Pool D - Australia, Wales, Georgia, Fiji, Uruguay

[Howe_zat]

Parkes is having an amazing game. He's everywhere.

 

[Howe_zat]

Penalty but not high imo

 

[ripper868]

Surprised Hooper didn't get a yellow tbh. Biggar having a little dive helped things though.

 

[ripper868]

The hold up tackle tactics seem to surprise Australia every world cup.

 

[ripper868]

AAC never doubted him

Kerevi is carrying the Wallabies right now.

 

[ripper868]

And Foley shows why he was picked with that conversion...ffs

 

[Howe_zat]

AAC is just smart. Taking that kick while making an angle inside leaves him a mile away from the two covering defenders. Ain't got to run so fast if you're already in the right place.

 

[Howe_zat]

Breathless, this.

Don't think it's in Wales' best interests to keep the ball alive in broken play. Kerevi and Koriobete looking dangerous.

 

[ripper868]

The give it to Kerevi game plan is effective it seems.

Hint of shoulder charge by Biggar on Kerevi on that break I thought...

 

[ripper868]

Hooper stiffed there...but that may be my bias.

 

[Howe_zat]

Hmm, think Hooper can feel hard done to there. Could have been a penalty the other way for holding.

Hooper stiffed there...but that may be my bias.

Nah I agree. But Hooper lives by the sword, it happens.

 

[ripper868]

Oh **** off...if Kerevi gets done for this...that action happens in every tackle...the holding the ball for **** sake.

 

[ripper868]

That is the worst penalty of the world cup.

 

[ripper868]

Hooper correct in that summary...so you cant run hard at a guy?

 

[Howe_zat]

If you forearm a bloke in the throat it's a yellow card. It might have been just about legal, but it's not normal, not by a long way.

 

[StephenZA]

Heartbreak for Aus that.

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh, well, that makes it rather irrelevent doesn't it.

 

[ripper868]

**** me...10 points from kerevi running over a bloke too hard.

 

[Howe_zat]

**** me...10 points from kerevi running over a bloke too hard.

There's no way you can assign the try to that decision.

 

[Burgey]

Australian rugby as embarrassing as ever save an accident of history between 91-03. ****ing woeful.
