Nope. Correct decision according to the laws and guidence.
Can you show your working out on that
I just couldn't see that much of a drop in Tompkins height - looked wreckless to me.
In hindsight, it went a bit tits up after I commented. It felt pretty even until then, and a very close score.
Wales started well then lost it a bit, our bench was shit and that told when a lot of key players got injured.
YES 😎

Oops - you have caught my prediction bug 🙂
Best team on the night won.

Completely accidental and unavoidable contact and the tackler did nothing wrong. Dickson explained it well.
But they won't be alone on the flight home. Ingurlund will be heading back to Blighty after tomorrow evening too.

Can you explain how it was unavoidable? Cannot see that. He didn't need to hit him in the head. It's mystifying.
Phew, my bet is still live!

England should win but.....
I suggest you watch the video again with your other eye open? Perhaps read the laws and protocols? I called it as accidental contact when first made.
As the Argentinian was only a very short distance away tompkins dropped significantly. There was nothing the tackler could do to avoid it. Not all head contact is foul play.
Wales did fall apart a bit. Got to feel for Costello but the move was telegraphed smart Argentine defence.

Accidental doesn't make any difference, I suggest you read the protocols

He could have avoided it by not entering the ruck. Simples
Guess we’ll just have to bow to the superior knowledge of the on field referee, the touch judges and the tmo then………
joe - you beat me to it.
Gutted for Wales but they just couldn’t get it going today. Those missed line outs really cost them after the first try. They really swung the momentum of the game.
And we are off! Good luck all.
Especially Ireland. Hard to believe this is only a 1/4 final!

I think it's something to do with the draw 😜
Nice to watch a stress free game - may the best team win.
Gorgeous try!!! 😍😍
The AB's are rolling around all over the place in the rucks, got to be deliberate and pretending to be falling over just to disrupt. As always, on the edge of cheating.

WBs beginning to reel them in now. I wonder how many cards we'll see.
Crackin' match so far
It’s given me a migraine.
Ireland starting to go for the miracle passes. Not good.
Game on!
Every ruck you can hear AB voices reffing the game. I’m surprised it’s been allowed*
*no I’m not; it’s the ABs!
Yeah. And how is Barrett not pulled up for the neck roll?
So much for a northern hemisphere clean sweep for the semifinals
Shit on it.
(From an Englander who wanted an Irish wi’ of the whole thing)
****!!! Oh no, but the desire and skills on show, massive shout for Ireland, Northern Hemisphere hero's for sure.
So much for a northern hemisphere clean sweep for the semifinals
Yep. A southern hemisphere clean sweep now looking likely, although it would be funny if England were the only NH team to get through 🙂
Can we talk about Ireland and Wales please? The other team doesn't really deserve to be discussed in here tonight.
Great game over all
Wow, I thought the two yellow cards would be the downfall of NZ.
Wonder what Rieko Ioane said to piss Johnny Sexton off at the end there!
I don't think it'd have taken much to piss Johnny off tbf.
Really felt for Bundi Aki at the end there. Poor guy was broken.

Don't think you need to say much!
