Looked forward on first viewing

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.

Never forget this:

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

That's pretty shocking. Extraordinary arrogance

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.

@NTA said in RWC: Scotland v Russia (Pool A):

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 🙄

Maybe this is where I'm going wrong, as the top hand of a spin pass always "looks" more backwards that it is at the point of release. But then often you can't see the bottom hand as the ball is in the way. FIIK.

[MiketheSnow]

Job done very well Scotland
Can they beat Japan? Yes

Will they beat NZ? Not a chance.

Better for the game if Japan beat Scotland and progress to the QF for the first time

It's a fine line.

Hard to feel sorry for Scotland in this situation after they handed out a thrashing.

Not like it... I dunno... decided a quarterfinal or anything 😎

Better for my health if Scotland beat Japan and send Ireland to the other side of the draw!
