[QUOTE=Rich_NL;373099]Agreed, I said "not entirely hers" meaning she shares the blame with others :)

If it had happened on halfway and after the ball went back from the leg followed by an England knock on in trying to retrieve the loose ball, what would we expect to be awarded?

Cos I dont beleive...

Id suggest that at times for defensive reset reasons this still happens in football and hockey (not that ive played hocley for decades!)

surely she has peronal professional integrity? And "Only following orders" is no excuse.

Cant recall if I said this already... how often do we see a #9 done for knock on when they drop the ball at the base of a ruck. It "always" gets blown as a knock on even though the distance dropped...

My take - not a million pence from 2 from the rest of you all.

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.

I see "Use it called" then what seems an age for the SH to toe the ball dopwn the caterpillar, then set up, check the chaser is good, then effect the kick. Im not anal enough to time it ,... but if...

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...
