Plus a Welsh guy holds on, the whistle goes to the lips, and then he plays on....................he might as well have worn a red shirt.

Plus the TMO? 30 odd cameras and they STILL get it wrong? Dear dear.

When even Jiffy agrees that the TMO should not have awarded a try to Wales, you know it is a howler!

If there is one thing that annoys me greatly it is a team feeding the ball blatantly
to the second row (the first offence) and the ref blowing against the other team for any of
the other numerous offences (second offence).

Even the pundits don't comment on it now.

I could add several crocodile rolls, two very blatant maul pulldowns by AWJ, numerous offsides. The feeds into the second row! :smt005

Referee errors basically nullify each other in rugby. If you think the refs are useless or corrupt (such is the power of the ref in any rugby match) you may as well give up watching altogether.

Hilarious though that English people are whining about the ref in a match that their team didn't play in.

Have Wales ever won a match fairly in your eyes?

Right what they say about Leicester tigers supporters and Leicester rugby in general..


That it is a hotbed for English Supremacism.

Just a shame Wales cannot knock England out of their world cup again this year. Guess we will have to make do with the championship.

And Welsh fans are such balanced, unbiased individuals?

I think the idea of the TMO was that injustices (Such as Wales' first try) did not happen in any game and we would not have to tolerate the lottery of things levelling themselves out?

-> Err in fact the errors often don't nullify each other and they didn't yesterday. I'm sure no Welsh people ever complained about the ref though eh?

Hilarious though that English people are whining about the ref in a match that their team didn't play in.

-> Yes we have an opinion about everything. PS: There are Tigers supporters on this forum who aren't English but don't tell anyone. PPS: I am not one of them as I am English. PPPS: We even have Welsh people in our team!

Have Wales ever won a match fairly in your eyes?

-> Yes but not yesterday.

Right what they say about Leicester tigers supporters and Leicester rugby in general..

-> So they are talking about us - oh dear me.

That it is a hotbed for English Supremacism.

-> Yes of course it is, we are the master race - why would anyone think otherwise?

Just a shame Wales cannot knock England out of their world cup again this year. Guess we will have to make do with the championship.

-> But you can stop us winning the 6N and getting a Grand Slam - wouldn't that be enough for you?
Anyway must be past your bedtime by now...

Clancy was dire for all the above mentioned things.The Roberts try should have been a scrum penalty to Scotland long before it got to him.

And as Scotsman on an English site I would say as I have often said that the guy I would prefer to referee Scotland would be Wayne Barnes. Keep Clancy and the other Irish bloke away from us and keep Owens away whilst you're at it!
