@FabrizioRomano So the man who didn’t want to move out of London and turned down other potential moves whilst a Chelsea player moves abroad as soon as he is a free agent!
@riversorare@jaredwright17 It is definitely forward, for it to have gone back it would have travelled in the direction of the dead ball line. Just because he is running back towards his own try line does not mean that the directions are reversed.
@kay_mothudi@rugby_ap Except it’s hard to scrum when the opposition prop has gone missing, straight and square is supposed to be the referee mantra, not so for any of the last few scrums that went SA way
@cardwell_samuel@benjaminryan Fiji had the opportunities but didn’t take the points, even had an opportunity with the last play but knocked it on. I don’t believe Carley was biased or had as bad a game as some seem to think but poor game management and individual errors is what ultimately cost Fiji.
@MarcC883103 @benjaminryan Knee grounded short of the line so tackle complete, at that point he can place the ball but not use knee and feet to propel forward, hence double movement. Correct decision so back to penalty advantage. Accurate refereeing
@KellyOrner Completely different circumstances 2 penalties a warning and the next one was sent to the bin. Fiji drag down a rolling maul 5m from the line, could easily have been a penalty try as well as yellow but just a yellow.
@Zak96_inverted_@CianTracey1 The ref can still award a straight red which means no replacement, the upgraded yellow results in a replacement after 20 mins
@tlyons3@willcarling He is trying to avoid the collision and has attempted to minimise his profile. Even following the protocol there is plenty of mitigation and the most this should have been is yellow. Ryan on Ludlum now that was a red and not even called!
@edujones14@nessandandy 2/2 Even following the protocol this should have been reduced to a yellow.
James Ryan on Ludlow, now there is a red. Driving into a maul, clear shoulder on head with force.
Hansen on Watson, at least a penalty, possibly yellow but certainly not try to Ireland
@edujones14@nessandandy Suggest you do the same! There are several mitigating factors.
1. Keenan’s height
2. The force was from Keenan not FS
3. FS turns sideways in an attempt to avoid collision, Keenan does nothing to avoid the collision
4. The collision is with the elbow not the shoulder as stated
@bullyinthealley Awful for both sides and agree England not clinical enough (until the last 10) but hard for either side to establish momentum with that type of refereeing
