Unusual for a player less than six feet tall to play there

Unsurprisingly, Piers Francis will probably get a 3 week rest following his citing against USA

I would not be surprised to see him plead not guilty and be acquitted, to my eyes it looked that the initial contact was on the ball and rose up and there was an attempt to wrap the arm around.
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
I know there is a limit on the number of matches/minutes that players can be on the pitch during the course of a season but are there any guidelines for spectators ?
I think I have watched every minute of every match so far and enjoyed having a day off yesterday (although I did try to find a stream of the Gloucs match). Before my body has fully recovered from the past week though here we go again with 3 more matches today ... lucky this only happens every four years 
It will still be nice to get some 'real' rugby shortly ...

Tonga are fielding the first 1000kg pack I've noticed - apparently 155kg is just the one prop

How on earth did he see that as a ark being wrapped.

I see Quill has been savagely punished for his tackle on Farrell. Incidentally, although he was understandably a tad irritated by it, Farrell was lucky he couldn’t get near Quill, or he might well have had an enforced rest.

Big Dave was robbed.
Also, as an aside, I'd rather listen to Danielle Waterman's contribution to live rugby than most of the tripe we usually have to endure.

Japan have had a fantastic 1st half; 9-12 down. A couple of balls bouncing differently could easily have resulted in them leading. Date I say it, they’ve been the better side
