RWC QF 4 AUS v SCO (Twickenham) 19th Oct 0200 AEDT

[Viking]

Is Quade Cooper kicking to the posts?

If he made the mistake Foley did this half their would be an uproar.

 

[Alex]

Joubert is a lottery.

Best thing about that half may be it is the second last half we see Joubert ref this WC

have the refs been named for the semi's and final already?

 

[pjm]

Nothing wrong with players behind (not sure it was legal when it splintered though)

Only splintered due to Scotland's illegal play.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

IRE and FRA were close to their opponents in the other QF's as well.

Have patience my friends. Stay Calm and #BringBackBill

 

[TahDan]

Still can't get over that bloody terrible try we let in... just.what.the.fuck!

 

[Forcefield]

Looked like one of the Scottish players was still bound to the splintering section when it splintered (i.e. same maul).

 

[Brumby Runner]

Where's the defence?

Poey's sitting this one out.

 

[Highlander35]

Biggest structural issue I can see for us is Russell is standing 6-8m too deep on central kickoffs. The high short bomb straight up the middle will continue to be effective if that doesn't change.

Otherwise kick the points from straight in front, maul from out wde and you should roll over us.

Yeah. Letting Sio getting away with not supporting his bodyweight was the most atrocious decision all world cup so far.

 

[jollyswagman]

Foley stocks are plummeting.....

I don't know why they even bother. Just don't engage off the lineout. It is the best maul defence.

 

[Viking]

It wasn't that bad. Gezzzz.

 

[Dewald Nel]

It wasn't that bad. Gezzzz.

Exactly. I'm being sarcastic.

 

[Mr Doug]

fuck we need a good goal kicker

I hope the "specialist kicking coach" is in the dressing room to get into Foley's head?!

 

[ACR]

It wasn't that bad. Gezzzz.

I don't know, it did stick out as just blatantly, undeniably wrong.

That's just for us fans to whinge about though. Players should all know not to leave it up to the ref to decide the game.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

amazed the Scots hot potato game is actually working (if by not dropping the ball and going pretty much nowhere means its working)

as soon as Aus get in oppo 22 they look about a 50% chance of scoring a try. wouldnt panuck yet Straya. Might need to shore some shit up at the other end though.

I agree

Well if that was the most shady call all game so far the ref isn't doing that bad. Could be much much worse.

 

[biggsy]

When goal kicking has never been so important and foley turns up worth this.
Better get his goal kicking together ASAP

The ball is lava.
