[RWC2023] France vs Italy (06/10/2023)

[dirty harry]

These decisions are ruining the game, that was clearly a player stepping over the ball, the 9 is small and low, contact is with the chest, AND the Italian never follows through the player...

Play the F on, THIS IS NOT TIDDLY WINKS!!!!

it's still a contact sport ffs

I think this game might get a bit tasty, if France want to get involved

Luke Pearson did really well there to talk it down to a penalty.

It definitely look like the shoulder rides up and hits the head. I assume I'm getting the same pictures as you guys.

You mightn't be. Last World Cup I posted a similar thing after people seemed to be seeing something different to me. Just this year I saw a replay of the game from a different broadcaster and it turned out the pictures they showed were different

If they are calling that yellow, there should be a yellow card given at almost every clear out...

They didn't. No card was given.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Lovely try.

 

[Jimbo]

Why do tmos only look at things when a try is scored?

Have to agree if that was in the middle of the field would never have been picked up.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Gawd that was lovely

 

[Tooting Carmen]

And that's the BP. Not even HT.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Again, this is why not all kicks are equal.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Okay it was worth the bad call if it was necessary to get that

 

[ncurd]

That's how you kick.

 

[Jer1cho]

What a kick damn.

 

[BrokenWing]

Something about Penaud I really dislike.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Again, this is why not all kicks are equal.

Are you saying a Farrell bomb around the posts wouldn't have created such a finish?

 

[IT157]

They didn't. No card was given.

Thank goodness they didn't. Still disagree with the decision. Ref was so adamant about trying to give a yellow I thought he was going to give one!

 

[IT157]

Something about Penaud I really dislike.

Probably his face. He looks very smug.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Are you saying a Farrell bomb around the posts wouldn't have created such a finish?

We need a Farrell special off Marlers face to achieve that result.

 

[Jer1cho]

This tournament is driving me wild. Obvious red cards being treated as yellows and clean plays being called as foul play.

The first time in the games history referees are as confused as fans.

 

[dirty harry]

Something about Penaud I really dislike.

It's hisattitude, a few minutes ago he made a high tackle and got an arm to the neck, I hate that simulation to the ref and linesman, also the other player making the TMO square motion is disgusting.
