England vs New Zealand - 15/11/2025

Referee might as well be in a black shirt.

Given how squint the Newzealand lineouts have been in this game, that was a very harsh decision against England.

 

[TommiG88]

This ref is just taking the ****?

Finally a sealing off given

Spoiler: Sp v Eng A

9-7, pen Spain.

 

[dirty harry]

Thats a scrum pen?!?!?!

England look dominant, NZ have over extended and slipped.

I havnt seen the first half, but this is disgraceful reffing so far, and Im welsh and happy to see England lose

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Referee is an unbiased and upstanding individual and I've always said so.

 

[Rinkadink]

Just tuned in as visiting the better half in hospital, that looked like a harsh scrum call.

What's been the story of the game, in brief?

 

[j-dawg]

All black tighthead going straight off his feet, penalty to nz?

England dominant, but NZ clinical when there's an opportunity.
NZ getting the majority of the 50:50s. Several other odd decisions - both ways

 

[Rinkadink]

Thank you.

NZ been quite clinical. England playing ok, making mistakes. Ref not controlling the game

12-7 Spain, another penalty for offside against England. Not a good game and not well refereed so far...

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

It's incredible England are in this given the 6 lineouts lost.

 

[Crash Hamster]

STOP. KICKING. THE. BALL. AWAY.

 

[j-dawg]

England with a dominant scrum, and the ref has done his absolute best to negate this strength. We’re probably two tries short of what we deserve at this point.

 

[Ddanno]

Not convinced by Maro's captaincy tbh. He seems to irritate refs quite frequently

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Radwan should be playing instead of Roebuck

He's no Owen Farrell, that's for certain...

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

That’s either an England scrum penalty or pollock left the scrum early. Has to be something.

Yeah, Maro just annoys them quietly
