Clear no try.
Ref has been good except for failing to use the TMO.
I am afraid that I thought the ref was average. 3 critical decisions that he clearly got wrong. On the plus side, all those decisions went in our favour, so that is a mitigating factor.

Think the ref had been fairly good overall.
He controls the game pretty well. Did I hear he hasn’t been reffing 1st tier tests for long?
Should’ve gone upstairs to check the high tackle.

In very surprising news, BB has only kicked 4/9.
A tad harsh. They were all on the sideline. Should have nailed at least one of those though.
How good was SB though. I'd written him off this year but he was terrific.

How did the Blues miss Karl Tu'inukuafe? Hanks must be useless.
Long may the Blues keep giving the Chiefs their cast-offs...

The yellow card decision was ropy, but would it have reversed the eventual outcome? An emphatic NO.
I agree. I would just think the French were robbed of an opportunity to play a full game.
It’s entirely their fault that they waved grandad’s old white flag after the YC but as a spectator I would have preferred the ABs to show what they can do 15 on 15 to get the game going their way. -
I know we all know this...but seriously, how good is Rieko? England can only dreeeeeam of such wingers....instead they have to make do with Brad Shields...

@act-crusader He just needs to ask simpler questions: “Why do you think you won/lost? What would you have changed? What was the turning point?”

That Jordie DMac 15 and sub combination works well. Keep DMac away from 10 though
That will be difficult for the bench though. I think Mo'unga should get the 22 jersey to cover 10, but if they hand Dmac the 23 jersey, who is covering the midfield? Rieko? BFA?

Given they were pretty much all out there you would hope he’d adjust. He didn’t.

Yeah, I hate the way they state their opinion then shove the mic in the players face. If I was the player I'd just respond with "OK" and then wait for an actual question.
