4-1 set restarts to Tonga from the live NRL.com stats.

Wales could have had more given some of the ones Tonga have got .

I haven’t watched all this but the ref is giving Wales nothing. She gave Tonga repeat sets but when they held Wales down they got nothing.

I agree. As I say, I think it is the one area where the ref has been very inconsistent between the two sides.

And another called for Tonga leading to a try.

Hurrell  all over the Welsh player, nothing given! 

Very inconsistent in the 6 again dept . Really frustrating . Three times in a recent set Luke flopped and nothing given

Another 6 again for Tonga. This is ridiculous.

Oh off

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Nah, that was a 6 again..he pulled the leg up.

However, i hate it because the ref doesn't have to say why they gave another set.

 

Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players.

Ultimately we're all related, aren't we?

What about Hurrell sitting on Kear, and then jumping on him again?

Let it go Woodsy. Amor doesn't want to talk about school teaching.

Would love to know the 6-agains stat.

It's not the stats I want to know...it's the reasons..

To be fair, she had called a surrender tackle on that one.  You are not going to get a six again on a surrender tackle as it licence for the defender to slow the play the ball down.

You will see that i agree with all the comments..including those.

I'm just saying that was a correct call

She'd already called surrender tackle at that point - the welsh player had dived to the ground to avoid being taken into touch.

Putting aside the refs back and forth - most competitive group of the cup by far. Not a huge difference between any of the teams like we've seen in the other groups. Love to see it.

I reckon if this Wales squad were all full time they'd have won this.

They could have won with a better coach and better tactics close to the line.

Tonga got a fair few calls against PNG. Some of these were key, like the forward pass being ignored that led to a try, and resulted in them winning. Everything has also gone their way today. Now I think they'd have still won today regardless but they've had an awful go their way so far in this World Cup.
