Just heard the ref give a player a bit of a bollocking.

"Any more of that and your off".
"Yes Sir".

"We don't need that behaviour in the game".
"No Sir".

"Do you understand?".
"Yes Sir".

How refreshing, and has been said before, football could learn so much.

The TMO is awful

Owens is using it as a dummy who is incapable of referring the game on his own.

It doesn't really work as a comparison but imagine if a footballer had been on the end of the lawes' tackle :eek:

You hate Nige don't you. I rate him. I love his little sing song Welsh lilt :)

I think he is shocking - he is the Northern Hemisphere version of Steve Walsh - he needs to be involved and ensure that he is an attraction within the match. He is the one ref who constantly goes to the TMO even if its clear as day the issue. He is the rugby version of Howard Webb

It would help if we had any sort of control at the breakdown, but we insist on picking completely the wrong make up of back row what do we expect i guess.

Have to give Ford some room here, basically the creativity is squarely on his shoulders

Yeah thats a fair point - no idea why Haskell is playing instead of Wood and is Croft inured again ?

Thats a very good pass from Ford and great finish

A couple of points.

1. I generally don't watch rugby as I don't know all the rules and it's often slow and ponderous, but I'm fiercely patriotic and will watch England in any sport.

2. What a brilliant, exciting and free-flowing game of rugby. I'm loving it!

For me Robshaws not an openside, Billy V isnt fit enough for international rugby and dont get me started on Haskell.

We refuse to select the best openside in the world based on politics and thus end up with a complete mismatch of a back row by having Robshaw at 7 (hed be acceptable at 6 for me)
