I think he painted himself in the corner and then paniced and just blustered on.

One thing is for sure once he awarded it whatever he did afterwards one side was going to be enraged.

Bang on. Hes a French ref. EVERYBODY knows French refs never pull a rabbit from a hat - but an aardvark from a pair of underpants instead.

Its not a case of IF they make an odd/left...

We do have them. ie player pundits.

it doesn't make their opinions any more worthwhile.

Aye. When the discussion is fully public and the ref comes to a conclusion and says "Do we all agree" it leaves 2 x ARs and a TMO in a difficult position if they do disagree.

Looks like RC to me. Head contact with force.

He certainly appears to have become rent a gob

Theyll say nothing. They rarely hang their refs out to dry.

I thought hed lost control of both teams very early on. Wales were far better at reading him of course, but like England they weren't interested in him otherwise.

The obvious question is why did her assessor praise her then tell her to not repeat it? The only reason I can think of is that nobody else did it therefore it was out of sync with expectations?

Oh to be a fly on the wall at the debrief...

So if the review takes 3 minutes the game in effect only lasts 87 minutes? That 3 minutes doesnt become time added on once 90 minutes is up?

This.

I was wonderign if in fact the whole coaching approach was "we'll risk a RC". Which doesnt make any sense to me, outside of cynical plays in the last 10 minutes (im not suggesting that is...

well that would see halpenny RC after two attempts by him to tackle then. Indeed.

This. 100%.

for if nothing else jumping to avoid a tackle form behind has a very very very very very low risk of dangerous play involved.
Jumping to avoid a tackle from right in front ie head...

And the FK gets taken as a scrum and we are bacvk to square one. Unless of course eventually becasue it happens to often you end up with a PK for deleiberate law breaking.

but you had be pretty...

That's a FK that can be of course taken as a scrum? becasue after all, a FK on your own 10m line is other wise just useless.

I thouht it was. maybe i have the worng game? Cant say I CBA to watch the entire game again to try and find it - LOL

as was oft debated at the time. Watch the Ire v Fra game - (think it was that one?) somebody jumped to catch a ball that had already boiunced - and won a pk for beign tackled in the air. was the...
