RWC 2019 England vs Argentina

[ACR]

If it were my choice it would just be a straight swap of player. The disadvantage is losing your starting best player for that position for the rest of the game or late in the game a fresher player which then forces you to put a benched player back on. We already have the yellow for temporary loses.

Ive got a feeling this option wouldnt be complicated enough for the current powers in charge though.

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.

Surely if a high tackle is bad enough to recieve a red card the tackled player should go for a hia

England look rusty

Argies playing a smart game

This main caller is just an English cheerleader.

I guess my worry is tackles like the one Farrell copped where his body height was dipping will be judged harsher than what they are. And we'll see lots of people off the field and in contrast see players not get carded when their tackles might have been even worse.

Maybe i just want some consistency. Ive seen multiple identical tackles over this rwc and the responses from referees have ranged from no penalty, penalty only, yellow card, and red card. The theme to wheel of fortune goes through my head every time play gets called back to see a high tackle.

"Number 6 is illegal from the beginning", then why not penalize him instead of allowing him to frustrate the Argentinians?

Nah fuck it, England are shit and flat track bullies. Australia will roll them in the quarters.

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

 

[Shaker]

What an utterly frustrating game of rugby this is.

 

[Up the Guts]

"Great defence from Argentina, England have so much power," would it kill you to give the Pumas some praise without shoehorning in a compliment to England?

 

[The Honey Badger]

Shame they let that try in on HT.

If Nigel penalizes the maul like he should of then they wouldnt have been down there. Argies have to be frustrated.

 

[Up the Guts]

Farrell counter: 0 from 4.

Also took the man in the air off that lineout

 

[The Honey Badger]

Argentina need to get another lock or backrower onto the field, drop a wing. Keep playing for territory.

 

[A mutterer]

tbf gotta respect ledesmas reaction to the red. just crossed his arms.

not sure he 'apprecticed' to chieka. where was the desk slap? the cursing? the hands in the air?

 

[Dctarget]

Watching that first half after the Uruguay game made me realise Wallabies need to take a lot more liberties with protecting our own rucks, fkn lock it down, no one else is supporting their body weight.

That's some tactical nous.
