Yep it bounced back then went forward, hence "NRL every day of the week knock-on"

Read the rules you dumbass. That's not a knock-on.

I think an Australia-New Zealand final should be a great game, but the wrestling threatens to ruin it.

I can only hope the refereeing doesn't carry on like this. It's been like a crude parody of the "favour the underdog/team that's behind" style that's prominent in the NRL. A string of penalties for nothing is one thing, but the video-ref disallowing clear tries is a whole new aspect.

If it carries on we will have a very hard time beating England but if we get through we might end up dealing to Australia with a 10-0 penalty count in our favour :cool:

Part time players from Workington Town, Sheffield, Featherstone and Halifax were way better than Wallace, he was embarrassing.

You clearly didn't watch the Australia v Ireland and England v Fiji games.

In more important news, Manu is in absolutely barnstorming form. If only FFSShauJO would've gotten out of his way he would've scored the individual try of the century :cool::cool::cool:

Do you watch NRL?

Just because you are slow: I know the rules, and know it wasn't a knock-on, but Cummins is refereeing NRL style all game, and in the NRL 99 times out of 100 he, and the other refs, would rule that a knock on. I'm mocking him for being reffing this game NRL style specifically when it helps him punish the kiwis (or favor the minnow, take your pick).

Was a good game to watch...thought Scotland did expectantly well and if Peter Wallace was not playing i think it would have been alot closer.

Geez, good thing Johnson took out one of the Scotland defenders then.

Try checking the replay. Correct call. Johnson took out the man to the right of Vatuvei and Vatuvei continued running, behind his own man, into the space created.

Haha, the big dummy runs behind his support player and just keeps on going, the dude seriously has the intelligence of your average goldfish, and about as much skill...he's little more than a prop who doesn't have to make any tackles. We need another winger with real skill and speed, not a big dumb bookend.

I can't read beefstew's post but he's here right on cue and I'm sure he's full of the usual mix of fanciful nonsense and ruthless androtropry
