Jaysis that’s really harsh . Really harsh . I’m on the match thread on planet rugby and no one thinks it’s a red .

By the law it's probably a red alright but needs to be given in the bigger games too. All well and good showing a red in that game but they haven't had the bottle in the bigger games so far.....

Players cant just lead with the shoulder without dropping their tackle height.

Agree.

But it doesn't make that not a red by the law, which Barnes went through very well in fairness.

Did you see reverse angle which wasn’t shown to Barnes ? Ball Carrier actually catches tackler high !

ITV all the way for me .

Huge start there. Cmon Wales!

FrancieBrady

Spoke a moment too soon

To be fair, it wasn't the easiest kick

Lucy8080

Great start from Wales. Unlucky with the kick, but serious intent on show .

Lucy8080

Knock on ,on the floor from Wales there.

Serious intensity here

kuang1

Both sides looking very sharp here. This'll be a cracker

munsterlegend

The difference in speed of play by both wales and Australia compared to us is unreal. Murray has a good look around before releasing the ball and defence is all over us.

Bazzo

Who do we want to win here?

I've been getting a lot of "concern" off a few Welsh mates since yesterday so I'm personally leaning towards Australia.

Great use of the advantage there.

Lucy8080

Aus. could be in for a battering here.

thomond2006

The Wallaby wanted no part of that high ball.

irishbucsfan

Brilliant sutff!

Happy4all

Wales have come out of the blocks fast. Doesn't look like the team be beat twice recently

Lucy8080

Good kick from Biggar. Wales on fire.

MadYaker

Wales off to a flying start here, I expected more from the boks

thomond2006

Oz getting destroyed on the deck. They can't retain possession.

Another arm round the neck from oz there!

Happy4all

Blatant late tackle...lucky to get away with that

Hooper a naughty boy. The TMO only said that there was no issues with the height, and no head contact, but did he use his arms? No.

Arnold also seems to be using seatbelt tackle technique every time.

mark_jmc

That was a clear yellow for me

c.p.w.g.w

How was that not a yellow, no arm shoulder hit... the refing In the world cup us beyond a disgrace.

thelad95

How many tackle decisions are the refs going to bottle? That's a malicious shoulder charge, it's clear that he eyed biggar up from a long way out.

Should have been a yellow.

Fantastic choke tackle there. Aussie really up against it.

Lucy8080

More great stuff from Wales there. Dominating this game ,so far.

Fiery mutant

The ref's are bottling it in this competition. Should have been a yellow.

irishbucsfan

That's their 3rd choke in this match. Remember Shaun Edwards was saying they should be banned

Lucy8080

Aus pass (outside 22) looked a lil forward to me, TMO?

Wow, Aussie hit back. This has the makings of an entertaining match.

Akrasia

This is going to be an absolute cracker of a game

ionadnapokot

Brilliant Australia! Great play from Kerevi and JOC

Was it the TMO or the touch judge that intervened on the knock on? Amazing it was missed in the first place.

klose

This is cracking stuff

Biggar hurts himself in the tackle....that's why you don't put your head on the wrong side.

Lucy8080

I feel sorry for anyone who is having a lie in. What an opening quarter to a game!
