Poor technique?

Wales currently lead Australia 23-8 in an incredible Rugby World Cup pool encounter – but the game has not been without controversy.

Referee Roman Poite has done his best to keep control of both sides, but many feel he got a decision wrong against Wallaby Samuel Kerevi that could ultimately prove to be very costly for Australia.

The centre was penalised late in the second-half for leading with his forearm in contact on Rhys Patchell in contact, with Aussie captain Michael Hooper getting into a big argument with the referee.

“That’s just terrible tackle technique … we can’t carry if that’s going to be the ruling” Hooper said.

Wales bagged three points from the penalty and scored a converted try from an intercept shortly after the restart.
