Ooh. that doesn't look good.

@antipodean said in RWC: Australia v Georgia (Pool D):

YC coming up?

Yeah.

Yellow for sure

Boosh. right in the beak.

You would think that players would have got the message by now. Going in at that angle was only going to have one result.

Get ready for Cheik to blow up

Could easily have been red based on precedent.

Good explanation. That's the call based on the framework.

But of course, how often does that happen?

Aussies doing their part to grow the game

Attempt to wrap would always save him I think

This far into the RWC, that's entirely uncontroversial.

He won't get this

Aussie ruck work not physical enough

I'm not saying he didn't make the correct call.

But with what's gone on before and a French ref in charge fuck knows what could have been given.

Well that's my one reverse curse used up

This particular French ref has been ok from the coupler of games I've seen him

That 13 is having a storming game.

Or accurate enough. Too many Heroes waiting to run the ball.

Nothing new

The bad parts of the Wales game was exactly the same. This group never learn lessons

Is To'omua seen as the starting 10 for Aus now? Or is shithead Foley still the favourite?

Agreed, been the best of them I think

mmm.... Aussie strip it out of Georgian hands and then another Aussie picks it up in front of him. Offside?

No one knows! Cheika's personal lottery!

Well played Georgia - impressive from them.

HT 10-3

@ACT-Crusader should be "accidental offside"

@Yeetyaah said in RWC: Australia v Georgia (Pool D):

@ACT-Crusader "Accidental offside"

So scrum to Georgia?

Australia already thinking about England methinks.

Refs are generally bad when it comes to strip versus knock on.

Right - must go and do some work I suppose.

I'm sure Australia will do the necessary in the second half.

I thought that about Fiji, too

@NTA Nick, what's happening in the scrums? Looks to me like Aus are dominant, but I'm keen to know (a) if this through genuine strength of scrummaging or skull-duggery and (b) if you think the Wobblies have emphasised the scrum, because that's where they want to take on the Poms next week.

I've just figured out something you can do together after the game:

Ok I guess I'm going to be the one to ask why the fuck you know about that?

Oh... Well, I'll just let you look up Slovakian Traffic Cone in your own time...

Yes, we have more power because our second row are a capable pair.

Thus, we aren't fucking around with tricks - just trying to negate their attempts at de-powering our scrum.

We are running what I think would be our first choice scrum, tho Alalaatoa could replace Kepu and offer a bit more around the park. But against the Poms maybe an old hard head would be useful for 40 minutes.
