The problem is that people might just do that..."I wouldn't say it [the style] is boring. If you don't like scrums and line-outs, go and watch rugby league," he added.

Good info, thanks BB, I'll watch the Exeter game in the morning. Just had a very brief look at the website, are all the games replayed in full?
Well, as not to disappoint, I think he interpreted the scrummage incorrectly at times which understandably, England took full advantage of (winning several penalties). He missed a blatant penalty when Biggar was taken in the air leading up to England's first half try. This was identified by the Assistant Referee whom Poite chose to ignore (even refusing to review the footage). Also seems that Genge will be cited for foul play - although this was missed by all initially.dtaai-maai wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 1:22 amI did wonder at one point whether pharvey was going to complain about Wayne Poite refereeing the game, but I think he was fairly even-handed.![]()

I didn't see the game, but... oh dear...![]()
I'd never accuse you of that, you're far too realistic. Pivac, however...
Just watched this game... oh boy! Exeter are a side you definitely want to be playing for rather than facing.pharvey wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 5:12 pmMade for very painful viewing - Far from the best of days of rugby (result-wise) for me...dtaai-maai wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 3:26 am Premiership: Exeter Chiefs 40-3 Bath - Spectacular Tom O'Flaherty try helps Chiefs to victory![]()
Exeter look frighteningly good again. Great skills by O'Flaherty for his try....

Bath were missing key players, but so were Exeter - goes to show the relative squad strength. Bath have a lot to work on after back to back losses. Exeter look good for another double....
I've tried to find a clip online, but haven't managed to find one yet - I'm sure there'll be a few options available shortly though. In my mind and that of many others it was a clear penalty - both feet off the floor. There was obviously no malicious intent and I'm sure he (and others) would have felt hard done by if the penalty had been given. Rules are rules however and ultimately this was a period of play that resulted in a try. It made zero difference to the result at the end of the day, so I believe the majority of Welsh fans will not be too upset other than being frustrated at inconsistent refereeing.lindosfan1 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 5:13 pm pharvey I am not a expert on rugby, when I watched the Biggar tackle, he came running in leapt to catch the ball and got caught by the English player.The English player seemed to be stationary so Biggar collided with him, why is that an offence, also Biggar looked to have one foot on the ground. Just curious to why it should have been a penalty.
I've no desire to watch it again, that's for sure!dtaai-maai wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 5:56 pmI'd never accuse you of that, you're far too realistic. Pivac, however...

The O'Flaherty try (is he Irish by any chance?) was amazing, but to be fair it was probably a one-off.
Yes, will certainly hit Argentina hard, and Australia will also be out to prove a point. You also have to factor in that Australia have had a break, where this will be Argentina's fourth game in as many weeks. Sadly, I can see this being a convincing win for Australia.
The way things are in this day and age, there wasn't really going to be any other outcome - and I'm probably racist for saying that......
