Should have been a Japan penalty if anything

RoscoPColtrain

Fair play to Japan for making it a cracker of a first at least, getting swamped now

RoscoPColtrain

Japan gone here, this is going to blow out

RoscoPColtrain

Fun while it lasted, that’ll be game I imagine

RoscoPColtrain

That Japanese kick pass needs to be used a lot more judiciously

Jesus Barnes is getting dangerous now

Terrible play from Japan there

If the Boks go out in a RWC quarter final after a Wayne Barnes missed forward pass it might be a lively couple of weeks on the bored

RoscoPColtrain

Given we have TMOs analysing every time someone scratches their arse, why on earth wouldn’t Barnes let the try go through and just check the replay? Homerest of homer calls.

RoscoPColtrain

Nice work Barnesy!

SA playing like Ireland last night. Surprised the Japanese maul held there

RoscoPColtrain

SA really letting them off the hook so far. You get the feeling it’s only a matter of time until the dam breaks though.

Bit of a homer display by Barnes

Will be interesting if it’s still close after 60 mins or so

The Japanese play a really unique brand of rugby. Relies on speed, acceleration, accuracy and fitness. Fascinating to watch it holding the Boks at bay for now It's basically the same as the ABs, but riskier! As an Irish supporter I would love if we just went balls out and tried to play like them A ...

Leitch offside there from the up and under surely?

Japanese have some weird incredible speed

RoscoPColtrain

Theyve definitely given a directive to rule softer for the knockouts

Cheika was meant to be a villain was he? How long were you getting mad about that for?

RoscoPColtrain

It’s amazing how much difference that paywall made. He used to be quite regular here, now you just hear faint echoes from his padded cell

I think Todd knew what he was doing and Owens was looking for a way to punish a bit of blatant cheating, because it definitely prevented the try. What law did Matt Todd break? No arms tackle. Offside. New to the game? Dumbest of dumb posts. Made even worse by the arrogant under-current of your comm...

New Zealand win by 40 points, make it into the semi finals and then whine about the ref. :roll: Will it never stop? :lol: I know what a precious bunch of twats Do both of you miserable wit kant realise this is a rugby forum? Are we not allowed to discuss the technicalities of a contentious decision...

Geez Mo’unga is only 25? That’s a nice surprise, he looks positively middle-aged.

RoscoPColtrain

On reflection this was probably the best play-offs performance of the last 3 tournaments for the ABs. Man-for-man they lack the experience and in some positions to quality of those 2011 and 2015 sides, and they were coming up against a higher ranked side than any of the other teams had to face. Hav...

RoscoPColtrain

I think he got confused with SBW. Yes SBW was hovering offside, although he wasn't part of the play and therefore refs tend to ignore those players. He should, but I suspect he got “offside” in his mind and then pinged Todd. Hopefully WR will clarify it as there will be some fans very confused by t...

The weirdest thing was the TMO immediately agreed with Owens call about him being offside.

RoscoPColtrain

Nige just bottled it. He originally gave the penalty try and yellow for the player stopping the try by being “clearly offside”. He then said the TMO agrees then I guess he finally actually saw the footage himself as they were running back and realised he’d f**ked up and said “erm ah yep no arms tack...

We had a debate inside the pub about this and couldn't work it out either. If you look at the link below, Wales v Oz, AWJ does exactly the same thing at 2:15-2:17ish. https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/video/490713 Owens made a few calls and referrals that were uncharacteristically inconsistent with eit...

I don't know if they'd have enjoyed a pasting from the Springboks any less. They seemed quite timid all round and the bok forwards are probably a harder proposition.

Not with all that lack of rest apparently

RoscoPColtrain

Irelands kick chase game was very poor. It was one of their strengths to exert pressure that way. Either kicks weren't accurate or no one interested in chasing. Barely any pressure on our back three. Very un-Ireland like. Their whole performance was weird, it was like they were stepping on rakes fr...

The YC for Todd was an absolute homer for Ireland. Todd was onside and since when has falling down and defending your line been a YC? Terrible call from Owens that’s Stains an otherwise good game He was offside and dived to protect the goalpost thus preventing a try. Show us the rule where you can'...

Don't pick any woman beaters if you don't want the comments then.

had a feeling you’d be one of the ones to take it badly

An unintentional penalty try???? Er no. Have you ever played a match in your life :lol: it was so blatant What was blatant Duff? The replay clearly showed Todd was onside and did nothing wrong.

No attempt at a tackle, just flung himself in the way.
