Planet Rugby with a special item on how Wayne Barnes had a fantastic game on Saturday.[/b]

He was good most of the night. He just needs to learn the rules concerning driving malls, as well as certain breakdown situations. We were penalized twice because the referee said that George Smith was entitled to play the ball on his feet. Only problem was, he was playing Fourie du Preez, and made NO EFFORT WHATSOEVER to take the ball.

When we are driving forward in a mall, and the Australians CLEARLY come in from the side, taking out players while being there, yet we get pinged for obstruction? GTFO.

I love how this article only points out the decisions it wants to, not the ones that really mattered. We didn't lose because of the ref. We lost because we were outplayed, and out-muscled. But when decisions like that keep going against you, it's very hard to stay motivated, and not get frustrated. We lost our heads, and Australia punished us for it.
