[RWC2019][Pool C] Round 1 - England vs. Tonga (22/09/2019)

[Ragey Erasmus]

Tongans not behind the line and shoulder charge on Young's...

 

[ratsapprentice]

England ball, hands on the floor.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Tom "Katsu" Curry

You're good. I've never seen such raw talent.

 

[ratsapprentice]

England ball, hands on the floor.

Watson got sin binned and pen try against him for similar 18months ago

And he shouldn’t have.

 

[TommiG88]

England ball, hands on the floor.


And he shouldn’t have.

Agreed, but there needs to be consistency

 

[Reiser99]

If he's played it there on the floor then it should also be a YC.

 

[TheSaffycen]

I'd probably say that is penalty try imo, might be biased

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'd probably say that is penalty try imo, might be biased

At the very least it's a yellow, surely

 

[CymruRygbi]

I'd probably say that is penalty try imo, might be biased

Might?

 

[HenryChinaski]

I know Tonga were everywhere and hands were fiddling but all we needed was a tiny little bit of calm from Youngs and england at the base of that ruck and it's a sure 7 pointer

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Shoulder to the face,

Play on boyos

 

[TheSaffycen]

Might?

I just feel if you shoulder charge someone there it has to be at least a yellow, then the cynical play?

 

[ncurd]

Yellow in my opinion.

 

[ratsapprentice]

How much lower can Kalamafoni go?!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

If this is deemed legal then I hope they go back rescind the yellow card and penalty try against Watson a couple of years ago, when he seat belt tackled a diving player

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Some logic by the ref

 

[ratsapprentice]

Great decision. Bang on.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Right decision

 

[bushytop]

Mitigation’s what you need... if you wanna be a record (jaw) breaker, record (bone)breaker...er.

 

[Jimbo]

that’s the correct decision without a doubt.
