    I’ve watched a good amount of the matches this WC and that’s the most dangerous tackle I’ve seen so far.

    Mustve not seen the tip tackle red card in the SA vs Samoa game.

    Barnes is a coward, plain and simple.

    That yellow card was smoking he pulled it out so fast to avoid a debate and having to make a proper decision.

    Disgrace.

    That was a disgraceful decision by Barnes.

    Wayne Barnes acted too quickly. He should have watched the replays.

    I feel Wales are probably better suited to the structured style SA (likely) will bring. You regularly have the number of Ireland and England yet struggle with the likes of France and Australia which on paper would make no sense. I think you’ll be better set against South Africa if it is them

    So you are all calling that a red card. I'm not so sure and the beast isn't a player with a bad history of that sort of stuff either.

    Japan very effectively blocking the SA runners chasing the high balls.

    Surely a coward would just let the TMO make the recommendation and just go with it?


    He obviously felt he was right there and was sure what he saw , rightly or wrongly he was decisive.

    It's only a matter of time until SA get it right.

    He picked him up and drove him past the horizontal, where the players head made the first contact with the ground.

    That's nothing but a red under the framework, past history and whether he meant to do it has no play in it.

    History was irrelevant. Player was tipped beyond the horizontal and not guarded back to ground. Red buh-bye.

    Only on possible foul play. Ref's call in the end.

    Did the Japanese player put the ball down and pick it back up there a couple of phases ago?

    The amount of offsides from Japan in that attack was ludicrous and none of them called.
