[RWC2023] France vs New Zealand (08/09/2023)

[ThebigARena]

Very lucky there

 

[retired9]

I know the French are excited as F but the football levels of trying to buy fouls and the crowd jeering is annoying.

Stupid yellow to give away there

 

[ncurd]

Yellow and bunker.

That's a red in some games.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Christ, de Groot looks like he's been swimming

AB shirts really not coping with the sweat. Bit embarrassing for Adidas.

 

[ThebigARena]

Slightly more vertical it would of been a red

 

[IT157]

Ramos not firing as per usual.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

I hope Jalabert keeps proving me wrong for the whole tournament. I like that he doesn't seem blessed with great athletic ability, but seems to make success with his brain and by accepting he is going to take contact because he ships the ball so late.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Well that's a let off...

 

[General Melchett]

Landing meant it was yellow.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Ramos really not liking kicking at an angle tonight.

 

[Jimbo]

has to be a yellow, hate that it is because it's so hard for the players to time everything perfectly to avoid it, fully understand why it has to be though.

 

[ThebigARena]

Did Ramos miss a kick ?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Yellow and bunker.

That's a red in some games.

I feel like it's definitely a yellow in this case but sometime in this competition, maybe now, the bunker system will get scrutinised which it hasn't yet. I think it's a good system, but the moment you get an upgrading of an on field decision which is a bit controversial then I think it will get a bit more challenging. E. G if this got upgraded it would be wrong imo.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

I replayed the Ioane pass and the only thing possibly saving it is I think he was running forward, so that momentum could impact on the pass, especially with the length of pass magnifying it. It has to be checked on a scoring play though surely. I would be raging if it was against my team that it wasn't at least reviewed.

 

[TW27BA]

Was that a very porky Serge Blanco in the crowd?

 

[Lé Ddanno]

I'm still sweating more than anyone on the pitch

 

[IT157]

Did Ramos miss a kick ?

Two so far.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Dear ITV, please stop bigging up Eng v Arg.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Do we really need to tell the players a card isn't getting upgraded?

I watch a bit of top 14 and he is amazing there. Very creative, more of a baller than ntamack. I think he has been decent but dupont seems to be missing his main man since he hasnt been clicking like he normally does.
