RWC: All Blacks v Ireland (QF2)
-
This was the most appalling match Nigel Owens has refereed....at least three yellows missed by head high and neck rolls by the Irish and the penalty try was absurd...Todd was hemmed in there against the post by an Irish player and couldn't get away even if he tried...lucky that wasn't a decision that could've effected the out come of the match. The world's best Ref?????

We won 46-14, ref had nothing to do with it.
And yes, the worlds best ref.

I knew I missed one name - I plead dealing with an irish friend who had the gall to say Nigel favoured the ABs tonight

I think he's suggesting that we'd have won by more if not for Nige's terrible refereeing

Oh hahahaha, you're friend is a bit a of a joker, is he?
-
Quick question - how many tries did Ireland's starting wingers score over the tournament?
-
Some big moves have happened and you have to give credit to the TWM
The big movers are Laulala, Savea, Mounga, ALB and Barrett in his best position at fullback -

Cane is the unsung hero for me.
We don't play so well when he isn't there.

He destroys their momentum in attack. just a defensive weapon.

Fucking hell. Never happy aye?
I remember when Dan Carter got yellowed for a horrendous tackle against Wales and the Fern foamed endlessly at the mouth about the IRB (as was) conspiring with the illuminati, aliens, English rugby clubs and the man on the grassy knoll to besmirch his sainted name.
Get a grip. -
Working this morning so missed the match.
It went as I predicted - congrats lads and all the best for the repeat.

Maybe not his best game, but Nigel was fine and reffed consistently, let the game flow and communicated well - as he always seems to do. Arguably the best Ref I've seen.
If we want decisions to be consistent across games, even when other refs aren't as good and make poor decisions on late or high tackles which wreck games, then so be it. Expect consistently poor reffing.
But I'd rather have a card-shy ref like Owens with his empathy with the players than a card-waving maniac any day.
