Hair pull always a yellow, headbutt always a red and no 20min reprieve in this game.
Maintaining discipline essential and Wallabies should have been a man up.
Yep if you strip out the emotion you are right as lack of discipline from swain meant we moved from temporary advantage being a man up for 10 minutes to a permanent disadvantage for the rest of the game playing with 14 men.

I can’t believe this is going to be potentially the 9th loss in a row to England who through that time have been far from the top NH side.

Psychology - same with playing the ABs.

On Swain, don't do stupid shit and you don't get carded. If the Pom pissed him off enough to go the butt, the Pom beat him.

On Leota, if he is off, surely they have to look at the shin to the head before kick off for the second half.

Wallabies are taking some very low percentage plays in attack tbh.

The rucks they are selecting to commit to when in defence seems to be off as well, allowing a lot of extra space for the English runners.

Very odd behaviour.

But somehow it's only 6-6

I think it's accidental. It's a bit reckless running that line and kicking a player in the head. Maybe min a penalty and yellow just for being so reckless

What happened to Ala'alatoa by the way? Will he play next week or are we without Tupou, him, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes)?

Pull your head in dude!

Ref called that correctly - hair pulling is a yellow (and possible ban) and a head but is always a red.

Calling the ref a grub for getting it right simply isn't on!
No he didn’t get it right

This is what’s wrong with the game

You hear him warn the Pom as it happens thinks nothing more of it and goes back 5 minutes later to look at it with the TMO

It is terrible for the game. It’s pathetic. Why not blow the penalty at the time? Because he knows there is nothing in it.

Terrible officiating
