RWC: NZ v TONGA (Newcastle): POOL C

[teach]

Tongan bringing a tough, physical game. Would have loved to see them take on more Tier 1 nations.

Ref is piggybacking Tonga.

isnt a yellow mandatory for a lifting tackle? It wasn't that bad admittedly but I thought they had to give one.

Read gets one as I speak anyway!

That was fucking pathetic. Not even a penalty.

I think he landed on his arse first so no YC

Ball not even close to line.

 

[Chunderstruck]

So Dan Cole is basically a winger now?

There was nothing wrong with that Smith tackle. On the other hand, the Blecks were lucky not to concede a penalty try.

I plead mitigating circumstances- that turf is like a plowed field

By geez I hope there are no knockout games on any soccer fields. The turf that was flying up as the Tongans tried to push that last ruck over the line was ridiculous, and scrumming on these fields is just crazy.

 

[Upthenuts]

worst turf in ages, how can the props scrum on this shit

 

[Dismal Pillock]

DOOOOOONT WORRY GUYS, JUST SOME GENERAL RUSTINESS

FROM MIDWEEK GOLF

TAKES TIME TO ADJUST BETWEEN SPORTS

HANSENS GOT THIS ONE, HE SAID SO.

NZ just planning for the quarters, testing the density of NH turf conditions by DROPPING THE FUCKING BALL ALL OVER IT, never mind Kieran Read's TOTAL LOSS OF MOTOR SKILLS. YES STEVE FUCKIN HAWKING COULD DO BETTER BUT STEVE DOESNT PLAY GOLF DOES HE,, ANSWER THAT ONE AND STAY FASHIONABLE.

..never mind Kieran Read's TOTAL LOSS OF MOTOR SKILLS. .

Hasn't he just. He's been a complete derphead for a year and a half now. His attempts this match have been worse than crocodile hands. Truly woeful.

How he has gone from world player of the year to this is shocking.

Where is Nasi Manu when we need him?

 

[Dave Beat]

Read's binning - could it have been a penalty try. the Tongans were heading for a try before the maul got turfed.

 

[RedCard]

Never seen NZ look so ordinary as they have done during this tournament. Could easily have had a penalty try against them in that first half with scrum and maul pens. Rest of the teams who might face them really aren't going to have as much fear as normal.

 

[ACR]

One of the worst ruck penalties i've seen in a while.. it continues.

 

[Upthenuts]

franks is lucky to no get a yellow there, thats how soft the games becoming

 

[teach]

Bet Tonga wish they had started the tournament as well as they are finishing.
Bet the ABs wish they showed the same skills as Tonga are showing.

 

[teach]

Like that. Carter cleaning out at a ruck.
