Foul Play
TMO/Tries
Match | Clip | Comment |
NZ v FRA (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | High Tackle - https://youtu.be/FoA-ekFySBI | PK only but not a YC |
NZ v FRA (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | High Tackle - https://youtu.be/9uByKMJ6A0M | YC for NZ 7 as strike to head but no force. Much has been discussed about NZ18 but for me I don’t rule his action as foul play |
USA V RUS | High Tackle - https://youtu.be/F7Lrr3Ct44c | Correct decision, initial contact below the shoulder line and then slips up |
SA v ENG (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Late charge - https://youtu.be/9YCIvbLHk3U | Correct decision in the context of the game as he didn’t have to follow through and had previously been involved |
AUS v IRE (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Tackle in the air - https://youtu.be/sc2XsD77tks | PK only as timing out and G15 didn’t pull player to ground |
ARG v WAL (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Tackle in the air - https://youtu.be/nEtxOfl0T6c | PK only as again timing out and W10 didn’t pull player to ground |
General Play
Match | Clip | Comment |
CAN v SCO | Deliberate knock on - https://youtu.be/mJnpGoYf69s | Correct decision as probable try would have been scored |
JPN v ITA (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Deliberate knock on - https://youtu.be/kCk4h4adYuA | Correct decision, no opportunity for line break |
NZ v FRA (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Knock on Offside - https://youtu.be/au0ZR4QeWZo | Scrum call correct as F15 puts F14 onside before he catches the ball |
WAL v SA | Knocked out of play - https://youtu.be/v0PmFPRCbhA | Q, was the ball deliberately knocked dead? Yes so YC. Would a probable try have been scored? No so no PT |
Lineout

NZ v FRA (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Gaps - https://youtu.be/2XZpxwwLQyg | While I understand the FK, it should be PK for jumping across as F4 clearly makes contact with opposition |
NZ v FRA (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Gaps - https://youtu.be/OlQnB0_wnHo | Correct decision because first time it was a FK |
Offside
Match | Clip | Comment |
NZ v FRA (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Offside – retreating player - https://youtu.be/l2RY3_BS-JA | NZ3 offside, should be PK |
SA v ENG (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Offside – retreating player - https://youtu.be/0ZAUbBD-SdA | SA9 never gets to hindmost foot so clearly offside, AR input?? |
AUS v IRE (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Offside – retreating player - https://youtu.be/gDUVd3h_lZ4 | Correct decision for lazy runner |
TMO
Match | Clip | Comment |
JPN v ITA (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Grounding - https://youtu.be/47eHo80HdAc | Correct decision |
CAN v SCO | Grounding - https://youtu.be/rPwimouMGMk | Correct decision |
AUS v IRE (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Knock on - https://youtu.be/l8dJfU7ukYs | TMO has clear footage to show ball was lost forward so correct not to award try. If the screen had gone blank what would you as a ref awarded? |
AUS v IRE (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Playing opp w/out ball - https://youtu.be/jaTk6mfdXec | This tackle should either have been dealt with immediately or not at all. |
NZ v FRA (1[SUP]st[/SUP]) | Double movement - https://youtu.be/sHoNN_Ol5_8 | Incorrect try because of double movement |
Round 2
Foul Play
Match | Clip | Comment |
NZ v FRA (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Foul play referral - https://youtu.be/TbAL-ILHN1I | Dominant tackle that becomes a tip tackle because of contact to players on the ground and therefore PK only |
SA v ENG (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Foul play referral - https://youtu.be/BhCQSOi3b0U | In the context of this game a YC should have been awarded |
AUS v IRE (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Chop Tackle - https://youtu.be/4_pr9pa2S4E | No attempt to make a tackle, PK and YC |
ARG v WAL (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Red card - https://youtu.be/aVV7XdHUWEs | RC correct decision and Arg 10 should have also been given a YC for instigating it |
NZ v FRA (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Red card - https://youtu.be/hHkrX-Mx6HI | I have already emailed you all on this. Given the reverse angle shows a mitigating factor not seen by MO’s it’s a YC |
JPN v ITA (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Swinging arm - https://youtu.be/87BXPEhcCbw | Correct decision |
TON v SAM | Swinging arm - https://youtu.be/jA_YPAJa7Ws | No TMO did not help as direct contact with force to the head so RC |
AUS v IRE (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Lifting Tackle - https://youtu.be/Fp9MKw8PD80 | Correct decision |
AUS v IRE (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Cynical Play - https://youtu.be/KJXIUI5OJvk | Correct outcome but this is not in protocol. There was luck involved with both this clip and the one below as you could argue a deliberate knock on |
SA v ENG (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Cynical Play - https://youtu.be/Fowk4cVnfLg | As per my comments above |
General Play

SA v ENG (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Blocking catcher - https://youtu.be/n2DZNuYGmds | PK for obstruction |
SA v ENG (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Blocking catcher - https://youtu.be/obl90eTRMSk | Good PK |
TMO/Tries
Match | Clip | Comment |
AUS v IRE (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Grounding - https://youtu.be/nmPIbUOodyo | Good process and correct decision |
SA v ENG (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Grounding - https://youtu.be/lvFAAfe_W70 | Question is if SA5 made it to his feet before attempting tackle. Reverse angle at 0.49 probably shows he has done enough and correct to award try |
NZ v FRA (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Double movement - https://youtu.be/QF5b7xJs8Sc | Correct decision |
ARG v WAL (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Obstruction - https://youtu.be/I_p_xW0V1N4 | No obstruction |
AUS v IRE (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Penalty Try - https://youtu.be/gMM6mKDJQbk | Correct decision as pull down initiated before going into in goal |
USA v SCO | Penalty Try - https://youtu.be/KCE9ifVY2GU | YC for high tackle but not a PT |
SA v ENG (2[SUP]nd[/SUP]) | Penalty Try - https://youtu.be/xcYh5uHPlvs | Once the scums pops up like this advantage cannot be played if ball is kept in the scrum. PT is wrong decision |
Round 3
Foul Play
Match | Clip | Comment |
AUS v IRE (3[SUP]rd[/SUP]) | Collision in the air - https://youtu.be/w8PJDZcE9kM | Correct decision as A15 also has hands on the body |
AUS v IRE (3[SUP]rd[/SUP]) | Elbow - https://youtu.be/0OBpi0YlWAE | YC is correct decision as lacking in force for RC – but close! |
JPN v GEO | High Tackle - https://youtu.be/CygCLiX1Yrs | Correct decision |
TMO/Tries
Match | Clip | Comment |
AUS v IRE (3[SUP]rd[/SUP]) | TMO Review 1 - https://youtu.be/hs96cudhvnA | In the context of what was at stake I can understand the review but it was clear from early on that no contact was made by Ire11 and process took too long |
NZ v FRA (3[SUP]rd[/SUP]) | TMO Review 2 - https://youtu.be/ybllj0BeGTc | While the law book with support this decision, the common sense approach should have been to award a scrum for causing an obstruction |
NZ v FRA (3[SUP]rd[/SUP]) | TMO Review 3 - https://youtu.be/GqxlqCUO2MM | Ref said he saw grounding (wrongly) and in this case footage for TMO was clear the ball was held up. Messy process but correct outcome |
JPN v GEO | TMO Review 4 - https://youtu.be/xyTiaHNsMPM | Correct outcome but process took far too long |
