Wales look far more accurate compared with the pre-WC matches

Georgia (Pool D)
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.

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

What Georgian defence?

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.
Why is a collapse a couple of metres out only a penalty at one end and a yellow at the other? Both mauls made good ground?
@Stargazer said in RWC: Wales v Georgia (Pool D):
Hmmm
No collapse and that would have been a try regardless of what the ref ruled
@mariner4life said in RWC: Wales v Georgia (Pool D):

Because Wales turned the maul over and were advancing away from their goal line. Ref got it wrong

Except that shouldn't make a difference. He had ruled out a try being probable given the number of defenders around. So all you are left with is 2 collapsed mauls.

Yep. Got it wrong twice.
On his decision, Wales had repelled the Georgian maul and was advancing.
If Wales hadn't collapsed the maul - his interpretation - then Georgia would have been further away from the Wales try line.
The opposite when Wales were advancing towards the Georgian line
@MiketheSnow maybe just doing enough to get the job done bigger games to come

More chance of injury when you make it a contact game, defending rather than attacking
@MiketheSnow seems like a few NH teams are pacing themselves getting used to the Humidity maybe
