alistair The rules are the same for everyone, yet England seem to struggle more than others. 4 red cards in Internationals since March is dire.

    SM001 No way he deserved red. The game bas gone soft. He’s watching the ball at all times

      alistair The game bas gone soft.

      Horse shit. The game is harder (more complex) and harder (more physical) than it’s ever been.

      You are not, however, allowed to made head on head contact in almost any circumstances - for pretty fucking obvious reasons. Curry knows it’s his responsibility to avoid a challenge that could result in head contact, but didn’t. I don’t love the decision - I think it was borderline, but can see why the red was given….

      vinnyt77 the rules may be the same for everyone but its spoiling many people’s enjoyment of the game looking at the viewing figures. The microanalysis and interference is off the chain. No flow or fun

        alistair Which viewing figures? The 2019 RWC was the most watched in history, and the ’23 Six Nations had some of the highest viewing figures ever… Club rugby - yeah, dire.

        More concussions, brain damage and broken bones for ali please!

          SM001 More concussions, brain damage and broken bones for ali please

          Not sure he can take any more.

          Imagine the carnage in the ‘What Are You Listening To’ thread 😩

          US Open Women tennis final for me rather than this borefest.

            Went into tonight thinking England would lose a tight game by 5-8 points. They’ve been brilliant since Curry went off. Obvs not enough head trauma for some fans, but their discipline, structure and intensity have been outstanding.

            Don’t think their performance will worry any of the top 4, but I at least think we’ll make it into the quarter-finals now…

              mono-stereo terrible, really bad basic’s, fair play England looked like they had the extra man.

              Wales got away with all sorts against Fiji, should have had a couple of cards in the last twenty. Was off the couch cheering on the Fijians.

                Amps Really felt for the Fijian dude who dropped the ball at the end. Great effort from Fiji. Wales ultra lucky to get the win.

                • Amps replied to this.

                  vinnyt77 Agreed.

                  Small nations don’t get the decisions. Imagine Fiji being offside six times in 15 minutes and keeping all their player on the pitch? Laughable!
