I thought the ref was horrendous and im irish.. & i thought Stuart Barnes was a clown , well i still do but he has a contender now

They are all far behind Nigel Owens and Steve Walsh when it comes to being clowns !

Barnes and Owens are from the same mould. That said Owens wasn't at his worst last night at the Munster v Glasgow game which was a very entertaining game for the rugby purists.

Don't thjnk Barnes is too bad - a bit inconsistent as opposed to poor

Clancy is incompetent - shouldn't be near a rugby pitch

But Walsh and Owens in every game try to make themselves the highlight

Especially Walsh - shocking ref

A perfect example of Barnes was the challenge of Pape on Heaslip, Barnes saw it deemed it deliberate foul play but only yellowed him, then he gets cited and banned for 10 weeks!!!!!!

All rugby fans ask for is rules applied correctly and fairly to both teams.

Ah right didn't realise Barnes deemed it deliberately? Thought he recommended an after match citing to check it ?

Think about it though Phil, if it was deemed accidental then why yellow him? He bottled it as normal, the guy is a clown. I remember it at the time him saying to TMO deliberate foul play and yellow, sad thing is TMO agreed.

I didn't see it live but didn't realise he went to the TMO - but you're certainly not wrong

I suppose because he doesn't ref the England games don't get to see him much -
Always seemed ok when in the Prem

Ireland controlling the game right now

Umm well it looked easy for Ireland but did they get enough on the board after all that terrirtory ?

The ref being a little bit lenient in regards hands in the ruck and and certainly seems to be giving players a bit more time to allow things to happen.

Horrible half of attritional northern hemisphere rugby, neither side looking to string more than 2 or 3 passes together, both sides producing very slow ball at the breakdown and giving away far too penalties, especially England. They look far too afraid to lose rather than trying to grab the game and actually go and win it
