Fre reffing is dire. A mix of blind incompetence with the only other consistency being decisions favouring the home team or big team.

Second man spoiling the ruck . He let England slow the ball all game long. Fiji unfortunately too passive here.

Pity for Fiji.

100% this. See above.

Whoever wins tonight will bury this Eng team.

Ridiculous
Yeah, that looked completely wrong

But he's done that all game so Fiji not adapting not exactly smart.

One man out rugby on an eggtimer got the inevitable.

Needed to get some pace on it and get it wide. Fiji been brain dead since half time against Aus.

Yellow card.

But no way Raynal will give it.

Wayyyyy too slow ball to be of any use.

See previous. I think there is a valid viewpoint that one thing that hinders Fre player discipline is the fact that T14 refs are so utterly sh*te.

Many things have improved in Fre rugby. Reffing is not one of them.

The winner of this QF will go all the way. :think: Too early to make calls like that Oom. NZ looked great. Another performance like that in the final and they can take it. If we get past France, we might still trip over England or get stomped by NZ in the final. We are still in with a shot for sure...

All over. Well played Rugs

So who's done with international rugby for Ireland now? O'Mahony, Sexton, Murray, Earls, Aki, Kilcoyne? Lowe, Henshaw, McCloskey, Gibson-Park, Henderson, Bealham, Furlong, Beirne all the wrong side of thirty as well. Was thinking about this earlier today, who do they actually have coming through at...

That simple 3 point miss is going to haunt him.

Yes because it meant NZ could defend those last minutes with just that more aggression knowing a pen wasn't enough for Ireland.

Or maybe win it as Afg press the panic button. 4 over throws on a no chance run out

So do Eng still go for it or try and bat out overs to limit RR damage?

And that, ladies and gents, is game over.

Eng batting like Pakistan

privileged middle class gonna privileged middle class. You take that back :mad: Dude, you buy world war fucking two airplanes to fuck about with, you couldn't be any more privileged, despite hating Britain! Post war. And doesn't make any of the statement correct. And I absolutely don't hate Britain...

Interestingly this will be the Naki's second trip to the final, they won their only previous match in 2004. Hawkes Bay need to do it today to put two unexpected teams into the final :clap: Anyone else sick of the top three teams winning year in year out? Well, your wish is reality :lol: Win for the...

You take that back

Hello Eben Etzebeth. We need lineout domination. 100% my fear. Woki is "short" (1cm shorter than the closest of top 4 second row) Flament is very tall (1.96 and 2.03) Then you have 3 other options with Olivon at 1.99 Jelonch 1.93 and even Aldritt as been jumping at 1.90 Eben is 2.03 and M...

I know I've seen you wear a French shirt IRL, but are you actually French or was it the only clean shirt you had available? Mr Byrite wasn't open. I hear it's still popular down your way though? :grin: I deal a lot in Jerseys, if you still have the French top I'll give you £30 for it :lol: I sold o...

Barnes finally gives a penalty. Well done New Zealand. Cracking performance. Sam Cane's best display for five years. Too much pace and power for Ireland, who at times looked incredibly ponderous with Sexton at walking pace for much of the second half . Great tries by NZ, too. The best players on th...

That was as epic as anyone could have hoped for. WR have really fucked this up, Ireland do not deserve to go out whilst two from that other side of the draw go through Agree but in the end you have to beat the best sides to win the comp. and Ire stumbled here. I don't think there would be any compl...

I'd pay good money to see the meltdown. Everyone will be being blamed from Barnes to Burns.

Bad man.

Torquemada 1420 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 7:02 pm Ireland dead in the water. Looks like Barnes is going to ping them at the breakdown

Fitting that another breakdown pen finishes Ire off.

Murray needs a bus to each breakdown.

Sexton looks shot for last 10 mins. Just shovelling the ball on.

Poor by Kelleher. If you break off the back you have to score. Great defence but mistake by the hooker. No patience and that was the game for the taking. Boils my piss when hookers do that. Turner did it in Scotlands 22 last week and lost a pen. Mauvaka is generally spot on in that regard hence his...

PR must be in meltdown

Nope.

Other than the instant try, Ire have looked worse against 14 men.

Ire losing the plot now.
