Strange, I'm sure there was something about union players hitting the shin with the shoulder??

JKD Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 RSA Vs SCO,,,, who'd have predicted that at half time ?! Two different styles of rugby but both very physical,,,, except Scotland are trying to be technical.

He's got a hearing about his on Tuesday, so England should have their ducks in order by then with their case on Curry's behalf. I missed it, but apparently the second yellow for Chile today was very similar and that stayed yellow. The WRU have properly dug themselves a hole with these decisions.

Mice! Posted September 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 I thought Fiji were robbed, Wales should have had two or three players in the bin with constant infringements on the line, Wales new well what they were doing,Β I was expecting a penalty try. But Wales came out brilliantly in the second half showing their experience,Β Fiji just needed a little more patience at the end and that try may have come.

How he got away with that, I have no idea! Where the Fijian knocked on at the posts? It looked like he'd grounded it to me, then like you say the Welsh player hit with the shoulder, no arms, but the ref didn't seem to want to look at it.
