[Hugh Jarse]

Loved the TV stat that proudly showed Welsh lineout was 100% (4/4) as Wales lined up to throw their 5th lineout. Nek minnit The Darkness steal the lineout.

Not the commentators curse but the floor managers curse.

[ACR]

Wayne Barnes.. still a shambles of a ref.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The Darkness just going through the motions. No panic, just play 80 minutes footy and they have the confidence that they will score more.

 

[swingpass]

Barnes WTF

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Wayne Barnes.. still a shambles of a ref.

Just when the kiwis were starting to forget about 2007.

Good to see a ref backing themselves and challenging the TMO.

 

[boyo]

B. Davies, Webb off
G. Davies, Ball on

 

[swingpass]

Well 1/2 isnt bad

Well
Yes it is
Wasnt the forward pass fiasco the whole point of having a TMO

 

[zer0]

Wayne loves it. The filthy masochist.

 

[Highlander35]

The first try was forward as well, so he's got two wrong now.

Happy to see the ref make a decision
But dont go to the TMO in the first place then

 

[Ash]

I dunno, I have no real issues with that being called forward, it was barely flat at best. His hands were definitely not moving backwards. So long as it is consistent.

Same with the Kaino penalty the commentators complained about a bit before that, you could see that Kaino deliberately put himself on the wrong side then made a half hearted effort to get out of the way.

 

[Slim 293]

Naholo is such a selfish player........ bombed two tries now.

 

[boyo]

Harris try
FT 39-21

 

[Blake]

Haha, completely Immaterial to the game and I wouldn't even say Wales had rub of the green. But wow, that was a poor call from Barnes - fitting though.
