[RWC2019][Pool A] Round 4 - Japan vs. Scotland (13/10/2019)

[Which Tyler]

Not even a yellow?

For what?
Arm was a little high, but player was very low. Head on head is stupid, not illegal

 

[Groundhog]

Toland wondering how that's different to Aki's challenge. Does he have eyes? Imagine having a job commentating when you talk like every match you commentate is the first game of rugby you've ever seen.

 

[Reiser99]

I think Gray gets a bit lucky, because it easily could have been a high tackle. While I agree it was a rugby incident, he is risking a card with tackles like that.

 

[CymruRygbi]

Wow, not even a penalty. The conspiracy to help Japan deepens.

CSI: 横浜

 

[Leinster Fan]

I'd agree with that, that's a clash of heads and not a high tackle.

Not comparable to Aki at all.


Liam Toland is dumb even by Irish rugby commentator standards.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Tamara teaching Russell a lesson here.

 

[Reiser99]

Good kick, but surely penalty against Ritchie, tackled and then didn't even attempt to release.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Scotland need to get their hands on the ball. They're not going to get into the game making another hundred tackles

lack of consistency in application. Player being low can just be said to be a mitigating factor. Grey couldn't control the tackles player's body height.

Head on head is dangerous to both parties, more so than head to muscle. It should be illegal.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

14 tackles by a TH 30 minutes in is frankly insane.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Guys you can't surely be advocating cards for accidental head clashes? The game is ruined enough as it is. I get frustration with consistency but this is not an example of something we want being carded

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Is Berghan a 1 or 3? I dont understand why he hasn't been getting the nod.

So your telling me that... at the moment head-butting is legal

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

3.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Second scrum pen v Dell.

 

[Groundhog]

I'd agree with that, that's a clash of heads and not a high tackle.

Not comparable to Aki at all.


Liam Toland is dumb even by Irish rugby commentator standards.

He's completely lost his head commentating this game. Practically creaming his pants on routine kicks and condemning Laidlaw for putting up a kick chase?

 

[TommiG88]

Dell needs a talking to, as it looks to me that he just did a glasses sign to the ref.

 

[Reiser99]

Come on Japan, one more score before half time. Anything will do.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Come on Yu. This is your moment son!
