He deliberately obstructed the base of the goalpost to prevent the Irishman from touching the ball against that aforesaid base.

I saw it in real time and had a chuckle.

He did. It was quite cynical. But he didn’t break any of the rules in doing so, it was completely within the laws. One of the few wrong decisions of Owens career.

Not even a penalty really bizarre.

I'll hold my hand up in admitting I haven't actually read the rulebook, but isn't "being on the way" the fundamental base of defense?

first Cadbury kicks the ball away agaisnt Japan in the final minutes, now he tries to convert a 'penalty' try....not very smart ..is he? ...i'm shocked he is a kiwi...

No arms tackle, unsportsmanlike play.

He was preventing the ball being grounded, you can use any body part. Base of the post is considered in goal.

After that point we crumbled though.

The match against England is the final IMO

I agree, it's not so much that the Irish were so bad, it's just that our boys were on fire tonight.

So transparent and classless .... like a lot of your fellow principality knackers unfortunately

Well done NZ

Only one team in it

If you're going to lose to a team do it a year before the World cup quarter finals

Don’t agree, you were very good but we were very poor. Way too many unforced errors.
Congrats again.

2nd half has just kicked off again on ITV+1

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

Beauden was a very good Gaelic Footballer by all accounts.

Aaron Smith was by far our key player - easily MoTM.

Meath/Cavan border but maybe some Irish connection as they were there with their father on a farm swap plus their Irish look and name?

he did well in the first half but fell off a bit in the 2nd, ardie was good throughout ..

Can we sub you off for someone with half a brain?

He tackled the player without his arms. Regardless if he intended to or not.

sonic_attack wrote:Is that Todd yellow legit?

I mean it's done, but how can he be offside?

I just went back to look at the replays of that... he wasn't offside at all.
Owens immediately stated that Todd came in from an offside position..... which he clearly didn't as he was behind the line.
Then Owens reiterated and said he came in from an offside position to deliberately block the posts.
You can see Todd went for a shoulder block on Stander and got shunted back into the posts by Stander and his support players.... he didn't try to dive in front of the posts at all.
Owens got that whole thing wrong, but he clearly wanted to give Ireland something so what can you do?
Pretty f**king gutless by Owens considering Ire should have been carded multiple times in the first half.

The whole pack did a job, but I felt Read led from the front and looked like the player of a few years ago... Ardie was good too... even Owen Franks performed well according to some...

Multiple times? Really? I’ll give you the neck roll on Savea. But what were the other YC missed?

Yeah, Smith probably desrves MOTM but Goodhue had a sensational first half.

Smith couldn't help getting pulled ... we always do that. Read put in a good night at the coal face but Smith was the key to our game. So wins my vote.

Yep, tough call, pretty much all the ABs had decent games.
