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

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

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
