How come the home teams have the same starting time every week?

robbed ioane of a try but luckily naholo scored in next phase.

Wales dominating. Saw a stat pop up that they'd only had to make 11 tackles after 24 minutes. New Zealand were on 90. Still winning...

Barnes dominating.

Wales have had tons of ball and territory but apart from that excellent try they've been remarkably blunt.

I think the real problem is that your front five is a bit lacking in depth.

Biggar trip Barrett with his leg there, incredibly lucky to get away with it.

Didactic Ninja

mckenzie gets coathangered and barnes shouts " he ducked into it"


I thought that didn't matter any more? onus is on tackler. protecting the head etc.

Didactic Ninja

standard nz yellow. Barnes gonna Barnes.

Didactic Ninja

Barrett copped a neck high. Nothing from Wayne

I'm not sure about the rugby, but in terms of crying about the referee it was a masterful display. Just another area we can learn from the ABs and their fans.

Decent game. Ref was poor.

Was wondering how many yellows did Wales,England,Ireland and Scotland get in this Autumn series ? Did they get any?

Careful there big fella, between our coaches and players you'll be criticising your own soon .

And presumably you watched Ireland vs Argentina which coincided with the game i watched so I am guessing but are you just dismissing my criticisms out of hand or did you think Barnes reffed well? Unless you watched both games concurrently.

Didactic Ninja

One think i will give Barnes, is that he doesn't award ruck penalties unless the defending player actually has hands on the ball. He doesn't award pens for people feigning turnovers or just sticking their hands into the ruck and shouting sir sir sir

I'd go out on a limb and say you planned to enjoy whining about the referee and were not disappointed. Any rugby you witnessed was purely incidental.

That about right?

As I said, I don't know about the rugby. I'm purely commenting on the quality of the whining without being distracted by things as irrelevant as performances.

whether right or wrong, his performance was what it was and I had no influence over that. You can continue to play the man instead of the ball but he had a stinker, and your opinion on me cannot change what his performance was.

ref gifts france a try that was no way high

Playing the man instead of the ball is encouraged in rugby.

What the hell is going on at half time in the France game?

ScrubsfanChris

13 to 15 in that Japanese backline are on fire in attack

13-15 ahead

I expect better from a mod, albeit from a different forum. You are looking for a row. Not discussing any of the incidents in question from the game and just baiting me.

Exhilarating rugby from Japan. I thought that they had gone backwards after the world cup but this is impressive.

ScrubsfanChris

Japan with another try 23-23 with just 6 minutes to go!!!
