Sanchez never far from niggle though, either.
I think he got a stray finger in the eye. Hence the over reaction

No contact to eye on replay. He got up pointing to where Sanchez pushed him.

Tupou doesn’t need to get sucked into that stuff like a certain All Black did last week.

As I recall it, black 2 initiated that with a face slap last week.

Are you trying to invent an excuse for him?

I don’t disagree with Hooper’s angle. Most teams know when the opposition have had a team warning, just so happened he was quite far from that discussion. Knowing that had occurred as everyone watching the bloody game also does, means he can change strategy when on attack and put them under pressure to yield a card.

It was because Sanchez tried to kick at the ball in a dangerous area. Tupou was trying to pick it up.
Just watched the replay again, don’t think his attempted kick was anywhere near a player, let alone the ball. Sanchez slapped the ball clear, and Tupou punched him in the arse. Still Tupou kicking it off.

Look again.

Looks like he wants to get sucked in.
It was a little slap on the back.
His fist was closed and he swung pretty blindly.

He’s gotten away with it a couple times but needs to pull his head in before he costs his team.

It's not tiddlywinks sweety

Look again.

He kicked at mid air, the ball was well gone and already scooped back by Tupou. He made no contact with anyone. Tupou reacted to bail, being slapped.

12-6 Wallabies and Argies with a man in the bin. 45 mins gone.

This is all quite niggly - silly penalty to get reversed.

I sat in front of a big screen and watched it buddy. Not only did that grub black-2 (as voted by NZR players) slap the RG on the face, it was a reach-around from behind. Taranaki under 10 girls nonsense.

Your team got beat last week because they went in arrogant and didn't respect their opposition, and their complacency saw them ambushed. Stop making up excuses for them. Do they still refuse to have a beer with their opponents after the game?

Nothing to do with you, its to do with BBB trying to re-write history.

Why does the ref keep stopping people from competing at rucks? The Aussie player was on his feet and through the middle there but the ref tells him to leave the ruck.

In the last 7 minutes Dugunu has amply demonstrated why he should never play for the Wallabies again. Not only is he a turnstyle in defence, he has done nothing in attack.

Bindi · Post by **Bindi** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 11:38 am

Badly needed Tate at the end there. AAA is probably better starting, with Tupou coming on at 45. Sio is rubbish; Bell is way ahead.

Generally poor game plan and looked lost. Rennie out!
