South Africa live offside. Be a bit less effective if a ref was brave enough to penalise them until they had to hold the proper offside line.
Dunno how anyone wears a scrum crap to play a sport in 30+C. Must be so grim.
Scotland attacking South Africa, sad
England win must have wound them up
England win must have wound them up
And they consistently play the ball off their feets in rucks.
Were there punches thrown? A replay would be nice.
It looked like the SA centre dropped his elbow in the Scot’s face
Yep, frustrating as hell. Not sure why it can’t be reffed properly
Thought I saw a bit more than the normal shirt grabbing but it is hard to keep track when there’s 20 blokes pushing each other about
Still no replay though.That's a pen. Russell shoulder charge. No hands.
Thanks but we also have moving images.
100%. Weird the commentators didn’t pick up on it. Penalty only is a good decision.
That’s fecking crazy because KLA is completely leading with the elbow
What is this commentator popping off for? It's a pen you bellend.
All the way in France? I don't believe youThanks but we also have moving images.
Graham messed that one really badly.
That’s a knock on
A little unfair on Fiji who are hitting form
Penalty count must be one of lowest in any match so far? Great discipline from both teams.
Ref has been good too. Always helps
Scotland is doing really well
Yeah he’s been excellent.
How is that unfair - I think they're going to win! And Wales are shit
Really frustrating knock-on there. Scotland need to do better.
Handling has been rock solid until then.
Wow, great scrum by Scotland
Great scrum!!
This is too tight for me. The loser here is going to have to beat Ireland to have any chance of qualifying.
Jaysus. What a scrum.
For a low scoring game this has been a decent watch. Very impressed with Scotland.
Key to Scottish victory for me. They have to fight so hard for territory and to hold the boks back, can’t afford to be giving them a free 40 meters too often
how is that not a red, too? fecking stupid sport.
Irish TV analysts looking for cards again.
Rob Kearney says red for Kriel and two yellows for Russell (deliberate knock-on and the shoulder charge)

Yup. It’s also amazing how few penalties the South Africans have given away considering how close they are to offside the whole time.
Side note. Irish pundits all in agreement that should have been an early red card for head to head contact by kriel .
the most annoying thing with rugby is they had the tmo stuff wrapped up a couple of years ago. there were a few consistent annoyances, straight feeds into scrums were never policed, stupid caterpillars for every box kick, stopping any kind of contes. the ref would ask the scrum half to use it, and he’d still take 10 seconds to do something, but you felt some kind of consistency.
it’s all gone to shit recently, the tmo ruins most games, picking and choosing what they want a closer look at, or ignoring things completely, and i find i’m more annoyed at the standard of officiating in rugby games than football now. that head on head has been seen by a panel of referees, ignored during a game, but no doubt will be cited afterwards, when it has no impact in the game it occurred in. world rugby needs a complete reset.

And it's the highest rhythm.
Much better by SA. Looking very dangerous now.
He is correct. If there is any consistency then the red is obvious and Russell committed two clear yellow card offenses.
Officiating has gone all football.
Never used to be like this in rugby.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fecking fix it.
