Test Rugby Rugby World Cup - Japan 2019 Final: England v South Africa

[Charlie_s123]

A yellow card for the Wallabies, Uruguay taking it right up to them.

Geez yellow cards are weak these days.

Oita Stadium certainly looks nicer than any of the venues across the Tasman

 

[Charlie_s123]

Wallabies playing lazy arrogant rugby at the moment. The final looks a very long way away for them right now.

 

[smasha]

Too many errors again but still getting trys on the board.

Will need to lift considerably for the knockout stages.

 

[Charlie_s123]

Pretty embarrassing first half from AUS tbh.

 

[smasha]

TY Kiwi third umpires,no try.

 

[Gough]

Tackling technique sucks. It's obvious the head is off limits and we keep getting done.

 

[Charlie_s123]

Uruguay robbed of a try by another pedantic call from the TMOs, they are ruining this tournament.

Gordon Bray nailing it "The TMOs are having too much say", they're examining things to within an inch and overruling on field calls which should be let go.

I’d say the same with high tackles. All the years I played rugby, having an arm make contact with the shoulder of a player wasn’t a cardable offence. It’s just leading to Selwood style dropping the knees.

The head is sacrosanct these days in all sports. Cheika can moan all he likes but it won't change anything.

They’re not getting the head though. I reckon I could have pulled out at least 3 more yellows from that half if they were consistent. The way they call high is so soft now.

Softer than AFL.

These Aussie rugby players look like pacific islanders .

 

[Charlie_s123]

Nick White’s been pretty disappointing so far this tournament. Lacking control and decision making.

These Aussie rugby players look like pacific islanders .

Those South American rugby players look like Spaniards.

 

[Charlie_s123]

Wallabies fitness over Uruguay showing now.

 

[boondy]

Uruguay have t shirts from red dot .

 

[Charlie_s123]

Slipper getting a standing ovation for his first try and for being an actual Australian that was born here. a rare treat for Wallabies fans these days.

Better watch out, you can get ejected from Lords for that sort of talk!

 

[boondy]

GWS v Collingwood style

 

[Charlie_s123]

Pretty sloppy from AUS overall. Not going deep playing that, that’s for sure.

 

[smasha]

Too many errors, even the last play of the match.

 

[chibimatty]

First Kyle Sinckler, now Tuilagi doesn't get 10?! How much is Nigel Owens on the take in this one?!

££££££££££££££££££££££££

¡Vamos Pumas!

I know they want to protect the head, but in that instance I'm just not sure how it could've been avoided. Player wasn't hurt at all, so yellow and let judiciary do the rest. Tackling in the air used to be a yellow too.

Concussion mate . You cant tackle high . Players miss weeks , careers are shortened . Its the way the game is going now .

I get that, I just didn't think it was a high tackle as such.

England player dropped his knees to draw high contact. The IRB are going to * this sport with their changing of decisions around high tackles.
