[Dctarget]

Only difference was one was against your favourite team

I'd block him but I think I'm in need for a laugh tonight

 

[gel]

what a fantastic game.

 

[Wilson]

Very solid defensive set here, but the All Blacks are looking a bit rudderless.

Should've scored 5 times there

 

[Wilson]

We've done well to ride out the 10 minutes

 

[rugbyAU]

positive signs for the wallabies early

 

[Wilson]

I'm not so sure that went forward

 

[Shiggins]

Slightly robbed there. Was worth a look. It didn't look to go forward off Wilson. Touch and go

 

[Tomthumb]

No time wasting, but let’s call a water break!

 

[Shiggins]

Barret should be red carded for headbutting Foley.

 

[Pokinacha]

The local TV broadcaster won’t show it to remove any doubt

 

[Lightblue]

Blow your pea out of your whistle!

 

[Shiggins]

Looked like an obstruction to me and then we get called for offside.

 

[Pokinacha]

Brace: you cant dive on a ball when it pops out. Um, what law book are you reading champ? The Belgian one?

Nah ref mentioned it last week, clearly a new rule I guess

 

[Lightblue]

How long is he going to take?

You can't. He is right. If it's near the ruck you have to stay on feet to pick it up. Think it was new this year

 

[Wilson]

Brace: you cant dive on a ball when it pops out. Um, what law book are you reading champ? The Belgian one?

No, world rugby's:

Law 15.16: “Players must not: d) Fall over the ball as it is coming out of a ruck.”

Law 15.18: “A ruck ends and play continues when the ball leaves the ruck or when the ball in the ruck is on or over the goal line.”

Definitions: Near = within one metre.

 

[Lightblue]

Ref is a shocker

 

[Shiggins]

Samu clearly picked the ball up and then fell over. Bad call
