World Rugby have completely hung him out to dry. Joubert was correct in the sense that it wasn’t an incident he could have referred to TMO - the criticism that most people have made him of him is that he didn’t refer it, so that’s unfounded.
With his past form though, its hard to have too much sympathy for Joubert. He made a complete balls of the 2011 final and forgot that he had to had to referee New Zealand as well as France. Any half competent referee capable of blocking out home pressures in 2011 would have resulted in France as champions.
I missed all Ireland’s games in the competition. Is there anywhere online to watch the Argentina-Ireland game in full or even the opening and closing 20 minutes?
I wonder if they will give the final to Owens, he is the best referee in the game but in saying that the the final is in Twickenham so that uber cunt Barnes will probably get it.
