[RWC2023] England vs Argentina (09/09/2023)

[Saintjay]

Clearly Binny and Faz getting carded was to help the team practice for moments like these.

JPs explanation of the yellow makes it even more confusing

"he's in control, that makes it a yellow" - so he did it on purpose?

 

[AlRums]

There you are Doyle correctly explaining the decisions

 

[Groundhog]

Don't you watch the URC weekly?

English fans sit on the washing machine and think about the URC to get off

 

[BrokenWing]

"He's not out of control"

What? He's in the air, of COURSE he's not in control.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

This could definitely be a good thing for us, if we win and having done so in such circumstances, or even if we come close but don't manage it - if it makes us realise that it's kind of cool to have 15 men and keep them

It's Doyle. . . If he has no issue reffing drunk I'm sure he has no issue being on tv drunk.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Oh dear this Itv panel is pretty embarrassing

 

[Horacito]

Let's see how many new insults in spanish has Cheika learned, he has this weird italian accent that's hilarious
this will be a dog of a game, better start drinking now

 

[SG59_]

Ford is going to have a bad back after this.

 

[Bluemoon]

You mean Lawrence Dallagio and Clive Woodward DONT think it was a red???

If the URC was good they wouldn't have named it the Ugly Rubbish Competition

 

[Wichita]

Based on what we're seing, I think Japan and Chile have nothing to worry about, the path to the quarterfinal is clear for them if they can beat Samoa...

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Well in fact Dallaglio seemed to be suggesting it was the ball carriers responsibility which is pretty cringe

 

[Reiser99]

TBF to Doyle, he may not know the actual reason and has had to come up with one even if it does sound crap.

Loz needs to shut up. A player jumping to catch the ball has responsibility for the player about to tackle him. Curry wasn't static, he had clear line of sight and he made a mistake, but by the law I can see it as a red.

Carreras should be a red too, but I imagine they have found mitigation even if it's ****.

 

[McTallshort]

Listening to Doyle explain things as a pundit sheds a lot of light as to why he was chuffing useless as a ref

Give them the drunk poster award now.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Either they're both yellows or they're both reds.

 

[Rinkadink]

**** off Doyle

He was wrong on first count because on the replay after he spoke an Argentine player crosses between curry and the ball carrier who changes direction. There was definitely a moment of being unsighted.

On the second count it doesn't matter if he's in control or not. This is the precedent, is it not?

Yeah, the minute they used the phrase rugby incident you just knew it'd be a really, really bad take on the law.
