Argentina 10 Wales 20 in garbage time. Geronimo de la Fuente narrowly denied a consolation try there.
The coolest name in sport if not the world.

French full back red carded 12 minutes into the 2nd Steinlager test in Wellington competing for a high ball with Beaudan Barrett. Yellow card would have sufficed. New Zealand instantly turn a 0-3 deficit into a 7-3 lead. They could hit 100 points here with numerical advantage for another 65 minutes.
And france with centre on one wing makes life 100 times harder to cover the backfield. You might have some hope with two wings
Rugby is a game played by 15 when the ref always sides with the team in black .

It was a red card alright. Player was a bit unlucky though
French player was competing fairly for the ball in the air. It’s an idiotic rule. Barrett has a duty to protect himself if he’s launching himself into the air like that.
French player Remy Grosso sustained a double facial fracture last week after a vicious assault from two New Zealand players who weren’t even cited. He’s still lying in a New Zealand hospital not medically able to fly home. The two New Zealand assailants are playing here this morning (well one starting, one on the bench). Blind eye turned to it.
New Zealand are refereed to a different standard than everyone else:

He wasnt in the air was the problem. I agree that Barret jumped all over him but that’s the rules. If Fall had got off ground he would have been fine

Agree with this. Doesnt mean wasnt a red card though

The rules are quite clear.
Barrett blessed not to be seriously injured, that Geoff would be an authority on “ dicky “ tummies but not Rugby Football rules.

Go back to trying to figure out the handpass rule in hurling. Have a look at the Johnny Coen technique. He’s one of the finest exponents.
