Unlike Italy who showed such commitment against Wales!?!?

Cuthbert is a donkey, Amos is a much better option.

Gatland has the look of a man who could eat quite a lot of Pie. Whether he enjoys the Humble variety I would tend to doubt. There was a suggestion that he can be a little insensitive in his dropping of players.

Poite knew what he had to do to keep getting gigs.

You support NZ and as such don't want to see Carter cited.

But he was behind the goal line by quite some distance. He has gone in to half heartedly dislodge the ball and in the process his foot/ shin have made contact with the try scorers face. Your man had already touched the ball down, held in the bread basket, for the try. If he had made contact on...

It was Carter's boot making contact with a man's face. Of course no holier than though New Zealander could ever do anything reckless or illegal. Mealamu couldn't possibly have head butted anyone because he is a Christian was one of the finer lines of mitigation employed in the past. I think...

I think there is a lot of sloppy and dubious attacking maul play, but when it is done correctly it is one of the few aspects of the game that manages to legally create a bit of space for backs which is a good thing IMHO.

Not even the slightest surprise there. But still surprised that, apart from yourself, no one saw anything wrong with a fellas boot making contact with a man's face like that. Nothing on here about Worldrugby looking to bring in changes to the tackle to reduce the incidence of head injury either...

I will keep saying this, IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE DELIBERATE!!!! I have no axe to grind as far as Carter is concerned and don't think his citing would have ended up in a ban given the circumstances, but he was reckless to allow his boot to be anywhere near Petti's face.

You don't understand the citing procedures, it doesn't have to be deliberate. If it happen in the Pro 12 it would have been cited. The NH is a long way ahead of the SH on head injuries, player welfare and concussion protocols because of the injuries to North and Brown. The complete lack of...

When does a supplement become a PED?

Wales dealt with it very easily by explaining to Clouseau that they weren't passing the ball back to the tail until the catcher had made contact with a defender. I am biased though because I think the maul is a thing of beauty, as is a good maul defence.

It doesn't matter if it is deliberate or not. His foot moved towards the players head which is reckless. Think the window has elapsed now anyway so he isn't going to be cited.

Poite penalised Wales for offside, passing the ball back before the jumper had made contact with the opposition. Wales got smart after that.

Compartment syndrome. The Welsh lads are all very very big for their bodies.

Keith Earls was saying that the conditions for the Ireland V Canada game were not very good, they watered the grass before the game and turned the place into a giant greasy sweat box.

I agree Cardiffblue but rugby commentary of the pro12 on BBC Wales can be more than a little Cycloptic. And having to listen to that slanderous Ickle prick Shane Williams during this RWC doesn't do much for my blood pressure. Still hoping you beat the Orcs on Saturday though.

I am with you on that. I watch a lot of rugby in Welsh, Irish and Scots Gallic, none of which I speak, and enjoy that a lot more than any English language commentators who are all agenda and bias driven.

Ah now, cmon. Japan beating SA has to be one of the greatest upsets in the history of sport and has electrified the tournament. It must have been painful listening to the commentary during the game but to expect the man to not refer back to it when Argentina were leading NZ is a bit unrealistic.
