If Josh Adams gets pinged for this I'll be livid. The Argie just fvcking dives. All he does is stand up and nudge him with his chest. 

 

Argie goes down like a fvcking footballer. Not having that.

Slightly more than a nudge and I think Biggar even looks at him & gestures wtf are you doing

At the risk of being that rugby fan, it's not fvcking football. The guy goes down like he's been shot. The player and the crowds reaction buys the penalty.

Looks worse in slow mo but I'm glad the ref just gives a pen and moves on. Rugby is supposed to be like that lol

Yeah thought the ref was fair with the penalty only. Yellow would have been very harsh.

In rugby in general, I dont like the whole thing of the crowd shouting at the point of a slow mo incident to get someone carded or a try disallowed. One might say its a bit football :ph34r:

There's a lot more overlap with both Welsh and Argentine fans tbf between football and rugby fans. In Argentina and Wales it doesn't have the same class distinction that it does in England, Scotland and Ireland. 

 

Argentina's football and rugby fans are pretty much the same people and their football fans night be noisy but they're also often willy pullers lol

 

This whole world cup they've been booing and whistling every kicker, every ref, everything. I mean it's definitely atmosphere but it's not, umm, conventional in rugby haha.

It really was famous last words. I joked but actually the penalties have been completely one way traffic since the refs swapped lol

I can sympathise with the first, but you can't really argue with the others.

Probably the defining characteristics of this team since Gats has been back has been conversion rate in the opposition 22 and absolutely minimal errors. 

 

This has been such a poor game on these fronts so far. Awful time to be this sloppy.
