Thank God it isn't being upgraded to a red.

Phew. Hooray for the officials. Some early communications issues but their hearts are in the right place.

That's one where I reckon he got it down, but the onfield fairly will chalk it off

 

[Duct Tape]

Would love to see Canada be competitive.

In another thread someone mentioned since the professional era Canada and Romania are the two nations that have declined the most.

Or US. But a pipe dream.

Judging from the empty seats it looks like even I could have gotten a last second ticket to this match.

 

[General Melchett]

A yellow still seems harsh for that

 

[die_mole]

Uruguay could have gotten an intercept but they went for the man

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Uruguay so good at the breakdown, especially Ardao. They need to play smart with a man down. Italy have awoken a bit but remain uninspiring.

Am I just a newbie or do the in-goal areas not look very deep?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Lamaro is a stud tbf.

Football stadium

How does the BP work now?

I do not know about this particular stadium, but some football stadia are being used and they are shorter. So yes, shorter in goal.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

How does the BP work now?

4x tries = BP.
lose by 7 or less points = BP

 

[Duct Tape]

Can more educated folks here explain the first half penalty try? It seemed to me from the replays that the Italian prop was bowled over at the line and was trapped under a URU player. Thx.

 

[IT157]

Very costly yellow card. Harsh as well but can why it is given these days unfortunately.

There's a minimum and maximum size, 6-22m if memory serves.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Credit to Italy, a significant step up in the second half and showing no mental frailty. They could run away this now they are physically on top.

 

[ntun82]

4x tries = BP.

If you lose less 7 scoring 4 tries, two Bp?

 

[IT157]

He dropped it it appears. No try

Still France and NZ will kill us
