Was that actually on side? Confused.
Technically the TMO was right. However there is a serious issue if the TMO is getting involved in looking at technical offences. Most tries will be ruled out if that is the level of precision that is expected from the TMO.
I didn't think the TMO could get involved with that sort of thing?

They changed the protocol. Again.

TMO Ben Skeen, Someone tell this knob not to give up his day job. Oh wait, he's deputy principal at Auckland Grammar. He should stick to his day job, being pedantic is perfect.
At least one thing is guaranteed - we won't get him as a TMO anytime soon. Hopefully he is working as a special op to ensure we get the right opponent later on in the tourney...kinda like a Suzy.
@taniwharugby 26 - 3 to the Aussies after 47 minutes

Did Kuridrani just do the ol' toot toot thing he does... my god he did - its Uruguay for christ sake.
Missed tackles the biggest point of difference. Everything else is remarkably competitive. Great effort by Uruguay.
Uruguay caused the Aussies a few problems at breakdown time, managing to get underneath the Aussies and beat them to the punch especially in the 1st half when Australia weren't committing numbers.
Job done for the Wallabies.

Jordan Petaia being dubbed as "Pe-tay-ah."
Had a Google of that a few months ago and there is the possibility that they're getting that right.
Apparently you can pronounce the A either long or short in Samoan.
Would like to get Jordan's own take on pronunciation.
Much like Manus Labuschagne deciding his name should be pronounced Labooshayne (or Josh Parparlee who plays for the Canberra Raiders) because Australaia.
Fucking French refs are an absolute joke.
Add Skeen to the mix and it's an abortion.
Most innocuous chin tap from Coleman sets the YC precedent and then ref proceeds to ignore Hooper and Beale.
Hooper should have seen yellow and penalty try to Uruguay.
Would have been interesting to see how Australia reacted to that.
Australia really are a team of thick bullies, which is hardly surprising considering the coach they have.
Off the top ball for Kuridrani's try, goes in untouched.
Could have and should have done that all afternoon.
Expect Kurtley to have a couple of matches in the stands.
First Uruguay try gets called back because he was a ball hair offside.
Pocock does the same in second half and it's all good.
Maddening.

Classic. Itv doing a Cheika highlights package.
Is it available on line?
Jeez he's an embarrassment to his team,his country and his sport.
Kahui and Ellis are right. He's bad for his team.
IMO he creates an excuse for poor performance because they are picked on.
