RWC 2015 Semi Final 2 - Australia v Argentina Twickenham, Monday 19 October, 2:45 AEDT

[Hell West & Crooked]

Folau is having 'One of those' Periods... Only solution is to let him play through it - and he will.

Refs will make mistakes.. I don't think Barnes has been too bad so far

Do you consider that ball went forward? I mean the last ball

 

[Hell West & Crooked]

The Ref is fine... but the tackle was never a deserving yellow card..

 

[Iñaki Zubizarreta]

Yep, Barnes has been fine.....

My only critique was the YC.... definitely a penalty, but not a YC.

I agree with you, just penalty

 

[Hell West & Crooked]

Yes, it clearly went forward in the replay - the player even had to spin 180 to try and recover it....

 

[Slim 293]

Actually, one decision against us that was a shocker was when Bosch was clearly off his feet and awarded a penalty at the ruck............

Otherwise, all is good.

 

[Quick Hands]

How does that go forward? Barnes isn't having the best game. Wallabies still had the better half by a mile.

Peyper made that call though. Clearly spoke into his microphone as soon as the incident occurred.

But like the Scotland game, everyone thinks the ref was poor only one way.

 

[Bullrush]

Just watching the highlights from the 1st half....there is a tackle from Pocock just after Mitchell just missed the intercept that looks suspiciously similar to the one that got yellow carded - wouldn't mind seeing it again.

 

[Pedrolicus]

The last penalty for off side at the lineout was a bit harsh as the throw was anything but straight.

 

[Quick Hands]

TMO impact, and in fairness, those tackles have been carded all tournament.

Well Ok, I was wrong then. I thought he turn 180° cause the ball was backwards.. I mean the ball were behind his back

 

[Spruce Moose]

Great half of rugby, thought Australia maybe should be a few more points ahead but can't complain. Pocock and falou looking good also. Think Argentina may slow towards end of game, used 2 subs already.

 

[Hell West & Crooked]

no way he was going to get his hands on the player in that particular tackle.. penalty and a warning....

 

[JJJ]

Definitely a harsh yellow. Seems like he made a couple of even-ups later though. Like not calling the crooked throw. If it'd been more crooked his halfback would've taken it.

Scrum seems to be turning against us. It doesn't help that on their feed they don't seem to take the weight, and on ours they are free to attack. So we haven't been able to have a real go at them yet. The weight of penalties though is heading into familiar danger territory for us.

 

[Quick Hands]

But like the Scotland game, everyone thinks the ref was poor only one way.

There's been no poor calls either way so far, just the usual 50/50s.

 

[Bairdy]

Take out that try scored while the Pumas were a man short and it's quite a contest.

If the Argies can keep finding those little gaps in the defence in the 2nd half, it could be another nail-biter..

Why don't we take out all the Wallabies tries scored. We can deduce that the Wallabies are lucky to be behind by 9

 

[Hell West & Crooked]

I am watching the Argentinian Feed - and they are very Excited!

 

[mxyzptlk]

I don't understand some decisions of the referee

That's okay, neither does Barnes.

 

[Braveheart81]

I am sure that last knock on was when the two players had the ball on the ground, not when the pass initially went to ground off the Argie's hand.
