Re: 6 Nations 2022
Let’s just let the referee make all the decisions unless there is foul play. Too many delays waiting for 3 or 4 re-plays

Yes there would be the odd mistake but they’re not infallible now

Potential red here

Re: 6 Nations 2022
TMO seems to want a red Barnes rightly saying its not foul play, a weaker ref caves in to that
Re: 6 Nations 2022
Wel done Wayne,that’s why you’re a great ref! Bravo!

Re: 6 Nations 2022
First view I thought it was red but brilliantly handled by Barnes. He had wrapped the ball in both arms

Re: 6 Nations 2022
Mine too, foul play or when asked by the ref. Too many refs just accept what they say. Last night a case in point
Re: 6 Nations 2022
That’s a great point ,if that balls carried in lower that could’ve been head on headJimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Sat Mar 19, 2022 6:01 pm also Henderson should go as well if that's a red for tackling whilst upright he tackles properly the incident never happens

Re: 6 Nations 2022
Good decision by Wayne B. I sense frustration in his voice with Stuart Ha Ha. This is only the 2nd time I've heard this commentator; I know he's been around for ages but he's poor compared to the BT pair.

Re: 6 Nations 2022
He's been Sky's rugby commentator for years but normally Stuart Barnes is taking everyone's ire

Re: 6 Nations 2022
This is the voice we used to get when Sky covered the premiership. Stuart Barnes best mate
Re: 6 Nations 2022
It was like the try in the corner at Welford Road where the TMO seemed determined to keep showing the same perfectly good try in the hope that the ref might have a change of mind when one look was ample.
Now he is trying to argue an arm holding the ball contacting the tacklers chest is a forearm smash to the head of the tackler! Wayne Barnes is showing the TMO why he is right and not being persuaded otherwise. Well done Mr Barnes. TMO please shut up and let the game continue and accept the ref is the senior official at the match.
