The Headmaster returns! (or should that be Tedmaster)
Canada will have a Webb Ellis Cup winner in their midst for the upcoming Rugby World Cup. Head Coach Kingsley Jones has enlisted the help of Sir Graham Henry, the former All Blacks supremo, as an advisor for the upcoming tournament that kicks off next month. The 73-year-old recently spent a week with the team in Fiji and will stick with the outfit through their time in Japan. -
The French Refs will need to check with the TMOs before giving Red Cards for high tackles.

Um. Pretty sure the barrett red card did go via the tmo...

Yeah it did - at least for Kermit (muppet frog) to rule on it.

In fact, I struggle to think of any red card that the ref has given without asking first for a TMO review.

Maybe Wayne Barnes Jamie Heaslip vs mccaw. Think he went red without asking.

Don't think the TMO would have disagreed with the red card for Heaslip.

@nzzp he gets it right often, but also has some howlers.

Got that right. The thing that boggles my brain is he's 98% a good ref, and then has those brain explosion/howlers that blow up the games.
This is all post-07 though ... whistle properly swallowed that day

8:50 TIMES PLAYED TOGETHER
Fascinating

@taniwharugby Not giving that shit a click. The title and the name Stuart Barnes say enough.

@Stargazer this line pretty much sums up the article:
"… New Zealand, the most positive attacking team in the world, have their flip side. They are also the most cynical cheats at a breakdown."

It's all jealousy 'cos ABs are so good at it. All part of the game, giving away penalties when needed etc. Every team does it, but like most things, ABs the best at it.

I'd love to see Owen Farrell go in for one of his trademark shoulder only tackles and get marched. Lots of teams out there that engage in proper filth but no one is moaning about them

Was Colin Farrell around long enough to gain a reputation for shoulder only tackles. Here are the reasons why he did not stay in the All Blacks for any period of time.
In his favour he did at least find touch with most of his kicks and the one he didn't he forced the Lions player into a knock on. It was also delivishily cold ana rainy at Athletic Park and very heavy underfoot conditions at Lancaster Park. Quinny in fine voice though.
