Wallabies v Georgia 20 July - Allianz Stadium 3.45PM

[drewprint]

Foul play. Please. Fucking bullshit.

 

[Wallabies]

If that’s a red card I give up

 

[Tomthumb]

This is why people don't like refs

 

[swingpass]

Didnt see that ball touch the ground

i agree I think Kailea had a hand under it

 

[Marce]

World Rugby is afraid of a class action lawsuit for senile dementia as happened in the NFL

 

[Tomthumb]

How can he have mistimed his jump if he charged down the ball? Krusty the clown is reffing

 

[Adam84]

To plays devils advocate. I think that’s a pretty fair ruling, Georgia lost a player to HIA as a result of action that wasn’t really necessary and fairly dangerous in execution.

 

[Alex Sharpe]

Real hard to enjoy a game of rugby these days with that sort of piss.

 

[Marce]

Thankfully Georgia has their own Donaldson

Charging a ball down is unnecessary and dangerous?

 

[Adam84]

Execution of that certainly was, otherwise Georgia wouldn’t have lost a player to HIA

Im ok with more protection for kickers, just like the Welsh player last night diving at the legs of JOC (James O'Connor)

Completely unfortunate and truly ugly but we shouldn't be penalizing base on the effect on the player.

Honestly I don't think it should have even been a penalty.

Would it have been a card if the player got straight back up? No.

He partially charged it down though, so timing couldn't have been that bad. It's rugby, clashes within the game happen. Not everything is illegal

 

[Marce]

Definitely Joe is someome who knows what he's doing

 

[Marce]

Apparently Donno recovered his memory

Nah..Not timing, it technique that was the issue. Turning and leading into kicker with raised knee and hip isn’t good for anyone. Just like diving at the legs of a kicker should be penalised more.

So if he hadn’t turned, and the Georgian still ended up hurt, is it a penalty?

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

We are all over these blokes with ball in hand. Keep possession, attack straight and be patient and we should put a lot more on them.

 

[Alex Sharpe]

Filipo upgraded to Red. Complete fuckwitery from the match officials

 

[drewprint]

Upgraded to a red card. Just pathetic.
