Game over for NZ?

 

[SAguy]

Amazing, wow.
Massive win

 

[Pegging]

Looks like we win the rugby championship.

Unless we do f up big time.

 

[Speedster]

And no BP for NZ either. Lovely

Massive upset. Well done Argentina.

The Argies will more than likely get pounded next game after such a performance today. They probably wont be able to replicate it a second week in a row.

Hopefully the Boks will learn from the game and not take the Argies lightly when they play them.

Has anyone heard from ser John Kirwan?

Very likely, but it shows they can play at tier 1 level easily. Where as Australia is looking like a tier 2 team

Gents what’s up with latest contact to the head rules, today only a yellow was given, and one no yellow.

Last World Cup, if you just looked at someone’s forehead, it was sent to the bunker boys, and red carded, then upgraded with a 4 week ban.

Same rules as the last couple of years. Players have just adjusted their techniques. I didn't see the NZ game but the Marx one there was mitigation in that he was low and the attacker's body position changed just before contact.

Sure I get that, but do you remember Tom Curry vs Argentina red card and ban during the WC. Does not make sense.

Yes, upright head on head for Curry. Contact on ball for Jessie.

What about a shoulder to the head? Or is it only head to head contact that’s a red card offence.

Are there still people looking for consistency in how rugby laws are applied?

You are more likely to find an honest politician.

If you're still stuck in the Jessie incident, you do know there's a reverse angle?
