Dirrrrty Tongaaaa
Speaking of counter rucking, Scotland are doing very well today
Game over now anyway
That’s a brutal ‘tackle’. Red all day.
Rising up into his jaw. He's done.
Fagin cool thanks. I guess the whole woke culture now has associated any old guy running a racket of pickpocket children just automatically triggers potential paedo vibes.
I stand corrected.

Looked like a forward pass there shortly after the Tonga turnover
Yussss.
So is that yellow not getting upgraded then?
Yeah thought it was within 8 minutes you hear. I’m not really sure why it’s taking them the full time to decide. To me it looked like a red.
Tackle was at 33mins so I guess they’ll just wait until 2nd half to tell us.
No upgrade to red is nuts.
Awful decision.
Awful decision.
Big green arrow incoming. Finally
Wrong thread
Wrong thread
“His head wasn’t actually removed from his neck….so that doesn’t meet the threshold for a red”
Well they said the mitigation was that the Scottish player lowered his body just before impact and the replay they just showed seemed to back that up.
Try Tonga! Game back on
Lead with his shoulder, head contact, high degree of danger.
You’d have to be suicidal not to try and lower yourself a bit to protect yourself. Ritchie hasn’t returned after failing the HIA.
Think it’s a poor decision and a result of the overthinking that seems to have been injected into decision making this World Cup. Been a few other cases of this in other games.
Well I presume the thinking is the head contact comes about because the player lowers himself and the shoulder was lower than head height. I'm not saying it was a good tackle at all and thought it would have been upgraded based on the initial replay.
As for the other point I don't understand, how would lowering yourself protect yourself?
Curious what thread this was for
It’s a natural reaction to lower yourself into your shoulders, turning your head as you head straight onto something. Rather than extending your head up risking it getting whipped backwards…?
Seeing the replay I see where they have mitigated but still feel it’s harsh.

The Sims 4 ?
No way. I had a few things to do so I missed the start of the second half. That is ludicrous.
And rising up in the tackle. I thought that was one of the factors they look for.
You're confusing me a little bit but he lowers his whole body, not just his head. The Tonga lad drives upwards though so that should have been taken into account too.
Irish archery?
I think it’s very borderline but clearly falls on the side of yellow after the mitigating factors are taken into account.
It’s frustrating from a Scottish POV because dangerous play resulted in one of our players being deemed unfit to carry on, but is what it is I guess.
Had the shoe been on the other foot, I’d personally feel very lucky
Yessss laaaaads. Great stuff.
Scotland deserve a way bigger lead here. Should be playing v 14 too.
Quite a few dubious Tongan tackles tonight.
feck sake, again.
feck sake, again.
That’s what happens when you don’t act in clear red cards. Shit happens again and again.
YESSS. What a try. Take your scummy tackling elsewhere.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
Some of the officiating in this World Cup or rugby in general is fast becoming as ludicrously bad as it is in football. Shame like.
If Wales beat Australia I expect riots down under or the disbanding of Rugby union.
FPL
Wales vs Australia
I think I want Wales to send Eddie Jones home tonight
Great try
Wales try inside 3 mins
Gorgeous try.
What a line by Wales 7.
This looks like a cracker
Biggar in a bad way
