No way Sexton could have rolled away in that instance and if Barnes wasn't 100% sure, he could have just given penalty and warning. He could have also giving a decent advantage to Wales and see what came from that - but no. Straight to the card. Why not even try and advantage when you are that close to the line.

Wales gave away 3 penalties in strong attacking positions and didn't give one. This for me was the turning point of the match and sorry - thought it wasn't the right call.

I have to say, this sort of comment coming from someone who referees I find quite lame. WB is absolutely certain in his actions. There is no suggestion that he wasn't 100% sure. If you make a few decisions in your games that you are only 99% sure of I take it you will not blow the whistle at all?? Some people on this site have a complete fit if a coach (who may well be qualified) suggest a decision may not be entirely correct but if the result doesn't go your way, you act exactly like the coaches you complain about.

Current Referee grade:
Select Grade
Being certain in your decision and being correct are two entirely separate things.

You can't be 100% certain in all decisions.

Is that one of your decisions that is 100% right or is it one of the other ones?

:eek:)
