was there a reason why france chose not to kick the ball out when it was past 80 mins? onscreen clock not matching ref's time?

quartz

This is stadium fare in QLD?

quartz

honestly, france deserved 2 reds, scotland 1

quartz

i stand corrected. why is he so gobby on the audio feed?

Who is he, and who is the tmo?

paul williams. going by sr games, he tends to bottle it, not assertive enough. everyone's favourite ref wayne barnes is the the tmo.

kiwi ref.

quartz

why wasn't the scottish player also red carded for his punches? was the ref too afraid to hand out two reds?

quartz

why is a 10 trying to start a fight after the final whistle. the ref can't protect you when the game is over.

quartz

fra needs a fg here

quartz

wales score a try here and france will fold

france didn't score enough in the 1h. only a 2 score game.

quartz

that's a red card even before they brought in the crazy contact rules.

quartz

so when does eddie start his new job as coach of the melbourne rebels? he's gooooneeee.

quartz

what caused the odds on france to jump out to 3.25?

quartz

ireland's defence on the line didn't look too legal. they need a good win for a momentum swing into good form. this match wasn't it.

quartz

jj williams was right about wales attack game directed by biggar. what were france thinking in the second half? there was one play where they were perfectly set up to attempt a fg but shifted the ball to the right edge instead. it seemed like they were only thinking about tries when they just needed...

quartz

ireland unlucky to have peaked in between rwcs.

quartz

is it legal to go straight to ground and seal the ball now? it's what the french are doing right in front of barnes everytime to protect their possesion.

quartz

that biggar tackle on itoje looked like a 50/50 red card

quartz

what's gatland doing? wales won't have a 10 at the rwc at this rate

quartz

This is being reffed with the home town advantage of a Top 14 match. The ref is blind to Wales constantly off their feet. If a yellow card incident existed in this match it was when a Welsh player at full pace dove off his feet into the breakdown. It even happened late after the ball had been cleared.

quartz

garces is awful. sarries players allowed to fall over the tackled player or handle the ball off their feet.

quartz

it's the same video official for every jaguares home game. i'm surprised how long they've kept that setup going for considering how one eyed the video team is.

quartz

i watched the last 12 mins. no clear release by the welsh tackler every time. slowed down the play illegally. that said, if the ref had called it correctly. the scots attacked only looked good enough to kick a pen. so they still would've lost.

quartz

I liked the Lynch version too. Not many film adaptations capture the tone and feel of a book. Filmmakers tend to choose not to and try too hard to re-create something that is their own.

I reckon they should have skipped straight to the 4th book. It's the most fitting for today's market.

Jesus no wonder the dam cracked

they spent their remaining energy on celebrating their last converted penalty goal. they had nothing left after that.

deserved a yellow earlier on i reckon . came flying into a ruck with his shoulder with no intention of staying on his feet.

But if the ball was still in then Billy's was the first offence.

welsh player knocked it on when he rolled the ball towards himself. that happened before the english player came around.

quartz

surely the scots have other options at 10? no reason to play a centre with poor game reading and passing skills.

quartz

wonder why the french have persisted with parra for so long? it's not like they're lacking 9s. i'm surprised when lopez was selected he wasn't paired with his clubmate teddy something from racing.

quartz

I was going to put money on the Scotch for the 3.00 upset but after looking at the team sheet... A very ordinary backline there.

quartz

eng getting away with too much at the breakdown. even if the ref did call it properly the eng boys are too much for the french today. the ref does seem a to be bit blind with a lot of useful help coming from the video official. Especially going back more than 3 phases to find English errors that of...

typical barnes doo doo show. i don't understand why some rate him at all.

He put his hands on the player in the air - tackle in the air. Fair yellow

at the the end of the first half, kearney's play was even more blatant. yet, the tmo was silent.

quartz

why was schmidt complaining? he was the one who selected an understrength side.

quartz

going by the audio it sounds like doyle's? the one in charge of the whistle

quartz

they can't stop giving yellows for ambiguous knockdowns but when it's clear cut they don't want to.

it's the rebels scrum. their rake can't hook for the ball because the rebels scrum is under immediate pressure. the stormers front row is too fat for them to handle.

quartz

so with the 10 day rule for the vaccine those reds players won't make the game?
