Kneeded. Knee'ded'. He knee'd another player and got away with. Yes, he's a standout right now for all the wrong reasons.

I still haven't seen it, was it bad? Anyone have a clip?

Yeah.. maybe. It looks bad. But who knows, the angle provided wasn't the best. But it was deliberate.
Yip!!! If you see my earlier post I stated I think foley an Pocock have been the standouts. Are you really suggesting Wyn Jones has been the standout 2nd rower over De Jäger and Nakarawa? Or are you Valley Commando in disguise?
Come now, it wasn't like it was a trip
.Read some commentator in the UK make he rather fair point that citing commissioners should also be looking to impose bans on guys who incite this stuff with professional fouls by holding guys back off the ball. It's an immediate yellow card in the game, so surely they deserve some sanction in the post match wash up

You're right. At the very least Pocock should have been given a Red Card.

Don't agree, Pococks knee incident very innocuous.
Stand out players Milner-Scudder, AWJ, Picamoles, Cordero, SBW, Biggar, Ayerza, Moore, Slimani, Gorgodza, Warburton, Hooper, Gororamu.
I reckon it's fair play to be honest. If a guy is holding you back off the ball you're within your rights to rather firmly bat them off. If that's with a little bit of massaging of the ribs, then so be it ;-).

Ayerza? At the start of the tournament I was expecting him to have a massive impact in the tournament, but I really don't think he has done anything to warrant being in that list.

You're missing Nakarawa (best performers of the pools imo) Van der Merwe, Foley, Laidlaw, Burger, Watson, Leitch, Dusautoir, the Gray brothers, Imhoff...

It's got to be Brad Barritt, flawless performances! He was a monster in attack making a whole 100 centimeters! You can't by that sort of raw passion and power (well you can because he is a Saffa but never mind). Truely an English great, able to play perfectly and 12 and 13. The Welsh were so scared of him they ran AROUND him like cowards because they didn't want to face his mighty defence!
Stop trolling or. at least, make it more subtle
We could go through every match and find at least one incident in every game that was, at least. as bad
It's getting boring

I was thinking recently how we'd lost our way! There's a man who's better than all rugby players mentioned and not mentioned and people who don't play rugby and extra terrestrial beings and Groundhog combined multiplied by 6 divided by two squared... twice.
They should call him Chainsaw, the way he cuts through the defence. He is the Lionel Messi of Rugby, I've never seen a player with more flair.

The stand out player for me and who deserves man of the tournament is Japan's Captain Michael Leitch, he has led his team to a spectacular upset in this world cup and has played with 150% every game. Surely no one could disagree with me here?
Yes, a giant of the game right there.

Do Wales have a choice but to pick Cuthbert? Considering their injury epidemic?
