Steve Borthwick becoming the Tony Pulis of World rugby

Can take the bloke out of Leicester RU…

 

[Tredman]

Wales scoring totally against the run of play.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Wales scoring
Referee first man to go off injured & Wales appear to have got their shirts from Derek Trotter as numbers falling off them.

 

[jd1981]

Argentina have been crap since the 10th minute

 

[jd1981]

This is a really poor game for a WC QF

 

[Donegal Wolf]

If Wales can sort out their line out they should win this comfortably.

 

[Tredman]

How on earth is that not at least a yellow?

 

[jd1981]

Even Dan Biggar looked at him as if to say what fuck are you doing

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Monster kick and Argentina lead

 

[Tredman]

That is epic

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rank Argentina defence.

Can't see them scoring a try as they're going so Wales should keep them at bay from here.

 

[Tredman]

Fucked if I know the rules around head contact now.

Me either. Just clears him out, 1992 style.

I don't see "mitigation" there and you compare it to the England red card vs Argentina, well.

 

[Tredman]

Wales should be a man down for persistent penalties too. Nonsense defending just giving pens away all the time.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They've stopped playing. Terrible tactics.

 

[jd1981]

That’s fair enough it’s not great defending continuously giving away penalties as a last ditch.

 

[jd1981]

With the possible red im glad they’ve used a bit of common sense nevertheless its an inconsistent call compared to other reds we’ve seen

Do I think it's a card, probably not (from my 80s/90s upbringing) though it's on the borderline of a yellow. It's just some of the other ridiculously soft ones make it seem an insane call.

Wales can't blame that though, they've been awful since Williams scored. Needless too as Argentina weren't doing anything.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That's a superb tackle
