad thing or to be expected?

Imo it's 100% a bad thing but I suppose a bit of it should be expected. It'd be nice if they minimized its use instead of referring every-single-bloody-call to the bunker.

We are 2 millimeters away from having a robot on the field who blindly follows the calls from a booth. And 3 millimeters away from having an AI at the bunker that gets rugby's laws and 10 million games with cases as inputs and spits out the calls. You want consistency? Careful of what you wish for.

Then again, I reckon i am a minority.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Hold onto the pill ffs

 

[Gavin]

Not upgraded seems a bit mad. Forearm with force to the head of the defender

 

[dirty harry]

Another tier 1 team gets away with a forearm smash to the face...

Disgracefull!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Kerevi not being upgraded is a joke.

Honestly this is a ******* joke. England have had the rulebook ******* thrown at us for anything high but it seems everyone else can get away with it. They even interfered with Farrell getting off to get it overturned, you can bet they won't with these though.

 

[Wichita]

When you realize those Portugal guys are playing in the 3rd or 4th division in France, they really put up a fight, amazing dedication to the team!
