The Rugby Thread

[Donegal Wolf]

TMO tried his best to stop the yellow but he is the man for the "big decision" even when no need

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Great finishing by Aussies ruthless

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Good decision by the ref. Player came from a distance for the chop tackle

Shame he didn't card the Aussie for a blatant ten metre violation earlier. Barnes is a shite ref.

 

[Nando]

Superb pass by Giteau.

It's closer than it should be given the Aussies superiority.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh - so so close

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And no way was that a knock on. Clearly went backward

 

[Dinowolf]

HT Arg 9-19 Aust

Australia should be further ahead on play, but they're not.
If Argentina score early in the second half they'll be right back in it.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Pumas could do with the game turning into a scrum fest

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Very impressive Australian defence

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Weird reffing from Barnes there - very surprised that was a Puma penalty. Isa clearly holding on.

 

[slink]

Wouldn't call it weird Paddy, would call it awful. He's getting worse.

 

[Dinowolf]

Poor decision

 

[Dinowolf]

Crap play from Foley, drop goal attempt from near the halfway line.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Aussies getting ragged its in the balance now

 

[Dinowolf]

What a run from Mitchell. Its the Aussies game now

Obviously when passing sometimes the ball goes forwards with the momentum so when does it become a forward pass? How far does the ball actually have to go forward? I only ask because i just slowed down the Aussie try before the blue line replay and could see it lands at least 2 yards in front of Ashley-Cooper.

It should have been checked by ref and TMO

I think it's more of a direction thing, so if you're travelling forwards but your arms go backwards then it's not a forward pass. Somebody posted a video a while ago to prove this.
