Great game so far, but bloody hell the Irish are getting a little boring with their incessant GaryOwens...

Do you reckon that deserved a penalty at all? I couldn't see a single thing wrong with it
It should have been a red really, and Irish fans are gonna feel probably rightly aggrieved if they lose, but I think it would have been a fairly "light" reason to effectively kill the game. From a neutral perspective, I'm glad it didn't happen.
I know he's explained it but I don't have to agree. I think it's a clear shoulder charge and the use of the left arm was incidental.

I'm very impressed by Ireland's fight a lot of teams would have given up down 20-3
If that was a "should have been a red" situation we should all ****ing quit and just play soccer.
I think the end result was right as his left arm was certainly used if a split second after contact was made with his head. I reckon it was 50/50 call as to yellow but penalty was probably right call.
I think j'nuh is referring to the fact had he got yellow he'd have a got a red for double yellow.
Ireland coming back from 17 down to three points behind. It's showing great heart.
If Argentina don't find that intensity they had in the first quarter, then they are going out. They look scared to run the moves they were running first half at the moment.

It's not even remotely in the same galaxy as a shoulder charge... It's a straight attempt at a clean out in a crowded ruck. You seen thousands of them every week and no one raises an eye brow. Pedantic in the extreme for it even to be a penalty; and a poorly justified one at that
Now that was a penalty as the Argentinian deliberately knocked on Murray's pass............
Have to say if Ireland win this one its pretty impressive for any side to come back from 17 down against any tier 1 opposition. If they manage to not have hiccup of the start against other sides they'll be very tough to beat.
A bit messy to be conclusive as a "deliberate" knock down.
As for the high tackle - a bit rough when the Argentine player is falling to shin height
Doubt Australia would be overly troubled by either of these teams.

Madigan can't kick
That was a long advantage for a knock on... usually it's one ruck and that's it.

Long advantage
All getting a little bit scrappy now. Lots of little errors creeping in. I feel there may be a mistake soon that will lead to a try.
We have to beat Scotland yet
. We've had a solid year under Cheika, but as a Wallabies fan I'm taking nothing for granted.Similar threads
