I think looking back on this game, there was a lot of good and bad for both sides. For England, Tuilagi and Barrit were a very strong midfield pairing who kept a tight ship throughout the game. Also Farrel seems to be made of stern stuff, good all round game and certainly not fazed by the...

I did see the incident with Adam Jones (reminded me of the lions tour incident with Botha) but if that made him so mad why not just punch Ryan out. Welsh Players need to realise, everything we do is seen and acted on, so they need to be a bit sneakier.

I think the ban was relatively light to be honest. It did seem out of charcter for Davies though ? Main Issue regarding the ban is its a complete lottery what you will get depends on who is banning you, which country you are from if you say sorry you get less than if you try to clear your name...

Cymro , read your own posts ref grammar. I am unhappy that you take a dig at my grammar when yours, and other posters are just as bad. No one is off crying about it , just decided to show that your own posts and others can be held to account as well. Your last post being a classic example of...

Well, where to start. First off Cymro attacks my grammar, i return favour and now i am told, i shouldn`t do that. Someone gives me abuse , i give it back, i am told i shouldn`t do that. I should not disagree with Smartcooky because he is allways right , apparently. So what are we left...

Smartcooky wrote and complained about my grammar ! I have run my analyses of those videos past a number of people, including a former South African provincial prop, who now lives in NZ and a Senior referee. I have also run it past members of an international rugby referees forum, which has a...

ok gods gift to the reffing fraternity. look at law book and check every time tialat goes for bind , he doesn`t make it and puts hand on floor whilst italian quite rightly grabs jersey literally at top of arm reaching as far as he can to try and make the bind, so first offense by the rugby laws...

reply to cymru and others, you seemed quiet when i was being insulted yet still see fit to attack my posts. read what actually happenned.:mad: i was then accused of being a stalker, and then you top it off saying i want to watch wendy ball , when i want to watch real rugby union not some SH...

i think you see what you want to see ! when you see italian prop with incorrect binding, i see an all black not making any binding ! i reviewed this whole episode not with another ref, but with a very experianced prop to explain the whys etc, when another prop doesn`t bind and puts hand on...

LOOK DUMB COOKY , MAY AS WELL RESORT TO YOUR LANGUAGE AS ITS ALL YOU SEEM TO UNDERSTAND. first off , i was replying directly to a post regarding NZ scrum , not using that post to attack paddy , get it. If NZ had such a good scrum at this time, how come they could not compete with a 6 man...

it was a figure of speech going back to 2002 and forwards when both NZ and australia both started to use scrum as a means to restart game rather than contest. NZ after getting hammerred by england at home in the scrums realised they needed to do something and started to get it back together. as...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbOA8ff4FQ4 during his involvement with ELVs another joke from irb mainly from southern hemispehere coaches and with full backing from mr obrien himself. paddy here talks about laws, and his arguement is at odds with what he tells refs via his directives. first...

seems like you can find no fault with paddy, so if its not bias maybe its love ! here`s what planet rugby had to say about dickinson affair. hardly puts paddy in a good light does it ! http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,16017_5708497,00.html yet when the scottish coach (who just...

for some reason , last part was missed off , should say"maybe if paddy wasnt from NZ and from uk instead you would change your mind. "

but the point about his gaffe with dickinson , was bad enough to publicly slate a ref , but whats even worse was that he apologised to HIS home union about dickinson, now that is bias !!!!! what about having to issue a public apology to peter thorburn as well over yet more comments ! maybe if...

well said. !!!

first off where`s this bias business coming from ? from what i see on this forum ,most people want to shoot down anyone with an opinion and yet not offer any alternative them selves. what do you think should be done about current mess between refs and interpretations ? leave it as it is , how...

actually paddy obrien was born july 59 and spreaders mar 62 mmmmmm !

so tony spreadbury is pushing 50 and that means he can`t make a decision on the modern game, he is more in touch than o`brien who stopped reffing years ago and is probably older !:rolleyes: If you read the article it states that he will do what he can get away with untill ref stops him, same...

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/08/23/2013010.htm?section=world as for more experianced refs, how about tony spreadbury, or wayne barnes who does not seem to show bias.
