if scotland win today i will buy a scottish rugby top and walk down Princes St with a giant sign saying "I was wrong, I believe in Scotland"

Or whatever if someone can think of a better sign

Hey look it's me, making a call everyone but the referee selection panel could see. Would think Argentina would've won that anyway, but christ that was an awful display, he even managed to disrupt both team's backlines on multiple occasions.

[edit] Btw, that might be the worst scrum reffing the world cup has ever seen.

If argentina had to play the last 20 minutes with 14 men...no they would have lost

You know what a Scotland is right.

Penalty alone for that idiotic clear out was actually probably the right call. I've seen much worse not even receive the penalty.

Ireland had a brief period where if they'd just played for territory instead of points they'd have had a real chance because Argentina could not stop infringing/making mistakes, but in the end they just couldn't create anything - both of Ireland's scores came from opportunistic and predatory play by one player. The backline was too flat, the drift defense missed too often and the ball in/throw hands play was slow. None of that is down to Garces.

Diving in head first with no attempt to use his arms is just a penalty :psypop:

I kind of agree with that. If it was a first yellow for the player, it probably would have been given. But, given the lack of cards for charging into rucks in the tournament and the fact he bound onto his player (albeit late), it wouldn't be a certainty. Given that the player was already on a yellow, there was no chance Garces was giving a second for it.

so it was a bad call then....

It has to be Nigel and Garces for the Semi-Finals, right?

Nigel and whoever hosed up the least out of the other 3. Garces wasnt particularly great...but out of them...yeah probably

CyberPingu: Sep 15, 2013; If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

So refs have been appointed for the semis

Garces is in charge for SA v NZ
Barnes is in for Aus v Arg

Is this to keep Nigel fresh for the final or do they just not care anymoew

Is he Linesman for either game? If he's not involved in either of them at all, then he's certainly reffing the final.

No, hes not involved in either semi

I've lived in Scotland for 15 years now.
Since my mother was English i have never supported Scotland when they played England.

Saturday that changes:

I CANNOT loving endorse a team that allows Dylan Hartley to play for them, he is literally everything that I despise about people in general and want to see him getting loving hammered by the Scottish pack.

CyberPingu: Sep 15, 2013; If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

Scotland lost because they thought it was clever to throw a long line out in strong winds and rain.

That basically sums up the scottish mindset...just pissing in the wind

ITV sure have pulled out the big guns, to make sure their Six Nations commentary team are experienced and impartial! :

Shane Williams
Goradan D'Arcy
Nick Mullins

Mullins is the guy who knows nothing about rugby, and got pulled from World Cup games, after he unironically told viewers that the island of Fiji only had one television, and no electricity.

So hes the Jerry Lawler of Rugby
