Wales v France SF

[bignij]

Clearly not spending enough time playing it.

Easy tiger.
I admit I only played for 33 years but perhaps there are some more experienced players on here.
I can drive my car quite safely at well over 100mph on the motorway but the law says I can't, so I don't.

Somebody please send me the link to the IRB guidance on "spear tackles" getting soooo much abuse on FB :wink:

 

[Adam]

Really?

I saw one red card for Spear Tackles in the S15 this year, the rest were yellow cards.

This is a cop out. I pity the Welsh captain.

Why isn't Barnes refereeing this game? I just can't get over this.

August 2010 and August 2011.

All we as spectators want is consistency and really you can't blame people out in the rugby public who just think these referees aren't up to it.

or don't have either the high level playing or refereeing experience to have any understanding of just how difficult it is, compared to a simplistic wide angle armchair or grandstand view.

wtf aren;t they trying for the dg?

[Robert Burns]

ooh, first offence missed by Allain and gives the penalty the wrong way!

 

[chief]

Rubbish penalty. Silly call by Rolland. Bloke was completely playing it on the ground. Cop out of a call. Rolland isn't up to this.

 

[Dixpat]

Is this the ref mistake that changes the result - no 4 was infringing on the floor

 

[Dixpat]

Saved by the miss

what a silly emotional comment - this is a RWC semi-final at fast pace and high physicality. AR is calm controlled & collected and making clear & objective decisions in a pressure cauldron.
