They see Barnes as a cult hero

Nah, reckon Jonker's their man, Barnes has turned into a bloody good ref.

Whoosh. Know anything that happened in 07?

Nothing happened in '07

Wasn't that the year there was supposed to be a RWC but it was cancelled?

[stodders]

Ball out? Refs are so inconsistent on that one. One day you get pinged, the next the French get the rub of the green and go 80m!

And to think some were saying they'd turn us over

Commentators are embarrassing themselves

[stodders]

Danty never released the ball carrier. How is that a penalty?

[kiwiinmelb]

France v boks will be an interesting game

[mooshld]

This ref has never once called tackle release when the players knee touched the ground it's like he totally forgot that's a thing.

[mooshld]

Hahah he just did for the first time! But against Italy.

Sounding like teenagers who've found their dad's porn stash

Just watched the first half.

Marius Jonker is single handedly determined to ruin Rugby

He doesn't stop at half time.

[MiketheSnow]

Great try

[Victor Meldrew]

Italy fightback has started.

Can someone do something technical with the female commentators voice? As grating as chalk on a blackboard

[Steven Harris]

You have got to wonder after 18 years in the 6 Nations why the Italians have not improved, I reckon if you stuck Tonga ,Samoa and Fiji in that same comp they would be much more of a threat

Ask Kevin Keegan

[mooshld]

I read somewhere that Italy decided not to even review the game against the all blacks.

In hindsight that may have been a bad idea. A review might have helped them avoid playing exactly the same clueless rugby two weeks running.
