[RWC2023] France vs Uruguay (14/09/2023)

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Those French shirts do look terrible like that. Are they sweaty or is it raining?

 

[Which Tyler]

Okay. So if the ref gave a red, the bunker couldn't downgrade to a yellow correct?

No, because if the red gives a red it doesn't get sent to the bunker.

Ref can show a red card.
Ref can show a yellow card and crosses his arms in front of his face, asking for a bunker review
Ref can show a yellow card.

The bunker only reviews the 2nd situation.

Not changing my typo

I am actually not sure. I don't think so though! A ref has to signal for the bunker, so I don't think he can or would do so from a straight red?

Open to correction on this though

 

[Summer Rose]

Uruguay's number 5 is huge.

Duly noted. I figured that was the case. Thanks for confirming.

You're welcome.
It's a new system, we're all getting used to it

French player has clean run through the defence…

Ref: no advantage

Lost on red card offences, that yellow was lenient

That's be the knock on by France between the penalty and the break.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

They also really need players names on shirts.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

South America, an area World Rugby should focus it development over the next four years. A world cup should also be held in South America.

Not gonna happen. Chile and Uruguay (Brazil & Paraguay, too) have made tremendous efforts to up their game. All grassroots stuff, no poaching. But you'll never hear about them.
WR's aim is at Asia and North America.

 

[Groundhog]

Sorry but there's literally zero chance we get beaten by a team that has a guy called Melvin in their team

Oops missed that

 

[Which Tyler]

If that's the best angle, it's not enough to overrule, surely.

It may well be shoulder, but that angle isn't clear and obvious

 

[Becca]

Oh we like Melvin

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

It's kinda sad I'm surprised they got it right

Melvin, who has never lost to Ireland
