Penalty France as Wallabies goes offside at a maul after a lineout, 5m out.
France opt for the scrum

Wallabies getting repeatedly pinged at the scrum….
Penalty try France….. and a yellow card for a Wallabies prop
13 / 13
O hell there we go again , why the yellow. The penalty try is enough. Really a farked attitude to scumming by the IRB
24@ superBul:
Every referee now of the opinion that the Wallabies front row is made of tellytubbies and jellyfish….. quite true actually….. hehehe
The Wallabies are now going to kak even more come scrumtime… France will drive this nail home, now they’ve smelt blood in this department
Try Drew Mitchell??
…. TMO
Don’t think it was scored…. lost forward
@ grootblousmile:
24
but not true, they have preconceived ideas. The problem with scrums is it is one for you one for me. Watch later in the match the penalties will go the other way.
Wallabies scrum looking better with 7 players…. why, they all realise they have to push… not 3 loosies heads up like little meercats…
Knock by the Wallabies.
