RWC 2019 1/4 Final Japan vs South Africa

[Pokinacha]

Player is out of the game when he's on the ground and can't touch the ball. Was a penalty but not for crawling but for not releasing the ball when he was on all fours

 

[Spruce Moose]

Pardon Mr Barnes?

Has he switched off the TMO?

What
The
Fuck
?

Based on all of the decisions this past year that was clearly a yellow card as a minimum.

I believe that is called a coat hanger

 

[Upthenuts]

go japan!

 

[Upthenuts]

does le roux ever do anything well?

 

[Derpus]

Counter-ruck good, scrum feed Saffas. Is that a new rule?

 

[ACR]

Faf needs a stiff uppercut from literally anyone. Maybe he'll find the offside line a bit closer to the ground.

 

[SteveWA]

Dead set, get them onside Barnes. Or are you under instructions to ignore it?

Not your favourite player?

Not your favourite player?

Most halfbacks aren't. He's particularly been a pest this evening.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

And thats got to be the game.

 

[Derpus]

Mauls are horrendous to watch.

 

[Up the Guts]

South Africa providing more ammunition for the League is better than Union crowd.

 

[SteveWA]

So now Barnes starts calling the offside. I guess he feels confident it won’t impact the result.

Truck and trailer for the last try

 

[Derpus]

SA will beat Wales and lose to NZ in the final - like clockwork.

One thing the soccer world cup has on rugby is the unpredictability.

 

[Spruce Moose]

Both England and NZ would demolish the SA side with this standard of play. Japan inability to score points in the first half has hurt them.

 

[ACR]

South Africa providing more ammunition for the League is better than Union crowd.

Wales vs SA is going to be abysmal.

 

[SteveWA]

I rate Barnes as one of the best referees in the world, but his policing of the offside and breakdown has been abysmal. The Saffas have been offside and off their feet all night. And generally they have been rewarded. What’s going on?
