It’s match day!

Been great to discuss the games as they happen throughout the tournament. How are we feeling about this final?

Bloody better be! Almost carbon copy, no mitigation at all

[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oooh, not happy about that

[–] terraborra@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah take back my comment about fair calls. That’s bull. He was still in the air.

Game decided at 2 minutes.

[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago

Certainly setting the theme early on!

That's when I stopped watching & went to the shed, lol.

TMO in charge of the game. Barnes is just a back up enforcement of decisions.

Oh, THIS is why the supermarket was so empty this morning, lol.

Just a reminder why I stopped really watching rugby. The ref has far too much impact on who wins the game, it's so inconsistent.

Back to cricket for me. Anyone say up to watch the triller against AU last night?

Red was fair enough. Poor discipline from our boys - they should know better with Barnes at the helm

[–] terraborra@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly I think all the calls have been fair from the refs. We just need to stop making stupid mistakes.

[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

Absolutely. Those lineouts have been embarrassing!

[–] terraborra@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

Pace is incredible, but the discipline is crap. Sooo many penalties.

Fantastic effort in the second half, but yeah, bugger
