2020 RC/Tri Nations Round 6: Australia vs Argentina (Saturday 5 December)

[Oliver Madden]

That’a a bloody harsh yellow, JOC is crouching, his knee was pretty much on the ground, too the letter of the law maybe but jeez

very harsh. This is not a pretty watch at all.

 

[Kiwiwomble]

...they’ve set the bar, has to be red

 

[Kiwiwomble]

Everyone said it was straight to the head...then the ref just decides it was initially to the shoulder...weird

How is that not a red card?. Contact with force straight to the head. Poor call.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Class finish from Delguy, what a handoff.

 

[big ginger 8]

Shocking defence by Koroibete. Lovely try though..

And the announcer said Sanchez faked it like a soccer player. I disagree.

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Umm yeah that looked straight to the head with significant force to me

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Yawn. Australian commentators make the game more boring I reckon. Probably because they talk such a load of ?!:*^ that I stop listening to them.

To be fair, i would have accepted an "off your feet" penalty against us. Harsh but i'd take it over that yellow card.
Sometimes it's as if the people who write the laws have never played the game.

And i think MH got away with murder, but then again, the rules are just silly. In that situation, any player just needs to stick out his head, get low enough and he is virtually untouchable.

What i found most disturbing is the TMO saying shoulder first.
I mean, i think we can al understand him missing something that actually happened. But claiming to see something that actually didn't happen? wtf.

I think the whole thing was made worse by JOC not being a forward and trying to stand up to it...folded like...like...well, like a back

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What an idiot

 

[Kiwiwomble]

What an idiot

That is now the text book example of a high shot

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Discipline optional

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Off the post

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Fitting for it to be hooper who lost it

 

[Umaga's Witness]

And again, yikes

 

[The Seeker]

Another draw. Oh well...

 

[Umaga's Witness]

3 draws in a calendar year must be a record

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

What stupid way to throw a game.
