Teams surely named shortly. ire to smash England like it’s no tomorrow. Revenge for Ross roasting last time when he lost out on 2019 WC place? Yeah !
That yellow card will be upgraded to red, no doubt. They've 10 minutes, but they're just dotting the i's and crossing the t's to make 100% sure.
Piss poor form if Owen Farrell was booed there
Red all day long, no mitigation, piss idiotic refereeing. Deliberately aim for the head with the shoulder.
Well done James Lowe. What a great try.
Most negative post I think I ever read
Instead of the ref spending 3 min going through it, let it happen during the sin bin period. Speeds the game up
I will say though I think the Farrell hit was worse so if Vunipola gets a ban and Farrell gets off the process is a sham.
Nice try. I'm not sure if its an energy boost from knowing the opponents are down to 14 men or gaps from the English but everything just went smoother in that sequence.
Everything Hansen has done has been top quality
Can a ref still give a straight red or do they have to go for review?
It sounded to me like the booing was for the slo-mo of the shoulder charge.
Confirmation of the red card, they didn’t need the full 10 minutes. He can have no complaints.
That's Vunipola out of the World Cup.
No way they can bring him now. Been crap all game as well.
Saw an nigel Owens interview saying that refs shouldn't be using a bunker if they think it's red should go straight off.
and vunipola off.
Byrne missing these kicks are playing himself out of the 2nd choice 10 position, England need only a try to be one score behind because of these missed kicks.
Can refs give a straight red anymore?
World Rugby have given Vinuipola a red. Great decision. But it should have come much sooner than that by the ref.
Hopefully as the tv scanned to Owen Farrell
They can but I think if they feel they might have to spend 5 min reviewing it they will just go to the bunker
Yes for obvious dangerous play etc
I’m for that but how can the ref on the pitch think something so blatant is only a yellow, mad
I don’t know, but they don't need to when they have this option now.
Crowley now clear 2nd choice
South Africa are a real WC nation. Always turn up. Probably 2003 their worst.
Thought England closed the gap at the last lineout
Can Farrell now call down to the ref and ask him to rescind it??
Just to be fair to the chap, you know
I would love to see Crowley come on either now or the next 2-3 mins, he needs a proper run rather than 5 mins at the end.
Oh no. Lowe and Aki just had a heavy knock there.
Itoje quiet too.
Ive no doubt out performance will improve on this.
Im just not certain englands can. Which would be just terrible, they will be missing Farrrell and Billy bow for a bit
Argentina must be licking their lips at the prospect of turning them over in 3 weeks time.
