RWC: Scotland v Russia (Pool A)

[Stargazer]

Last pass looked forward.

[TeWaio]

Barnes fks a forward pass call again on replay. Was backwards out of the hand. Travelled forwards due to the player's speed. Why can't he get these right?!

I can live with that call. Hands weren't really backward tho the camera angle was shit to make that call

Yeah, I didn't mind that. How has nobody mentioned the Scottish try off that grubber where he stepped out???

Yeah it did, but they had a perfect slow mo replay, exactly parallel with the passer at the point of release. Which Barnes saw. And couldn't get over his mental block of forward passes.

Referee Wayne Barnes stoked the ire of New Zealand players this morning with this rather strange TMO call.

"Show me again George". Absolute twunt.

Wasn't parallel with the runner, which is why it was a shit angle

[TeWaio]

@NTA Maybe I have the mental block with Barnes then

I was at that game. I saw the first replay, saw that it was a try and then was talking to my dad. When they kept looking at I couldn't work out what they were looking at. I figured it wasn't the pass because it was so obviously fine ...

[NTA]

Fuck. Should have flattened him

That Russian 7 is a fucking superstar

Love how when he makes a tackle and goes for a pilfer, he shows a clear release to the ref.

[Tordah]

Wayne Barnes does it again, using the lines on the ground to adjudge a forward pass. Think the pass was fine.

Scotland aren't going to beat Japan with this streaky bullshit

Japan-Scotland will be an entertaining game if the Jocks think they need to match Japan by playing an uptempo game.

[Stargazer]

@Tordah Yes, looked good to me, too. Barnes is an idiot.

[NTA]

Hands - plural - must be going backwards or sideways, but that pass was definitely not that.

Fair call. Blame Jonkers and Barnes together if you must.

2007 was 12 fucking years ago 🙄
