If this was a France try they wouldn't have even looked at it.

I'm listening/watching on my laptop while working, so I'm behind the TV coverage. I meant the yellow-not-red, the decisions are all over the shop.

Surely a collapse that close to the line its a penalty try...and why the fuck kick, clear overlap, just ho through the hands.

He's so used to reffing his own beloved Crusaders that he tends to get carried away in favour of one side.

He isn't great. Excellent from Uruguay but they will fade.

France are just downright poor, well done Uruguay for rattling their cage. Edwards gonna flay them alive in the changing room. I honestly think France thought this would just be a training run.

Steady, he has some distance to go to reach that level of shiteness.

I heard Penaud is playing, is he? Did he actually touch the ball in the first half?

I think O'Keefe has been fine. Could easily have binned a Uruguayan there near the end of the half and didn't.

The red card non call is the TMOs decision.

Amazing that the French haven't worked out a way to lose the replays yet.

France should have fielded their U20s side, they may have matched the hunger shown by the Uruguayans
