Rugby Union Nations Championship

Blimey I thought you’d know the rules !
The tip of the ball (which would be the first point of contact with the ground) is very much inside the touchline. About 2-3 inches.

You can do what you want with the post these these (and the flag). Besides the ball never touched the post or flag. The ball clearly first gets grounded inside the touchline.

Why did TMO disallow it then ?

Thought you were adamant on Saturday that the TMO was right to overrule the ref?

It's just possible that the angle on your recent post was not shown to the ref on Saturday. The angle he was given was pretty conclusive that it wasn't a try!

I was. But now I have slowed it down and used that angle rather than the useless reverse angle that the TMO looked at 340 times I have changed my mind.

There were none called Toshiba. What have I missed?

Japan: Ueda; Ishida, Riley, Tua, Burua; Kitahara, Saito (co-capt); Kamimori, Harada, Takeuchi, Hockings, Dearns (co-capt), Gunter, Shimokawa, Cornelsen.

Replacements: Sato, Otsuka, Helu, Stolberg, Costley, Fukuda, Komura, Lee.

Every single one had Toshiba on the back of their shirt. Sponsors.

Though Wales were very average. Poor lineout and far too much kicking out of hand.

Not sure I am really into this nations championship yet like the concept but not quite creating the soecticals

Catching up with today’s sport and had the misfortune to read the BBC article on England’s 45-22 win over Australia.

Embarrassing to write a paragraph like this in Primary School let alone as a journalist.
“They did so in the obvious ways. There was gainline physicality, breakdown bravery and crunching physicality.”
Shame no Aussie really cares. They have the International State of Origin Rugby League final to look forward to next weekend.

Why is it embarrassing?

I might be wrong but there is a lot of arrogance and hype about this lad without sufficient evidence to back it up in my opinion
Show me another number 7 who can score 2 tries in the wing against Australia. The guy is a freak of nature and will be world class very soon IMHO

Let’s see if he does that against NZ, SA, IRE or FRA

Good game going on in Paris at the moment, FRA v SA.
I think I know why Yarmo’s favourite Frenchman chose football, Jacquet wouldn’t have lasted two minutes in this game😂.
Oh, 14-0 France.
 

Rugby Union Nations Championship

French player goes with two hands for that "deliberate knock-on" but only gets one hand to it. Yellow card. Nonsense.

I used to play rugby to a pretty decent level (it was a long time ago). I can never understand kicking the ball away to the opposition.

I'm a big fan of Brian Moore's commentary in the England vs Italy game!
 

Rugby Union Nations Championship

I am laughing at the comments from the Irish team management they they want to be the fittest team in world rugby… I would suggest they have a big gap to bridge to reach the levels of France and South Africa and they will get nowhere near in terms of speed
 

Rugby Union Nations Championship

France kicks the ball away again.
Maybe they have run out of gas and kicking is all they have….. might have to say sorry to Andy🤔
 

Rugby Union Nations Championship

Great game of rugby very exciting and fast paced game more like that and might capture the viewing public again…. Thank you @nocoat and @GlasgowBee for saving my evening viewing experience

If NZ win by fewer than 1000 points it will be a moral victory for Wales. Wales are truly sh*t.
