The Rugby Thread (Part 1)

What happened?

Lacey blocked a France defender led to NZ scoring a try. Went to TMO. Was incredibly obvious. Lacey said he was fine with it.

So apparently there is no provision in the rules for ref getting in the way. So Lacey should have just shrugged his shoulders and been happy with his handy work. Had no reason to go to TMO. Law is an ass.

Christ above. A good company man though. Screw the frogs and protect brand all black and you are destined for big things.

Judging by your clip there the pass was also forward :smile:

What a farcical game.

This will be another 50 pointer. French have lost interest now

In this 3 match series alone there have been more match changing mistakes from referees than at the entire football world cup. Shows the importance of players being allowed to make their feelings known to referees immediately on the field and holding them accountable. Otherwise you get referees full of their own self importance and the paying customer repeatedly cheated. Rugby could learn alot from how footballers treat referees.

Hon France!

That doesn’t look grounded

Lacey intent on awarding a phantom try. Had to be strong armed by TMO into changing call

This is one of the worst refereeing performances I’ve ever seen. Missed a clear knock on there in lead up to another try. France have been very good in this series. The scoreboard is not showing how good.

The Frog played the referee and exaggerated it. Although Lacey’s positioning wasn’t great.

Irish bus delayed to the ground by 30 minutes. Cheeky Aussies.

Kickoff put back?

Oh no, this could be Edinburgh all over again.

That was a terrible call by the officials for the first McKenzie try.

Chaos here. Help. @carryharry. Hillsborough.

Did you bring someone with you to explain what’s happening on the pitch?

Chiefs lead the Highlanders 42 zip at HT in Fiji. Scenes.
