Did the French guy just leap frog over the Argentinean scrub half?

Really enjoying this game. Serious intensity from both sides for the most part. Argentina probably should be ahead, but welp, they just keep bottling it at the wrong time. Altho penalty plus 10m now so..

Grand cru Francing Although the French can tend to be shite between fifty and seventy minutes and come back in the last ten. The difference being they don't normally have a 20 point advantage to blow.

Wtf? Seems a weird time for a drop goal with opposition having a good period with ball in hand. 70 minutes gone i suppose, I didn't notice that at first

Ahaha, post gong fighting. Looks like it was in fact an excellent time for a drop goal. Guess this level of quality rugby analysis could be why I don't coach a national, or indeed any, team.

Not thrilled about the offside line seemingly disappearing though. Argentina can feel hard done by.

Did Gardner forget his cards? France should've had someone binned at some point. Picamoles intercept was a mile offside too. And I'm pretty sure a French defender rolled into the scrum half on that last turnover.

All of the matches have been good fun so far. I think about half of Australia wound up in Sapporo, and there were plenty of neutrals and English fans who got tickets for both games this weekend.

Both teams were desperate for staying behind the offside line for important parts of the game. When there's two points in it with two minutes to go it can be tough to not see it called, but when you've been getting away with it all match it's a strange ask for it to be suddenly respected (although something Nigel Owens would be happy to oblige with.) That being said France should have had a yellow card, although I'm not sure how much of a difference it would have made. Argentina should have taken at least one chance during the first half and then France wouldn't have been able to hold out. Edit: Painkiller posted:Did Gardner forget his cards? France should've had someone binned at some point. Picamoles intercept was a mile offside too. And I'm pretty sure a French defender rolled into the scrum half on that last turnover. That definitely happened, and I was yelling at the screen as it happened, but again, it's one of those things that you can't expect that to be suddenly called because it's the last minute and you're two points down, however fuming I'd be if it happened to Ireland.

Actually what is the general line on enforcing offside atm? Occasionally see it enforced strictly, but rushing defense is pretty much mandatory now, esp with the pod offense structure (which someone here explained really well and thank you whoever that was). Seems a pretty fine line for teams to walk as to staying onside or ending up with gaps for runners to hit.

I was hoping for the clean, commentary-free, crowd and ref mics only version, but that will have to do.

Offside seems to be enforced if it directly interferes with play or is just really blatant, if not, players tend to be able to steal a metre or two as long as they're away from the ruck and get away with it.

Seems a pretty fine line for teams to walk as to staying onside or ending up with gaps for runners to hit. Theoretically it's behind the hindmost foot of the ruck, but I haven't seen that rigorously enforced in a tier 1 match in pretty much forever. Behind the bulk of the ruck might be generally enforced, but mostly it's just something that looks obviously offside by someone being particularly far ahead. This often ends up with bad calls though, where someone charging from behind makes yards and just looks offside because they had a head of steam up, while the smothering effect of the whole line being a metre or so offside goes by unnoticed. All in all, it's a shitshow, and probably the most advantageous pushing of the laws outside the ruck that goes on at the highest level of the game.

It's like scrum laws, enforced when the ref gets generally annoyed with them loving about with the flow of play.

NZ v SA kickoff is about an hour and a bit still yeah? Time to make some burgs, grab a drink before the main event. Have managed to somehow miss every Boks game so far this year so been looking forward to this bigly. Sorry to all if I have been posting too much. I live in a rugby desert, so I am taking the chance to gorge on the stuff this World Cup.

But no worries about asking questions, everyone here is pretty good at answering anything you might want to know.
