[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 652299, member: 20605"] I agree. Honours were about even in my book, and IMO the AB's were correctly penalised for not driving straight and walking the scrum around It may have been harsh, but it was fair... 1. The referee did not call "maul", and at this level it is always called. These are professional players who should know better. 2. The referee [U]twice[/U] told him to release. Even if Farrell thought it was maul, he should still not have ignored the call to release. Last week, many English posters were complaining about how Fekitoa didn't get a YC in a near-identical situation. If Fekitoa's was a YC then so was Farrell's; if Farrell's wasn't as YC, then nor was Fekitoa's. They can't have it both ways. Which passes are you claiming were forward? A pass isn't forward just because Chris Robshaw waves his arms about and gives the AR a mouthful!! [/QUOTE]
