[RWC2019][Pool D] Round 1 - Wales vs. Georgia (23/09/2019)

[Abraxaz]

That is definitely a knock on from Davis.

No it went back of his forehead

 

[Bada-Bing!]

No it went back

are we talking about the same one or are you just being facetious?

 

[User1245]

I've had it up to here with the bloody refs telling players how to play in this first round. Telling Georgia to use the ball when they have a dominant scrum?!
Russia vs Japan match sounded like a junior school match the way the ref was going on

 

[Rinkadink]

Well he did say it was off his forehead which is part of the face.

Facetious

 

[TommiG88]

Davies looked offside when he knocked on again.

 

[Iron Lion Zion]

Does Wales look a little tired?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Knocking out your 10 in the warm up doesn't sound like very smart training, tbh

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Georgia look like they've never defended before. At sixes and sevens out there against well executed but basic moves.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Not point of watching the second half is there? Imagine they'll empty the bench

 

[Reiser99]

Ironically this is probably the most boring game yet despite some good Wales tries. Georgia don't look like challenging and Wales don't look like fluffing their lines.

Aye,
They're well up for tackling people who run at them but lose the plot at the slightest hint of a dummy runner or angle

 

[ncurd]

Real question now, can Wales score more tries than they did in the six nations?

The target is 10 is equal, 11 to beat.

I think Georgia have challenged Wales more defensively than Tonga did to England yesterday.

I actually think Tonga's tactics yesterday were to not get stuffed, so defended hard and didn't go chasing the game.

I get that, but they still don't look like scoring. Against Tonga though Engkand made it hard work. Not even a question of will they get the BP now.

 

[Reiser99]

Fair play Georgia. Great response.

 

[Reiser99]

I do think the offside rule from a knock on is a little harsh. Players have a split second to stop all their instincts which is to catch the ball.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Bizarre he's not gone for the penalty try there.

 

[Abraxaz]

Haha yellow card for that but not for the knock on.

In cases like that I've seen refs bend the laws.

Seems sensible but it would be brave or foolish for a ref to do it during a WC match given the implications.
