This was a disgraceful incident, shocking to say the least. Is this referee French? In Rugby, i’ve never known a french ref ever to be fair with England. On balance of results, i was just glad we beat Brighton. Anyway, the 6 nations are more important in the year of world cup. I think we need to drop Farrell and start to think about who’ll be captain for the next world cup.
For once I don't think that it is tokenism as there are some very good black pundits out there. Unfortunately, he's not one of them.
I thought the first two Welsh tries were absolutely diabolical decisions ....... distinct whiff of bias and anti-English from French officials. In the end England threw it away with poor discipline having got back to 24-24 ...... but the poor decisions when they happened had a much bigger impact on the match
Also ..... don’t get me going on this .... the England players retreated after the “ref discussion” presumably because they thought Biggar was going to kick at goal ...... pretty usual from a position to kick an easy penalty at that stage of the game ..... and then the bugger plays it like a quick tap penalty in the middle of the pitch ..... diabolical ... but if the ref allows you to get away with it .....
Although born in Wales of Welsh parents and a grandfather who played rugby for Wales, the first try was an appalling decision and should never have been allowed. The second, I'm not so sure of, a bit of a technicality that one. Perhaps moving to Herefordshire when only a month old makes me less blinkered.
Regarding the weekend's controversial incident's there are those that just aren't conclusive and therefore it should be left to the referee, and only him, to decide whether or not to look at VAR and then only he should make the decision. The Man. Utd. / Chelsea decision wasn't conclusive nor was Brighton's second penalty conclusive. I personally don't think that either were penalties. For Solksjar to claim it was 100% a penalty was ridiculous. What was conclusive though was that Mason did make a mistake. In hindsight that goal should have stood.
Solskjaer,was not a bad player in his day.as a manager along with the other money club managers and players are to put it bluntly titty babbies,they come on sky and whatever ,and sound stupid and childish.maguire after the baggies game .made himself look stupid I though he was gonna start blartin.they manage and play for money clubs and think its there devine right to win every game.
