Wallabies v Pumas, Bankwest (Parra), Sat 5th December

[PhilClinton]

If you haven’t fucking noticed it is Rugby.

I’m sure he noticed mate, and noticed how it’s these sort of decisions that lose fans from our game to the others. Without an audience to entertain there is no money and no professional sports. People don’t pay money to see 3 yellow cards and a red. The game needs to look at their law interpretations.

 

[Tomikin]

FF (Folau Fainga'a) is the dimond for mauls.. Well done tt

 

[Rugbynutter39]

JOC (James O'Connor) drops the ball - sums up our night. Sadly I would settle for a draw at this point.....but Argentina given 3 players suspended and all things considered would take that as a win - and the fact the Wallabies failed to beat them in two tests...cripes wallabies get the win please

[Chunderstruck]

TT's head:neck ratio is world class

 

[dru]

Fainga what a dope

 

[kiap]

Throw the ball ffs

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Jake Gordon you goose....

 

[Dctarget]

Glad we got Jake’s box kicks

 

[kiap]

Sheezus.

We need Tate.

 

[Viking]

Gordon selected over Tate for presumably his kicking.... kicks it out on the full lmfao

 

[dru]

Yay Gordon

 

[maxdacat]

So box kick out on the full

 

[footy1>31]

Not straight straight in front of Gus, so out of form since the missed offside in the Tahs v Brumbies game

 

[molman]

That red card tackle is like every second hit in a league game

If you haven’t fucking noticed it is Rugby.

Part of the issue with the cards are the commentators. If you watch international rugby they accept it and move on. Honestly whilst I don't disagree that it is not perfect, what is allowed to go on in League with all we now know about concussion is like watching a bunch of 5 years olds suck down a few drags on a cigarette, it's really a joke a times.

The last I checked the NFL isn’t encroaching on rugby’s market share in Australia, that’s like comparing oranges to beef jerky.

NRL v Rugby is constant struggle for players and viewership in this country so I think old mates point held some validity.

Anyway let’s keep watching this train wreck game and reflect tomorrow.

 

[kiap]

Fainga what a dope

I'd investigate that for match fixing.

 

[Scooter]

Gordon Bray the best Gordon involved in this match.

 

[Viking]

so sick of these scrums ffs

 

[footy1>31]

Great work Hooper
