Winters coming;all inclusive rugby thread.

Is Ashton just a complete ****? So in the middle of that melee, he just comes in a tries a cheap shot at Etzebeth. Cowardly bloody shot that no one commented in as they were all focused on the big Bok.

So many silly errors. Does anyone remember TCUP?

Aynd now let’s just kick the game away. What bllx.

Etzebeth didn’t start that, penalty should have been awarded to the Boks.

C’mon Tonga!

Kicking a penalty goal with 1min 15 left and 4 points down?
It’s not last week, but he seems to think it is.

Ha ha ha ha is Robshaw a moron????? What was he thinking you have to go for it.

Sad over-reaction to last week. Boks were not great and could/should have been taken today. Oh well, sit back and watch the best in the world next!!!!

*cries*

Dry your eyes mate we are about to get humped cross eyed 🙁

could be worse…

Complete. Utter. Madness.

So last week they lost because they didn’t take their kicks at goal. This week they lost because they did (OK they’d probably still have lost if they’d kicked for the corner, but at least they’d have had a chance).

Clearly Robshaw has completely misinterpreted the commentary on last week, and taken it to mean that all penalties should be taken as kicks at goal, rather than that the correct decision should be taken on all penalties.

Greenwood on sky suggesting 2.5 minutes left on the clock, and no way they would drive a sa pack over. Swear Woodward was trying not to laugh.

I think this could be closer than some think.

good game coming up

That’s a very poor start from the All Blacks. I’m shocked.

What a punch – ouch!

Vile.

The dark side of All Black rugby already 😳

That’s disgusting , red card for the arsehole AB hooker surely.

Loving it.

The inevitable citing and ban will be a small recompense. Should be playing against 14.

Does anyone think Wales have a chance? I hope so, but I don’t really believe…

Big tackle!!

Markie, even against 14 it’s only the tiniest of hopes, not chances! 🙁

JD is correct this time. Fourth official should intervene in the cases of gratuitous foul play. Time for rule change.

Does anyone think Wales have a chance?

Always.

Not sure, THM. If that were to be brought in, then I’d say only be for cases of violent and/or dangerous foul play. Not for stuff like offside etc. Certainly rather galling that the player remains on, and the game continues 15v15, but it wasn’t seen by the officials on the pitch, so can’t be penalised on the pitch.

Yes if any home nation does I think Wales do. They have the size in the back line and a good open side. Trouble is they haven’t been playing well in those key areas but if they return to form then maybe….

Exactly CFH, just for violent and dangerous play. I don’t mind refs being blind to law infringements and can live with that…..normally sorts itself out over time. But cheap violence has no part. Hooker should be off, simple.

Another VERY poor call there. Warbs was on his feet, not the tackler.

No chance for Wales sadly. Not when all conspires against us!

Yes anything violent needs eradicating.

Black shirts are harder to see apparently!

No chance for Wales sadly. Not when all conspires against us!

Sometimes I doubt your Welshness, CaptainF. I see no heads hanging.

ANOTHER forward pass ignored

FFS

Odds on Mike Phillips being in major scrap before the end?!?

And now why they are the best.

Liam Williams is putting in one hell of a performance! Some great tackles!

Wonderful break!

That’s going to make a come back a tad more difficult.

What annoys me is that I love the way they play rugby! I really do not love their nasty, dark side. Which is all to often shown. That takes away from the brilliance of their play, IMO

100% with you there CFH.

Frustrating errors like England and then punished mercilessly.

The tackle on BOD was another example. Nasty, vile and planned tactics.
