So is the whinging about the whinging

Whatever it takes, apparently

In fairness, we don't know if he was pressing the button and BOK decided he'd seen it and it was OK. It's not as if the Assistant Referees are allowed to put up their flag for forward passes.

It was a high tackle.

Both teams had plenty of opportunity to lose that game, the Rebels just took their chances. That being said, I really object to the game being decided in the manner it was.

Hardwick's tackle was legal and he was hit with a neck roll ... says everything you need to know about Williams reffing.

How can you be sure about that?

Who is Callaway?

I heard that was the maximum ban under World Rugby guidelines.

It was a very pleasant surprise to read about the result while waiting for the Force/Drua game to start last night. Congrats to the Reds and their supporters, I'm very much looking forward to watching the replay over the weekend.

I'm sure geography is an issue, but in fairness the Force only got a multi-year participation agreement last year so it was difficult to plan longer term. They are a young team with a few experienced players, whose depth is being tested and who have played 8 of the first 11 games on the road...

He didn't suggest they might be bent.

I wondered the same on the night but I don’t think so, the injuries were just unfortunate accidents. It was the first game on the new hybrid synthetic surface installed for the Women‘s Football World Cup and it at half time there was a lot of maintenance going on.

It is a reasonable question. There has been no explanation as to how the incident was missed, which leaves only one alternative: they saw it but chose to ignore it. It is one or the other.

A replacement hooker who played a blinder as it turns out. So no, he did the right thing taking off a tiring player who had given his all, and replaced him with a fresh player who gave his all.

The Force is a relatively young team, and when senior players are injured you go with what makes sense at the time.

Gareth Simpson (not Garth) was previously confirmed as being at Saracens from the end of Super Rugby 2023

Unless you disagree with them? ;)

I've noticed a lot of "flat" (to be generous) passes being let go, except where they have resulted in a line break. I think that is reasonable given the desire to speed up play and favour the attacking team.
