Southern Hemsiphere teams and Northern Hemisphere refs aren't a happy combo.
Interesting analysis
you dont think its fair? the NH and SH definitely seem to interpret the rules differently

it's not fairness, it's a fundamental issue in rugby. The interpretation changes week to week are baffling. World Rugby hold this - they select grade and instruct the referees.

From just a quick look the French have only played 6 matches this year 2 against Italy and 2 against Japan.. yeah great graph
-
@bayimports surely they played the 6N too so thats another 5 games

I was expecting that, but not according to world rugby.. (filter on France and 15s only and mens results)

@bayimports but...we know they played in the 6N so something is obviously wrong with that, just google gives more believable results
-
@Kiwiwomble yep was looking for it, appears website playing up.. changed website and there it is..I was beginning to think it didnt happen lol even though I watch some games..

Two against Italy ????
So far this year, France have played the 6N (5 games), 2 games in June against Japan, 1 against Australia and 1 against South Africa. -

Get NH refs for Super rugby and things would come right pretty quickly.
And NH TEAMS might see an upturn.

Without the breakdown of whether a NH or SH was reffing a particular match it's impossible to determine that

Now that the tour is over, here are a few lessons learned :
De Groot and Lomax are certainties. They are the best props in NZ by a country mile.
Dalton P is clearly the best openside. Will Cane return as captain ?
Retallick and SW are still faring very well. Their first half against England was sublime. Let's hope one additional year will not be to heavy to bear.
If Jordie stays in midfield, then Foster will have to look for a fullback : Jordan ? Love ? Stevenson ? Sullivan ? BB has lost his pace and his confidence.
The defence still needs a lot of work while the attack relies too much on individual feats. Cross kicks look like the answer to the rush defence but their systematic use is a worry as variations are asking more questions to the opponents. -
@cgrant I'd add that Laulala is a waste of space in the squad unless there's injuries. I really don't understand the point of him. Supposedly a good scrummager, but I don't expect a good scrummager to give away more penalties than a lesser scrummager.
We are also in dire need of proven coaches in:
Defence
Skills
Field kicking -
All the AB props missed some key tackles today. I would hope that this was Laulala's last chance to prove he is good enough at this level. That was answered in the negative.
de Groot still needs to work on his fitness as he is very slow off the ground, but he is a keeper. Time to get rid of the old guard.

I didn't follow the thread or get to see the game but the comments don't seem too angry or upset? So was it good in retrospect to evaluate pros and cons of the current team?
But the way England came back seems very AB-like.
Perhaps they were quite fit or the bench far superior (or the AB bench the converse?) -

Need to sort that come WC playoff time, does it point to the bench being wrongly selected at times I think so. -
