[QUOTE="Pom in Exile, post: 922693, member: 75439"] Tbf, I think NZ generally take the advantage themselves, they are notoriously slow starters but tend to be great for the 10 minutes either side of halftime and normally go into overdrive in the last 20. NZ still have an ‘aura’ about them which mostly affects the officials imo. My point about Barnes was that he seems implacable to me and seems to ref the same way regardless of who is involved. I’m sure that I’ll be called delusional or paranoid etc but as an Englishman I often feel that some officials, subconsciously at least, would like to see England turned over. The Welsh touch judge from the other week was a classic example for me, reminded me of the hateful Steve Walsh. Anyhoo, congrats to Ireland on a great win, although it wasn’t a surprise to me.
