The rugby world cup begins tomorrow!

I don't get TMO the decisions made are so inconsistent

Happens all the time with various decision making. Judges, for example, make different decisions based on time of day, or whether they’re hungry or just eaten lunch.

Fiji are gonna throw the kitchen sink at Wales in this 2nd half I can't see them hanging on to be honest

It’s entirely possible that England’s recent red card influenced Curry being sent off.

If Curry is banned then Kriel must be cited for the collision today.

If he is banned surely they will use the video evidence of today's decisions to ask why.

Dan Biggar has been ticking since North conceded that penalty early on.

He is one seriously angry man!

 

[Norman_Conquest]

The ref should have warned the Welsh prior to that.

Wow bonus point victory for Wales amazing. Fiji have been so sloppy tonight though balls slipping in all the good positions

Should Wales have had a man in the sin bin prior to them scoring the last try?

 

[Boro4life]

You've got to feel for FIJi

 

[Boro4life]

Come on FIJi

Rugby novice here but it seems like Wales are being aloud to give away loads of penalties that have stopped a probable try. Why no mention of penalty try?

 

[Boro4life]

Wales played such a shithoussery game of rugby they time wasted so much give away so many penalties the best side lost that for me

 

[Expat Smoggie]

Wow Figi so unlucky not to win over the Welsh. I think if the late try had been awarded they’d have gone on to win. Very strong finish by the so called minnows— I’m glad they’re not in the English pool.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

A penalty try is at the discretion of the referee, and are relatively rare and are typically awarded in cases of deliberate and cynical foul play that prevents a clear try-scoring opportunity.

 

[davidmills]

Referee beat Fiji not Wales
Wales offside countless times, cynical play, should have been penalty try and another yellow so down to 13 men
Atrocious referee

 

[Nero]

Wales were quite fortunate there. I didn’t watch it all but from what I did Fiji were better. Wales won’t mind of course.

Another game where a head collision has gone unpunished too. Biggar and Kriel both not even spotted or questioned by the TMO.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Not sure how Gareth Thomas say we should give the Wales team credit for the defending when they gave penalty after penalty away.

 

[Boro4life]

I'm abit rattled for FIJi there like am annoyed for them

 

[Boro4life]

Fiji rarely kick for points is the issue if they did from the first half they woulda won on kicks if converted but in the end they had to push for tries so Wales just kept giving away penalties to waste time

Not having their regular kicker was definitely a problem for them.

Nice to hear Warren Gatland being more honest than the pundits in the studio and saying they need to look at the number of penalties away at crucial times.
