France were extremely poor today, didn't turn up at all... Hard to judge Ireland on that one, will have to wait until next week to see what they are made of. ABs will never lose to this French team

bigfoot again posted:Joubert robbed the Scots but he also let WP Nel cheat his way through the game so swings and roundabouts This is true, the scrum calls went Scotland's way all day long. I can't believe people are complaining about Barnes, he was fine. Garces is a terrible ref.

MyChemicalImbalance posted:I think it was Joubert's arrogance in not asking the TMO that was the worst part, as if he had super robot ref eyes and saw it all flawlessly in real time. The TMO can be used only in the following circumstances: -Determining the grounding of the ball in-goal for a try or touchdown and/or whether players were in touch or touch in goal before grounding -Determining whether a kick at goal has been successful -Confirm if an infringement has occurred in the build-up to a try or prevention of a try (infringement must be within two phases of the try or touchdown) -Considering acts of possible foul play

DickEmery posted:Laws. I actually agree with you there to some extent. I think the protocols in this case resulted in an incorrect decision to remain standing. This needs to somehow be corrected without the game being further reliant on the TMO, which has been something of an issue...

The ref was a non-issue in this game... Pass wasn't forward and none of the penalty calls were scandalous. The Springboks are clearly a decent team but they need to develop their attack if they want to start winning with greater consistency. Also their uncharacteristically shaky line-out and kicking out of hand put themselves under pressure. Credit must be given for putting in a admirable World Cup effort after that shocking start. All Blacks's applied all the pressure in this game and were full credit for the win. It was not as flashy as last week's but they controlled large sections of the game well and lived in the SA half of the field. Solid victory really. The sportsmanship shown by SBW on Jessie Kriel was amazing to see too.

Owens missing a few key calls there leading up to the try, not his best game.

ColtMcAsskick posted:Regardless it was inevitable that the all blacks would get through. I can only hope the wallabies can eek in a performance and make it interesting in the second half. Can't argue with that... Australia haven't been at their best and ABs deserve to be ahead.

We can all agree there is some give and take that teams experience with the refs, but incredbily bad calls like the Farrell “tackle” today need to be properly addressed by World Rugby... Frustrating for any rugby fan to see

Lawes looked offside for the charge down, not sure what these English commentators are on about

Vaders Jester posted:What should be coming to them is a penalty, possibly a yellow card but the refs are shite at spotting it, what's not acceptable is someone getting headbutted and World Rugby saying "nah, that's totally fine mate, play on." Get hosed with that. This is largely how the issued used to be resolved on field in the past, so it’s not exactly the greatest crime the game has ever seen.

Well its good for the tournament that both the Boks and Wallabies are finding some form... Competition looking rather open at the moment, or at least more open than usual.
