And stop the farking screaming in the crowd. Faaark
Georgian full-back's missus
Georgian forwards very slow around the park (as expected). Wales having a field day off the set piece.
Wales very impressive so far.
Not sure what just happened, as don't have comms, but what was the ruling to keep the Welsh number 9 on the pitch?

Not a knock on by G Davies, so all good

Better to be lucky than good ...

So much for the Georgian scrum
Aren't they they uber scrum?
Better ...
@MiketheSnow said in RWC: Wales v Georgia (Pool D):
Georgia deserve something from this
It's a good period of play for them, but you just know that Wales will turn it and score at the other end.
Georgians getting the raw end of the 50:50 decisions by this clown of a ref.
Lucky the touchie isn't blind. Wales will win easy so enforce the laws ffs.

Scrumhalf's "failed intercepts". Ruck turnovers where the player doesn't support their own weight, has another go at the ball. Tighthead prop getting done, etc.
All shit that happens in the course of a game but has vastly magnified negative effects on tier 18 teams.
Hadleigh Parkes is perfect foil for this Welsh side. He was only ever seen as a journeyman down here but he's always been effective on the crash which is what you want from your modern day 12. Josh Navidi also leading the way on defence.

Letter of the law correctly officiated by the ref on the first one.
If you don't think that was a genuine attempt for the intercept on the second one, then
a) you need to take your Minnow Suit off
b) you haven't watched G Davies play. He does it every match. Normally catching it.
Breakdown has been well contested by both sides. Ref has been on it. Wales been penalised once if not twice.
And early on the Georgian scrum was getting stuffed and deservedly penalised.
@KiwiMurph said in RWC: Wales v Georgia (Pool D):
Wallabies had a much better challenge against Fiji. Wales are barely out of 2nd gear here.
Except when carving the Georgian defence open from first phase ball.

Yeah, no way Ball should have won that penalty despite what the comms said. I thought WR was getting strict with players putting their hands on the ground in front of the ball before attempting to grab the ball. That directive has obviously been ignored in this game and others at the RWC so far.
Wales are looking slick when they move the ball at speed.
Watching the half-time TV analysis.
can someone send Warburton for elocution lessons? He doesn't sound Welsh at all - unlike that Anscombe bloke who's on with him

But.
Was carbon copy of a PK against Wales, so no point banging the T1 bias drum for that one. Been consistent.

Not when the ref makes up part of the law.
If you don't think that was a genuine attempt for the intercept on the second one, then
Then we have a different interpretation of the word reasonable.
I'll leave it there to be polite since you're emotionally invested in the game.

Nice cop out
Ref just penalised Wales for collapsing the maul, when AWJ had turned over the ball.
The bias against T2 teams is terrible.

Eh? I never said the ref was biased against Georgia, just wrong on that penalty and others. The same by refs in other games.
