On my rewatch one of the Ozzies actually jumps at the last penaly we took! Should be another penaly the grub!
The three comeback tries were really on ABs errors (first one should've been scrubbed). And these were all not acceptable 'I'd be happy they were all never seen in black again' level errors
Sotutu misses Foley badly
CC just fucking digs in by dozens of metres
Jordan can't tackle or even slow Samu"winning" penalty for Oz was Akira being unable to actually clean in a normal ruck, pathetic

That winning penalty was a fucking joke. Reynal stood right there as Foketi crawls into the ruck on his knees to jackal. He was never on his feet.
I was fucking seething as we scored the winning try because I still thought we had lost the game over that call.
He was shite in Chicago in our first loss to the Irish too.
A fucking toerag

I wonder if Foley taking that conversion quickly pissed the ref off
-
@No-Quarter maybe, but that's average still from the Frenchie, he really should have rubbed out that conversion.

Into the 2nd half of Spidercam. No good overhead angle on the Kellaway try to see if forward. But you can really see how bad the read is from Clarke in cover. JB is up in the defensive line from the first phase after the lineout, so CC drops back. But he's soooo slow to see the line Kellaway runs off Foley, he's 3 steps too late
-
Fark, I'm starting to sound like a CC hater now, which I'm really not, but the 2nd Kellaway try is an even worse read. Flying up like that into space that RM already has covered, leaving a 2-on-one for JB to defend. I'm no RM defender, but he does really well to scramble back, ultimately too little, too late.

@Bones well I think he is better than the rentaquote he has become after any controversial referee decision, and could offer more in an official capacity

He can't, the NPC rules doesn't apply.

Surely that's not true. If the ref says "don't kick yet" and someone ignores him, you're saying it has to stand? Is it a matter of calling time off?

Yeah, exactly. He went to blow the whistle, he is literally bringing it to his mouth, and Foley kicked. Too late, there is literally nothing he can do that I can see. The ref saying 'wait a minute' is not in the rule book
Well apart from actually enforce a rule that never gets enforced in the last minute later on
Karma

Aren't these videos released by WR? I imagine if the general public can watch them, refs can too. He doesn't have to devote extra time if he doesn't want to - I reckon he's probably devoted more than enough time already.

@Kirwan I see Owen's has had his usual post game review...if he wants to be involved he should really get on the referees panel or whatever to try and help the current crop of coaches instead of stirring the pot saying this and that was wrong and he'd have done this or that...
Why? Can't he just be another punter who's doing a "vlog" (probably because he's been asked to) that people can either take notice of or not? Instead he's only allowed to commit himself to more time and travel than just sitting down and recording a video on his farm.
Are all the guys on panel shows and other YouTubers also required to do this?
I guess he can do what he wants, but I think people shouldn't take what he says too seriously these days. He was obviously a good (& charismatic) ref, but his opinions in these videos are sometimes a little wonky
