I thought Wayne Barnes dealt with Saturday's ending as best he could, and showed himself one of the best and calmest operators in our little reffing world. One "criticism" I would have would be some of his communication to and about players. I know it is different at international level and they are seeing these guys week in week out, but I'm sure I heard him call Sam Warburton "Warby" at one point, and when communicating about going back for a yellow card "to Dan Biggar" rather than "#10". Maybe a minor thing in such a major game but are there any opinions on this type of thing? Could it have impacted how he was perceived by the French if he was not using nicknames/first names etc for them (he may have been and I didn't hear it, of course)?
