So Italy still had a mathematical chance of reaching the quarters and now it is cancelled? That is actually disgraceful. I don't know how much lower world rugby can sink in my view.

Ensuring Australia will now play England instead of possibly France. (they prob wouldn't have won but still). That's a yikes from me.

I can't believe cancellations are the go to move for a world cup tournament. Honestly, if you make a decision early enough, and contingencies were planned to begin with, there's no reason you couldn't ship the squads off to another city and play in front of an empty stadium if you have to.

Someone see what Stephen Donald is up to. He'd have a go up front.

You just had to watch the other guy they chose kick the ball twice to realise they "dun goofed".

Eh?

"Swinging arm" :rolleyes:. How do you get your arm around a player to tackle without swinging it? The player was literally diving to the ground.

FFS. IT'S TAKEN 7 FUCKING REPLAYS TO FINALLY LOOK AT THE ONLY THING THAT NEEDED LOOKING AT. Honestly, fuck these refereeing standards. They are just a joke.

It's like we're scoring, but choosing the worst possible options to get there. Should delete all recordings of this game and forget it happened.

Probably the safest channel flick in professional sports.

Bruh? Don't even try.

Not much the ref could do? How about just give a penalty given the players head was at knee height? I mean frankly, he's given them the complete rub of the green so far.

Yeah, they did look good. They are a solid team. I thought they were a bit slow on attack with their forwards (in the first half at least), they stepped up a bit at the start of the second half. Especially considering they had an extra man. Certainly not a high tempo forward game but the NH...

Where did they get this 10 from? Sanchez must be filthy he lost his spot to him.

The fuk is Heinz playing for England for?

They stopped penalising the second player sealing the ball off years ago. Now they only penalise the ridiculous ones.

Pretty slow forward play for a team with a man up.

Yes, but there are actually some instances of foul play that warrant a number disadvantage. Not all reds (although most these days) are accidental high tackles.

This has to be the answer. Remove the player for the game and maybe a 20 min bin advantage?
