    What was the Tongan 13 doing? He not only allowed himself to be sat down but he also broadcast to the world that he was never going to be moving.

    I'd be tempted to bin Woodcock there. He knew exactly what he was doing. It was in the red zone. At least Tonga kicked the pen.

    I was just thinking the same, you'd expect them to be well clear of Tonga at this stage.

    It's 7-3 now after 25 minutes.

    Still early enough in the game. But NZ just look average. I know they will raise their game come the knockouts but right now they look beatable for the likes of Ireland or France.

    The Tongan center with the scrum cap is one of the worst tacklers I've seen in a while.

    I would be proud of that tackle. We have talked ourselves into a quandry. Every physically dominant transaction in evil now. That was a smashing tackle by smith. Penalty my arse

    Kieran Reed in the bin for collapsing a maul on the try line.

    That was some maul from Tonga!

    It was correct call. It was a penalty but nothing more.

    Read in the bin. Would be great to see a Tongan score here...

    You can be physically dominant without lifting the legs. Very simple. Lift the legs above the horizontal and you'll be penalised.

    As in not to give a penalty try? If it was the reverse he would have.

    Absolutely should be a penalty try. They were charging for the line.

    My point is that you shouldn't be. The law is ridiculous. It wasn't an Alex McKinnon job

    In training now our coaches are telling us not to lift their leg when going in for a tackle now just in case.

    Hope tonga score this try

    I thought Read had a grip of the ball carrier. Given that you couldn't say it would certainly be a try.

    Rubbish. They had just driven maul 20+m would have been a try if not pulled down. And should be a penalty try again now

    This whole "three scrums before a penalty" try is a load of gick. First or second scrum if it's blatant - just ****ing make the call.

    Well by now it certainly should be a penalty try.

    Pitch is terrible now.
