Wales left it late to stage a stunning comeback and beat France in their World Cup quarter-final on Sunday, but the circumstances surrounding the match-winning try sparked some heated debate on social media.

Warren Gatland’s team recovered from 10-19 down to win 20-19, with Dan Biggar converting Ross Moriarty’s 74th minute try.

There was an agonising wait for Wales as the TMO checked for a possible Wales knock-on in the lead-up to the try, but the score was awarded.

Yet many viewers felt that the TMO had gotten the decision wrong, with Tomos Williams ripping the ball loose, Justin Tipuric gathering and Moriarty managing to power over the line.

This was how fans on Twitter reacted to another hugely controversial decision at the World Cup:

Where is the new breed of All Black 10?

Players like Prendergast and Finn Smith already have a few seasons at top club level under their belt and are now test players, at an age when NZ players make their debuts in SR.

That’s just a difference in standards. You’re confusing SR for being their local domestic comps, where it’s more accurately comparable to Champions Cup, apart from that teams are happy to throw games as it’s in a bit of a limbo in terms of importance atm.


All these kids have been playing for a comparable NPC team for years now. Sam is no where near ready for tests but he has a great temperament, much like Sextons, that makes it a good choice to speed up his development. He wasn’t even a comparable Super Rugby starter before playing for Ireland, so not a great comparison.


Fin would be much better example, but then England don’t have 3 world class Test tens in front of him (not that I’d put Beauden their but obviously in terms of young NZ players chances, he is). Would he otherwise have debuted at the same age as Fergus Burke (injury and leaving withstanding), around 24, a couple of years later? England also aren’t as pedantic to who they give jerseys to, in NZ a test jersey is very hard earned for the most part.


In general I think the effects are as you say, but the only difference is the money involved, as you yourself said, their paths are just as all over the show being loaned out playing for clubs etc. My solution to that, and what you perceive as the problem, would be to introduce university football that utilitizes the large investment they have into high performance sport.
