Slick

Does he kick it......no again

by Heaf Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:17 am

Need to cut out the silly stuff - don't want any stupid cards

by lostinwales Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:20 am

Otherwise too many mistakes but we do look lethal when things come together. Usual story

by BamBam Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:23 am

Argentina defence looks very strong against the direct stuff

Lavanini in trouble here

by kingelderfield Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:23 am

Yellow falling in not red.

Farrell leans in.......why?

by tigertattie Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:24 am

Game over

by maestegmafia Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:24 am

Red card game over england in the quarters.

by lostinwales Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:24 am

'no foul play' ?

by Heaf Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:25 am

Ooops - good job the TMO was asked to look as Nige said it was OK in live play ...

by **RDW** Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:25 am

Definite red but a shame for the game - was a good contest so far.

by TightHEAD Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:25 am

Its a red, sort of mindless tackle we want out the game. Bye bye

by Duty281 Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:26 am

Goodnight Argies. Time to rack up the tries and put them out of the tournament. No idea how Nige missed it in real time.

by lostinwales Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:27 am

It just kills the game.

by TightHEAD Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:27 am

Does worry me that big men are going to struggle to put in big hits.

by Guest Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:27 am

Just tackle round the chest and below!

by Guest Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:27 am

Red cards are ruining rugby

by Heaf Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:28 am

aim to the right Owen ...

by Guest Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:28 am

Probably concussed

by eirebilly Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:29 am

A definite red but Argentina can feel slightly hard done by with the amount of other hits that have escaped punishment this tournament.

I cant see Argentina getting remotely close now.

Watson tackles in the air? Could we see another card?

by TightHEAD Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:29 am

Play acting is a disgrace

by majesticimperialman Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:29 am

Argentina started well nearly scored a try in the opening minutes, Johnny may covering saved us.

A red card for Argentina for a no arms tackle.

by TightHEAD Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:30 am

Typical that it would be these guys doing it

by Guest Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:30 am

Play acting by the Argie there surely?! But should be a penalty against manu.

Would we notice the difference?

by englishborn Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:30 am

Players not tackling within the rules are ruining rugby. I hated that decision but it was always a red and could have very easily been a legal tackle by going lower

by eirebilly Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:30 am

Odd how it is a timing issue for England but not for Argentina...

Consistency.

Not saying Tuilagi should have been carded but...

by kingelderfield Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:30 am

This could get really messy

Foul play is the issue, not the red card

by Heaf Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:31 am

Completely different challenges billy

by Heaf Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:32 am

Everyone needs to calm down a bit

by Guest Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:32 am

Where’s the yellow card for tackling in the air?

by Heaf Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:32 am

Not a YC offence ...

by TightHEAD Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:33 am

Young's is hopeless

He should have been. For the number of pens England have conceded and the times the ref has had to speak to both teams if nothing else

I get that but I feel if ye are going to penalise and punish one then the other should be as well. Taking a player out in the air could easily be a Red/Yellow card.

by Heaf Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:33 am

This is a complete mess at the moment

He didn't land on his back or neck though ...

by EnglishReign Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:35 am

You’re right Billy, it ‘could’ be. Each incident needs to be assessed individually, not just cards handed out without good reason.

He did seem to land on his ego though.

I can only say that because he was'nt in danger of getting hurt

by Heaf Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:36 am

Not 10 from the kick surely?

by kingelderfield Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:37 am

Concentration dropped off by both sides

by Heaf Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:38 am

and Nige ...

Come on billy, you can't compare a shoulder to the jaw and a tackle 6 inches off the ground where the player is put down gently

by **RiscaGame** Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:38 am

Wouldn't mind seeing the "World's Best Ref's" position for that red again. Shocking call to say the tackle was okay live.

You failed to mention that when it was Farrell doing the same thing previously...?

The hit on Farrell, definite red card. Even though Farrell was leaning back. It was a cynical late, high hit. Tuilagi, tackle in the air did not end badly but was equally cynical in my opinion (not really a 'timing issue' so could have been deemed a yellow card. That and given the amount of cynical offences England committed in the lead up could have seen a calmative yellow card.

This game is very messy and both teams are guilty.

Go on then, find a video of a Farrell tackle to someone's head

by kingelderfield Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:43 am

Our kick first stratergy is nonsense.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 05 Oct 2019, 9:43 am

Tbf Bam i found a little selection and there is a high hit in that when farrell is playing for saracens. I'm sure that is what Maes is referring to.
