Also forgot on the 11th Kenya vs Zambia

Couldn't find it on the Beeb or Channel 4 which is where most of the UK matches have been so far. My stream says Premier Sports. George Robson and an ex-Wales women captain whose voice I recognise, but name escapes me, on comms.

It said at the start of the match that pressing the red button gives you English commentary with Eddie Butler, but my red button does fuck all.

I sympathise with the frustration over scums being a shit show, but I never like the "I don't know what's happening, so you're both going off" yellow cards.

Might get off with a yellow because the Welsh player was dipping a touch?

Doesn't look good and the Argie should've gone in lower.

Edit - red. Can't really argue. Arg down to 13 for a bit while both teams have players in the bin.

Ironic that Dickson called that when he's let far worse go this season.

Maybe someone in the RFU reffing structure has given him a deserved bollocking and reiterated how the framework is actually supposed to work.

It was red all day for me, game probably ruined as a spectacle now though.

I'd be more interested in 9's attempted rip going across the Argentina player's face than 7's tackle.

Wales very ordinary, Argentina not really having to try too hard. I suspect a half time bollocking on the cards

Wales again getting their red card bonus I see.

A shame the 20 min replacement thing got vetoed by those who never trialled it themselves.

He was very, very good for a few seasons at Wasps before his call up. Never quite been the same since.

LOL. ABs go 8 phases this morning and keep advantage. Welsh commentator says adv over after 1 kick.

Sanchez's sh*t dead ball kicking will cost them this game.

The point of advantage is that you shouldn’t end up worse off by the end. Hence the name advantage!!

If you get advantage whilst kickable pen, it should always at the very least go back to that. Perhaps and IMO it should go back to that pen well before 8 phases.

However it should never just finish in mid play, where there was a point gaining opportunity like a pen kick.

Wales just went 6 phases in advantage. Should that have just stayed as knock on against Wales ?? Of course not.
