@aj_d___@will_owen9@ITVRugby Some good points in fairness. My view is it was no danger rather than low danger, but technically it seems it may meet the definition to overturn a penalty.
I personally don’t like the TMOs getting too involved and think it’s been generally better this year.
@aj_d___@will_owen9@ITVRugby I can’t argue that it doesn’t meet that definition, but I don’t see the action being dangerous in this case as he could never have landed on a lower limb given the specific technique.
So in my mind, if it wasn’t dangerous, then it should not have seen the penalty overturned
@aj_d___@will_owen9@ITVRugby I think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this. My view of a croc roll is that it either involves pulling a player around the neck, or landing on a lower limb, both of which are dangerous. I do not believe this incident was a croc roll or dangerous given the body positions
@dscottmcrae1@glove931 Yeah, probably a stretch to say that he was binding into a maul as his primary movement is to clear Williamson and so probably agree it’s neither a maul or ruck, so he probably shouldn’t be there
@will_owen9@ITVRugby I think we all know it’s an incredibly hard game to ref and I agree criticism of decisions doesn’t add value - things even out.
Equally, TMO interventions are supposed to be for clear foul play.
This didn’t meet the criteria so was unwelcome in my view and it swung momentum
@DragonsLairPod Both? Appreciate that you are a Darfomd fan, but parochialism wont get us anywhere. Great that Wainwright and Carter played well today, but surely no harm in praising Daf for matching Ben’s stats?
@grok@Lea_EFC Think you need some fine tuning - Saka could never bring more than Giggs who won his last PL four years after this season. Wes Brown would be lucky to keep his place and maybe Rice for Carrick, but that’s a close call. In fact, Rice would have to make do playing right back
@grok@Lea_EFC Are you feeling ok @grok? I know he’s not currently popular due to his personal affairs, but you can’t seriously suggest you’d swap out Giggs with his 13 Premier League titles for Saka who has none. No doubt Saka is a good player, but Giggs is a PL legend
@FarmerJay10@BryanHabana@Springboks You are way off line to seek to conflate Eben’s action with your perception that World Rugby is anti-Bols (which incidentally I’m not convinced by).
This was a single act that should be judged on its own merits and I can’t see much evidence to support Eben. Long ban incoming…
@davidjusteat The FAW are doing a great job - it starts with culture at the board, then manager, players and environment. Meanwhile at half time of the Wales v Japan game we are listening to a DJ playing songs with no significance to Wales. The WRU are a shambles in almost every way possible
