    Nigel doesn't need a TMO. Waste of money.

    Don't know what the commentator is talking about, the guy was standing absolutely still, if the ball went forward it's a forward pass, you can't apply the momentum/direction of the hands argument

    Ah shame. Hope the Tongan heads don't drop now, they're still very much in it.

    Are you referring to this game? Aside from the tmo being overly pedantic I think the officials have been great in this game. First half was less than 50 minutes.

    Yes. Nigel uses the TMO when he needs to but generally speaking he has his mind made up and sticks with it. Peyper last night was using the TMO to make decisions for him.

    Is that the 18 year old? Been watching with the sound off in case I accidentally hear some commentary. He looks very very good, some French team will no doubt snap him up.

    He looks good but maybe a bit indecisive at times, but frankly he looks better than any 18 year old Irish scrum half I've seen in a while. He put in a stonker of a box kick at one stage so he can kick anyway.

    both teams missing touch from penalties a few times is poor

    **** me the Georgian defence is superb.

    Just as I type that they give away a penalty, but still. Smashing the Tongans back five metres every time.

    Amazed there's been no injuries so far. Huge collisions in every tackle.

    So all the talk about straight feeds and using the ball rather than scrummaging for penalties before the tournament was just talk.

    On this showing Argentina should be worried. Georgia look very strong everywhere Argentina are. Argentina have the edge in the backs but the Georgian defence looks very secure against the big Tongan backs. If they had a decent kicker they'd be out of sight.

    What a run by the Georgian full-back. Nice try in the end!

    That was a ****ing great try. If Ireland scored that we'd be talking about it for years to come. Lovely hands from the Georgians, especially the forwards.

    Ah come on. They butchered it only for the ball to scoot out and the Tongan to whiff in the tackle.

    Nice finish but Tongas defence is ****e.
