Kerevi carrying the ball in the wrong hand for that collision.

errlloyd

Dan Biggar wasn't looking too wrappy there was he.

FrancieBrady

Engrossing game!

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

Think Poite just saw it on the big screen and corrected himself.

Lucy8080

Forearm?

Wtf there is nothing in that

MadYaker

That poor ginger lad got steam rolled there

Weepsie

Doesn't look like he lead with it,

Happy4all

Aussie's filthy

awec

This is bollocks. Not a penalty for me.

Seems a complete lottery what the TMO might decide to pick up on in a match.

DellyBelly

Ah this is bollix. That's just normal impact. Rugby is becoming soft

Lucy8080

Tbh ,I wouldn't even give a penalty for that one.

Jesus Sean O'Brien wouldn't have had a career if this is a penalty. Shocking.

damianmcr

Was he meant to put his arm behind his back ffs. Soft.

Itv saying no wonder Patchell went over. He's half his size is why ffs

Bazzo

He'd just caught the ball, think that's harsh.

What a half. Has to be the best game so far.

Bull****. Wasn't a penalty against Hooper at the ruck earlier either where Wales scored 3. Wales getting a helping hand here.

MadYaker

This is a waste of time nothing wrong with that

awec

Hooper is spot on there. This is rubbish.

Weepsie

He's right. Terrible tackle technique. He just stood there and out himself in danger.

Refs have been absolute dirt

Hahaha. Hooper has a fair point, it was terrible tackling technique.

blackwhite

Hooper dead right - terrible tackle technique and Aussies get punished for it

Lucy8080

Natural instinct to push away with your arm after the contact. Nothing wrong with the initial contact..soft pen.

razorblunt

Hooper saying it’s awful tackling technique, same lad shoulder charged Biggar earlier.

Larbre34

Michael Hooper is 100% right IMO.

irishbucsfan

They should have stepped down further once it wasn’t direct contact

Kearney gets a hit to the eye, has to go off and crickets and this bull**** is awarded a penalty.

Getting extremely fed up with this wildly inconsistent refereeing.

Former Former

Good refereeing there.

CurryFlavoured

Last 6 welsh points gained from incorrect penalties imo.

sydthebeat

Yep agreed 100% with hooper.

Wow. Gareth Davies has some wheels.

thomond2006

Oh boy. That penalty turns into 10 points.

mark_jmc

Boooom!

Mantis Toboggan

Super try

Happy4all

Brilliant from Wales.

Didn't see this coming

blackwhite

Surely offside - miles ahead of the line

A-Train

Breakaway intercept try to Wales.

Larbre34

How can he have been onside at the breakdown?

Australia were away there down the wing before Poite blows up. Game swung completely the other way now.

NeonWolf

Ah lads . We have talked ourselves into hysteria these days. It’s a contact sport

Lucy8080

Intercept has been coming.

Ya he has been watching out for them. Would like to see another angle on if he came from an inside position though.

Once he caught the ball serious pace to score

sydthebeat

That's the problem with a scrum half taking a step before the pass.... Davies read it perfectly

MadYaker

Aussies will be raging with that

Not just that but wildly inconsistent TMO interference

Lucy8080

Well, that half flew by!

Worst thing is we have to put up with the Michael Cheika moany face.

Buer

Baffled as to how Poite didn't ask to check the offside. He might well have been onside but he was so far ahead and started his run from deep early that there's a decent chance he wasn't.

kuang1

I feel for OZ now... Was neutral at the start of this one, just hoping for some good entertainment. (and it is)
But I'm shouting for the Aussies in the 2nd half now.

And that's nothing to do with Wales, just coz of the officiating.

Fukkkking shocking.
