It’s match day!
Been great to discuss the games as they happen throughout the tournament. How are we feeling about this final?

I think Frizell’s foul play yellow was worse; it wasn’t a neck roll (certainly not like the one that was done to Cody Taylor minutes later) and it was a pure accident that he fell onto the SA player’s leg.

Yup, and Barnes rushed to the decision from one angle on a giant TV screen at the other end of the stadium. The subsequent angle played after he had decided it was Yellow was much less bad looking for Frizell; but he’d already decided.
Its been a whole World Cup cycle plus a couple of years now of World Rugby attempting to stamp out head high contacts by dishing out red cards; it has not worked.
