The Rugby Thread

[Doc_Piptorious]

And yet they haven’t won a EC for years and Munster win the URC this year

Won't hear me complaining about Munster winning


The amount of quality within the Leinster squad is staggering though. Guess it does show the difference a good/great coach and coaching team makes to a great pool of players.

****ing disgusting officiating. No way the Welsh player can legit get away with that. On the take like PL refs

[Buzzo]

Yeah looked a yellow, was a cheap shot.

Argentina were gathering momentum towards the end of the half. They must be one of the most frustrating teams of all time to support.

[ChesterDave]

Yellow would be generous imo. Should have been a red

[Buzzo]

It’s been low quality stuff so far from both sides as expected. Argentina need to stop forcing the game and focus on playing their Rugby.

Nice try

[RichC]

Don’t think this ref will be on Gatlands Xmas card list

[Buzzo]

Wales out. Argentina after the first 25 or so easily the better team.

The English ref

I think he got it right. It’s a real minefield but Tompkins was falling and the Argentinian was already making the tackle.

[Zapater]

Wow, Argentina first to book their place. Great result.

Not sure.

Feels like they’ve altered how they’re officiating games as we’ve gone along tbh.

Wales made too many errors in what was a pretty poor match.

[Buzzo]

It was a poor match. Lots of errors both sides.

Pretty much all the outcomes weee on the table on that potential yellow.

No action was probably the one I was least expecting. But it seemed that Tompkins falling was the main reason for the collision.

[Irishnev]

Nerves are up - they will come at us like demons from the off and they’ve their full strength side. We need to match them and stay on the side of the ref

I still can’t call it

Tbh it was power that beat them - La Rochelle have a collection of the biggest players in the world. Skelton, Antonio, Botia and Aldritt in the pack, Danty in the centre as well….. big men
