Zammit played the ball on the ground before the try.
He was not on his feet and the ball came to him and he picked it up and passed it.
Seemed like a foul play to me, the ref watched it on the replay and said nothing.
Is that not a penalty to France for playing the ball while not standing up?

Your allowed to pass the ball from the ground.

swiwi_

Looks about 12 years old but Zammit is a serious prospect.

A-Train

That looks like no try

Bluwave

JRZ is 2021’s Kolbe

razorblunt

BBC wetting themselves calling a try, it was clearly grounded on the white ffs.

Weepsie

Didn't entertain a yellow for Wales earlier though? This ref is trying all too hard to impose himself all over the game.

He picked it up while off his feet. He didn't go to ground in possession of the ball.

Barnes is a sh1t TMO.

jammiedodgers

Brian Moore doing everything he can to jinx this

I had to turn them off earlier and go back to Virgin. It was like watching a schools match with all the parents.

A-Train

France look rudderless in this second half. Wales the better team but getting every bit of luck also.

Only if you go to ground with the ball.

Brian Moore is great on commentary, always gives me a laugh

GreeBo

Great grand slam win by officials Wales in fairness, consistent if nothing else.

razorblunt

Surely final warning for wales here, tons of cynical stuff after the 2 penalties in a row.

Weepsie

Referee is basically standing in Frances passing lane there. He may as well have intercepted it

razorblunt

May as call that a try on field too.

A-Train

Oh yeah France get over it is straight away held up decision

Bazzo

Surely Luke saw that grounded at some stage?

razorblunt

“You can’t give that” says Davies.

What the fúck did he think happened earlier.

GreeBo

I think that's grounded as he gets pulled over, the to of the ball on his chest pretty much had to hit the grass.

Hurrache

You can use the same yellow card twice ref.

A-Train

How many penalties can Wales give away before even a warning? Jokeshop

razorblunt

Another penalty, no warning.

Pearce watching DuPont getting pulled back immediately after feeding the scrum too.

touts

Wales try: we can't see that it didn't somehow touch a blade of grass so we have to give the try.

French Try: we can't see that it didn't somehow touch a blade of grass so we cannot give the try.


Wayne Barnes. Welsh player of the Tournament.

clsmooth

Wales have to be careful not to get a yellow here.

dirkmeister

That’s surely worthy of a yellow.

fullstop

Has to be yellow

GreeBo

Twice they have illegally stopped a try there

fitz

Should be a yellow card for the repeated penalties, regardless of the try.

Hurrache

Now will we see the nonsense of the potential yellow being wiped clean because of the try?

Clegg

Think France may have fecked themselves over.

Pretty sure one of their players either made a neck roll or made contact to the face of a Welsh player.

clsmooth

Either of AWJ and Williams could have gotten a yellow there.

swiwi_

Despite the try surely a YC.

A-Train

That should still be a yellow card to Wales regardless of France scoring the try.

I was just about to ask that, can a ref still issue a yellow when the try has been scored?

Hurrache

Ah FFS

beggars_bush

Omg

Wales are gonna get away with this

Not with this team of officials. The welsh could take off more french heads than Robespierre and still not get a card.

Could easily be 2 or 3 yellows

Hurrache

Lol, he says he'll just warn them for the repeated penalities. It's farcical

fullstop

“I was going to warn them if it was no try”. Is he for ****ing real?!

Can’t get the yellow out quick enough for french player now.

razorblunt

Are they looking at the clear out or the neck grab?

They’re falling over themselves, they’ve literally looked so many things they’ve found something.

RugbyLover123

This is a farce

A-Train

Ah this is a jokeshop. Wales getting away with murder there penalty after penalty but France will get the yellow card. Farce

touts

Barnes doing his best to get the french lad sent off.

KH25

This is farcial refereeing.

ongarite

Wales are the luckiest team with TMO and referee I've seen in one tournament.

beggars_bush

Classic Wales

Break rules, break rules.
Get away wigh it
