Quite some niggle between Phillips and Cooper after Phillips deliberately stamped on Cooper’s hand. Right in front of the ref too. I say ref, I mean Barnes, trying his best to ruin the game.
Fun so far though!
I have never seen Cooper play so well!
Just checking in to see ow excited my old mate jambas is getting over Quade and how stressed AA is getting. Great fun to watch. Cmon Wales need a quick reply now.
Why can you mash us and fall over in front of the Aussies?
George North was clean through, ref should have let him touch down then had a look at the video. Instead, he blew just before he touched down, dragged it back to penalise Australia, got the yellow card wrong etc etc etc.
Great game, Wales did well. Totally agree Barnes should have let the try happen then gone back to check. Some dodgy decisions at the breakdown but overall Aus deserved it.
The card was definitely an offence. No problem with what he did. For me he was also tackled without the ball. He was touching it but he didn’t actually have it.
It was marginal. It took a replay FFS, these things happen numerous times every game.
Biggar killing the ball was much worse, but I wouldn’t have carded him either. We all wanted to see an equal competition.
