Yes and no. Both teams have great players- weren't allowed to show it. But international rugby is supposed to be the showcase of how good top level rugby is. When two good sides are unable to show that in perfect conditions, Houston we have a problem

Make sure the ref isn't from nh, preferably Joubert. That will break up nz attack with a string of penalties to australia

Mind yew, one glimmer out of yesterday's nz romp is that the ref was French. There is no way that Joubert would allow abs to build such continuity. Better hope that he refs the bledisloe

Think you r right. Happens in scrum too. But yesterday he also came on with a such fixed idea on breakdowns that neither side could establish any continuity inattack. as soon as ball went wide and a player was tackled the defending side would be allowed to pinch the ball. Under joubert s law You...

First thing is that there needs to be consistency. Joubert in ire vs wales reffed the breakdown completely differently from the game yesterday. We actually have same ref altering interpretations depending on hemisphere audience.

Think so. He was well below best. Bit worried about his future. However. I ve seen mc caw today and I think he can make switch too.

Great post. Reffing was gash but both teams did best to overcome it. You re right. November in Cardiff will have a new edge to it. Can t wait

The future. Warbs at 8. Tipuric at flanker.

Well done wales

Did anyone in the stadium understand why the first half was tuned into a kickfest?he was almost even handed in his reffing of the breakdown. Yes the game today was one for fans only but not for want of trying on either coaches part. There were 10000000 examples of rucks in nz game which Joubert...

Think my previous postings re the demise and retirement of mr mc caw were premature. His day as a flanker may be numbered but he was awesome at #8

If we d played any better we d have won the series, then yew could ve been really miserable. Surely if rugby internationals are close, then that s a good thing. Who gives a flying f@ck if you re disappointed by wales lineouts. Both teams have certainly entertained me over the last few weeks...

The Irish were lucky to get 0. Thank Christ we toured australia

There was nothing between either side today. One penalty vs one conversion. I was afraid that joubert might exert an undue influence and he did. F@ck me ffaro. Who knows what those penalties were for! Never mind. Great day. Great tour. What should worry all of us is the 60-0 thrashing.

Bollocks in spades

Bollocks

Absolutely. Actually think Joubert is the best ref ATM. But it's also true that for first 45 we had no idea what he was going to blow for and what he wasn't. Bore da Dai! Mae'r haul yn yr awyr las yma. Mae Tim Cymru yn mynd I ennill heddiw.

I said even handed

Well alright. Let s hope he is as evenhanded as he was in rwc rather than Brisbane

Joubert ref. hmmm . We ll see if he has an influence on the breakdown again
