This ref is farked. Called a penalty advantage on halfway, brumbies get to within a couple of metres of a try about over a minute later then throw it into touch. He goes back for the penalty.

Also YC'd a rebels player for too many team infringements earlier, one of which was a player not rolling away, which was about the clearest example of a tackler getting trapped you'll ever see (he even made a mammoth effort to get himself slightly off the ground so the ball could squeeze under him, so it wasn't slowed down).

He's going to the Olympics, promising stuff.

Without watching the game are you by chance referring to a ginger ref?

[Bones]

@antipodean yes! Is he a brumbies club member?

Also found this picture of Parling talking to players at halftime. Mate how do your eyes even focus when you're that close?

He's proof that refereeing skills and knowledge aren't necessarily transferable between 7s and the XV game.

[Derpus]

@antipodean hes diabolical

[Bones]

@antipodean so at least he's a good 7s ref then?
