Rugby World Cup: England’s Matthew Carle at center of controversy after Wales – Fiji

Fiji has always enjoyed great popularity in France. The 2023 World Cup is no exception to this rule. This Sunday evening, the Flying Fijians Entered the match against Wales but lost 32 to 26 after a maddening contest. They could have won if Semi Radratra hadn’t done this forward when the field was open.

But this Wales-PG Matthew Carly referee is also being talked about. Many judge the decisions of English referees on two levels. The most divisive situation was the yellow card given to Fiji’s third row Legima Dakitakivalu (63).^e), the Welsh had spent ten minutes racking up foul after foul without receiving a card.

A remarkable statistic is that the Welsh were penalized 17 times, 13 of which were in their own camp! For 1 yellow card… in 67^e minute, after Elliot Dee’s XV du Poireau’s fourth try. had a gift for annoying the web. “Why put an English umpire as a Welsh umpire? And in front of the Prince of Wales…”Some were surprised. “Put the green jersey on the Fijians and they’ll get two yellow cards and a penalty try…ridiculous”X talked about Hugo Bonneval, former international fullback (11 caps).

For their part, key Fijian stakeholders wanted to keep things quiet and not hide behind arbitration. “It’s difficult to speak directly after the match. When we were in their camp, we fouled them many times, but the Welsh players didn’t get a yellow card. But the referees have a tough job.”Coach Simon Raiwalui responded.

The Fijians face Australia on Sunday in Saint-Étienne (5:45 pm), trying to stay alive for qualification. Wales take on Portugal on Saturday in Nice (5:45pm).
