Italy vs South Africa - 15/11/2025

[Which Tyler]

Italian gets away with one there, though not egregious

 

[Which Tyler]

Oh so it's purely procedural and incredibly prone to human interpretation and error. That tracks for WR completely.

Essentially, yes.
There's no difference in threshold, just in whether the reffing team can decide in 1 minute or so.

Worth noting too is that the above is my understanding. I'm not a ref, and I absolutely reserve the right to be wrong

No arms tackle on Van Staden. No TMO.

All anyone wants is consistency. Impossible with this lot.

They checked it and deemed he was attempting to wrap

 

[ChicagoKid]

WTF is Doleman looking at right now?

 

[ChicagoKid]

They checked it and deemed he was attempting to wrap

Then they are blind and incompetent.

Yep, looks ok

Have you ever watched a match without abusing the ref?
No ref, no game.

Abusing the ref = no class


ETA: sorry, I'm not sure it was you who was incessantly abusing the ref in the summer, I think it might have been a new poster from USA.
The rest stands though

Yes. Go look at my post history.

To be fair its hardly abuse, and if you want to slate the ref this is defo the forum, i like a good ref and WR bashing, but i like to think i complain about it across the board, not on behalf of any hemisphere or team

He’s a little snotnose dipshit. Pay him no mind.

 

[dirty harry]

SA are complaining constantly to ref, it really looks whiney!

See now thats more akin to abuse hahahaha

Term of endearment in Chicago.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

That’s definitely accidental obstruction from SA 14, right? Completely blocks Menoncello from making the tackle on Willemse.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dumbest attempted turnover you'll ever see, bet there's a massive divot in the ground from his forehead he went off his feet so forcefully

 

[ntun82]

Welcome to Turin, my city!

 

[ChicagoKid]

Fair call. @Which Tyler

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I was about to praise SA's defence (and it is elite) but that's dumb. Italy need a try while they're down to 13.
