    There was little chance of him getting off, it would set a precedent of inconsistency which is where most criticism of world rugby is aimed.

    Now, watch us get a red card on the weekend then get it overturned ... that'll feed the conspiracy theorists!

    Has Jones tweeted yet that apparently it was a 14 man commitee who all agreed to overturn, except for the NZ rep who denied?

    Yep - he had to get the same as everyone else.

    The good thing is that Henshaw is recovered and will be up for partnering his Leinster team-mate on Saturday.

    And the Irish rep who denied, no...?

    Barnes is going to referee the game. Very happy with that, Gardner would have been our worst nightmare.

    @Daffy-Jaffy The IRU got their money's worth out of the fancy lawyer they flew over.

    Confirmed? I assumed that we would not get a southern hemisphere referee, the NH unions would not allow it because it feels like stacking the deck in our favour. I would rather have Barnes than the frog men at this point. At least he won't probably miss any forward passes this time....

    Jeepers mate. Since when do unions appoint referees?? You sound paranoid.

    I think the English carry one on their staff. All disciplinary hearings need lawyers these days, it's kind of weird, but I guess improves the process.

    Clearly not the consistency though 🙂

    The refs all reviewed. I expect them to add experience into the mix for the choice. On form the French refs should miss out but they are experienced. Barnes has form and experience. So he’ll be one of the refs for sure

    Given that 4 of the 12 refs are French there is a good chance at least one, if not two, are involved in the QF and SFs. Those from the 12 that aren't selected will likely be ARs.

    @kiwiinmelb that was the duo in the fake team that was released last week 😉

    Gotta feel for Aki (or anyone that finds themselves in a similar position) all the work to get to this, then a momentary lapse and your dreams are gone!

    TAB odds are clearcut for all the QFs.

    https://www.tab.co.nz/sports/quick-multi

    If you believe these; South Africa, New Zealand, England and Wales will all win comfortably.

    I'd bet against that happening - though, I reckon the Jaapies will be comfortably too good for Japan.

    Aus 1-12 @ $4.50 (yesterday) didnt look the worst value bet out there

    A lazy $100 at those odds would help pay for the years of therapy I’ll need if we lose .

    Or a bender , it’s good to have options

    Has Jones tweeted yet that apparently it was a 14 man commitee who all agreed to overturn, except for the NZ rep who denied?

    And the Irish rep who denied, no...?

    That would be a touch far fetched ...

    Hansen knows this Irish team very well now.

    Last year in Dublin New Zealand were at the end of a hard season and had a tough game against the English.

    They will be fresh and well prep'd. I can see them sucking the Irish in the centre of the park, forcing them to commit players to the ruck, then hitting them out wide. I hope I'm wrong, obviously, but I can see a pretty big scoreline for the AB's.

    You may be new to the Fern but you've obviously played this underdog game before, and I won't let this continue. Ireland are odds on favourites, theirs to lose. Would be very surprised if the ABs got up.

    Err

    New Zealand 1/5 on
    Ireland 5/1

    Just sayin like...

    pfffft, sounds like another Paddy Power promotion to merk people.

    Yes - Paddy Power and 16 other firms on Oddschecker. 😉

    so it's a conspiracy then...
