That from the ref is fucking shit, the penalty against Farrell was harsh anyway but to then restart whilst England players still had water bottles is poor. Technically there's nothing wrong but a decent ref give a bit of notice.

I think this ref wants to be the star of the show in fairness

Some fucking shocking decisions from the ref here. England have been shit but you can't account for this.

England have been utterly pathetic once again, but that awarding of a try is a disgrace

Having seen all the angles Gauzere should be removed from international refereeing immediately, fucking appalling decision, even the original penalty that led to it was harsh to then tell him to talk to his team and restarting play before they're back in decision is very close to intentional cheating.

3rd Wales try, a lot of poor things about it (pathetic clear out by Hill in the main) but Daly just made a complete c**t of himself in the positioning to defend it.

Glad to come on here and read that the consensus opinion by people who know more about rugby than me is that the ref is having a shocker. Unsurprisngly, perhaps, French TV aren't talking about it, but I got the impression thatche wasn't controlling the game at all in the first half.

That said, England are very dull, except when they finally seem to renounce the kicking game for 5 mins before the break and cut through the Welsh at will. Any chance Eddie Jones will put 2+2 together ?

Ref just pissed me off again, Welsh SH lifts the ball, English midfield press forward, he tells them to stop and then when play has gone and they're caught milling around in midfield he confirms they were all onside, that's the sort of basic errors that you just can't make at this level as the ref.

The refereeing has been a disgrace, but England's discipline has been worse. Jones simply has to be sacked now.

I had it on the radio. It got me thinking that like many on this site think there's much we could learn from rugby's use of VAR, perhaps there's a similar cohort amongst union fans thinking that aping soccer's use of it makes things a bit more edgey.
